This Sunday is the commemoration of the Martyrdom of St. John the Baptist. The true story of John's fearless witness to God's truth - even when it cost him his life -- is a fitting way to go into the Fall semester. On campus and off, we are called to be faithful even to the point of death (Rev 2:10). Though we daily fail, we are counted as faithful for the sake of the one perfect "martyrdom": our crucified and risen Lord. Now made faithful, we are called to be loyal, steadfast, committed, and bold for the Gospel's sake. It will be a great day to worship together at 11am.
After worship, we'll have a good Welcome Back Cookout. Terry has secured a great grill on which to cook the burgers, brats, and dogs (bigger and better than even this). Invite a friend!
