When you hear it do you think, “Yes!
Worship!”?
The trailer for the movie “Concussion”
includes a scene where the hero, Dr. Bennet Omalu, who is trying to persuade
the National Football League regarding the dangers of repeated head trauma, is
cautioned “You’re going to war with a corporation that owns a day of the week.”
Has football become the equivalent of shared
public worship?
Youth sports have long removed our children
from worship for sport. This year they
took two of our families away on Easter Sunday.
We in the church are again living counter
culturally in the pattern of our lives.
Sunday is their personal Funday for many.
We believe that God has given us a day, a
Sabbath, to rest and to enjoy the goodness of God’s presence with God’s people,
to worship God in Christian communities, to know his presence in unfiltered
glory and, because we recognize and worship God in communal worship, to be
prepared to see, hear, and follow him the rest of the week.
Come and worship with us this Sunday at Faith
Lutheran Church at 8:30 a.m. or at 10:00 a.m.
We’re located at 505 East Bonita Avenue (one-half block east of the Post
office) in San Dimas. Find more
information at www.faithsd.net. Contact
Pastor Berkedal at flc@faithsd.net or at
909 599-3978 if you have any questions.
