Trying to See
Joseph Santos | Young Adult Pastor
This week we step into the story of Zacchaeus. A man overlooked, judged, and ostracized by his community. A “wee little man” who could not see Jesus because the crowd would not make room for him. Yet instead of allowing his past or his reputation determine his future, Zacchaeus ran ahead.
3 He wanted to see who Jesus was, but because he was short he could not see over the crowd. 4 So he ran ahead and climbed a sycamore-fig tree to see him, since Jesus was coming that way.
Fellowship Dinner
Everyone is invited to join us this Sabbath, February 21, in the Fellowship Hall for our next fellowship dinner. Members, as you are able, please plan to contribute to the meal by bringing 10-12 servings of a vegetarian dish per person attending (the Potluck Team provides enough food for their families and our guests, but we depend on our members bringing food in order to have enough). As always, visitors are welcome to join us as our guests.
