I've been working on the sermon for this weekend and have concluded that I need to extend our entire LOST series. I simply cannot do justice to the Luke 15 passages in the four weeks I had previously given to it. The extension will give me more time for the Prodigal Son passages in Luke 15:11-24. What I had previously planned on teaching in one week, I will now cover in three weeks. For those who like to keep up on the big picture at Church Requel, here is how the new LOST sermon series will look:
- January 31st - "One in a 100," Luke 15:1-7
- February 7th - "Search Party," Luke 15:8-10
- February 14th - "Wasted," Luke 15:11-16
- February 21st - "Volte-Face," Luke 15:17-20a
- February 28th - "Radical Compassion," Luke 15:20b-24
- March 7th - "The Other," Luke 15:25-32
This means, of course, that we'll keep the LOST set going for a couple extra weeks. So if you have some Hawaiian Luau set pieces, we'd really appreciate you lending them to us for a few weeks. By the time we get to the end of the series, we should be able to decorate Hawaiian quite well! This also means that attendees can continue their festive island paradise clothing choices for a couple more weeks too.
Each week of the remaining series will be held at the Mid-Ohio Conference Center, 890 Fourth Street, Mansfield, 44906.
Maybe, by the end of the sermon series, we should celebrate with a real Hawaiian Luau on March 7th! What do you think? It will have been three months since our last Church Requel pot luck. Let me know if you'd like to have a party on March 7th!
