Pastor Harold's Ponderings:
Introducing the Journey of a Summertime
It's Going to be a...BLAST...from the PAST!!!
After a period of intense and relentless wheedling and cajoling by our resident Webmeister, Sandee Wolfinger, "When are you going to give me some new content for our webpage? When Harold? WHEN???" Coming to a point of deeply impacting existential anxiety, I finally determined that the only way I would arrive at a place of serenity of soul was to sit down and write a new newsletter article. And here, after literally minutes and minutes of thoughtful comtemplation, is the otcome. (Are you happy now Sandee?)
Introducing the Journey of a Summertime -
It's Going to be a Blast from the Past!!!
Preaching in the summer is always an interesting experience for me. The crowd changes so much from week to week, what with vacations and all, that it's hard to plan anything that requires much of a presence in the weeks prior, or that would be greatly benefited by being present for what's going to happen in the sermon the next week. The sermons need to stand on their own. Each week is a story of its own.
So, I thought it would be a fun break from our normal pattern to Dive Into a sermon series of character studies and stories from the Old Testament.
Welcome to the Summer Series: Poets...Priests...and...Prophets.
Here's a preview of where we're going.
- June 27 - A Song for Deer Season! (Psalm 42)
- July 4 - Preaching to the Independence Day Theme (This will be a GREAT DAY!!!)
- July 11 - Beef: It's What's for Dinner! (Rare...Or Well Done?) (1 Kings 18:16-40)
- July 18 - When All the News is Bad, Worse, and Just Plain AWFUL!!! (1 Kings 19:1-18)
- July 25 - Phinehas: A Priest Who Got it Right!
- August 1 - Gott Family Reunion....If you're related to me, you should be there!
- August 8 - Eli: A Priest Who Got It WRONG! (1 Samuel 2:27-36)
- August 15 - Worthy of Worship (Psalm 19)
- August 22 - Calling a Spade....a Spade (Psalm 51)
- August 29 - When a Poet is a Prophet! (Psalm 22)
- September 5 - And Now for an EXCITING Message from Obadiah!
There you have it!!! A roadmap for where we're going to be going together on vacation this summer. And I'm here to tell you that it has the promise of living up to one of my favorite sayings, "More Fun Than Ought to be Legal!!!" As they say in Hawaii 5-O, "Be There...Aloha!!!"

3:16 • The Numbers of Hope • The message of 3:16
A twenty-six-word parade of hope: beginning with God, ending with life, and urging us to do the same.
Brief enough to write on a napkin or memorize in a moment,
yet solid enough to weather two thousand years of storms and questions.
"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son,
that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life." John 3:16
