Walnut Hill Church Weekly Letter

Wednesday, May 11, 2011

Greetings to all!

Having completed a study of Jesus as found in the New Testament 
gospels, our Sunday Conversations turn to a few weeks of studying 
Jesus as found in the "non-canonical" gospels, such as The Gospel 
of Thomas.  Consider these words of Jesus from The Gospel of Thomas
and if they pique your curiosity, stop by at 10am on Sunday to hear more.

Jesus said, "If those who lead you say to you, 'Behold, the kingdom
is in the sky,'  then the birds will precede you.  If they say to you, 'It
is in the sea,' then the fish will precede you.  Rather, the kingdom is
inside of you, and it is outside of you.  When you come to know 
yourselves, then you will become known, and you will realize that
it is you who are the [children] of the living father.  But if you will not
know yourselves you dwell in poverty, and it is you who are that 
poverty." 
(as found in Lost Scriptures)

In Memory:  Walnut Hill member Irene Bloomfield departed this life
on Tuesday, May 10.   Friends may call on Friday, May 13, 4 - 7 pm, 
at the Bloomfield residence.  Burial services will be private.  Our prayers 
are with Irene's family. 

Men's Coffee:  Walnut Hill men are invited to gather for coffee this 
Saturday, May 14, 8am, at Paneras on Richmond Road.  Feel free to
stop in for as long or short a time as your schedule allows.  No rsvp
required.

Spring Potluck - Our traditional spring potluck will be held this Sunday, 
May 15, immediately after worship.  Bring a salad or side dish.  Meat,
dessert, and beverage will be provided.

Calling all Graduates - This Sunday, May 15, we will be honoring
high school graduates (Class of 2011) during the worship service.  We 
have contacted all the graduates of which we are aware to invite their 
participation.  If a graduate in your family has yet to receive this invitation, 
please let us know by reply email, so that we can include him/her in the 
celebration.

The Walnut Hill Day School is celebrating its 25th anniversary this Sunday,
May 15, 2:30 - 5:30 pm, with a festival on the Day School/Church grounds.
Congratulations to the Day School on the occasion of this anniversary.

Peace to all.

Mike Ward
