What's Happening at the Kirk: Sunday, March 14, 2010
Sunday’s coming and we hope to see you at the Kirk, where, as always, there’s plenty going on. 
Our worship this week focuses on the story from Luke 7 where Jesus’ feet are anointed by a woman who was a notorious sinner. When Jesus’ host protests at what she has done, Jesus affirms her action as a sign that she had experienced forgiveness. This causes consternation among others who were watching. Does Jesus challenge believers to understand just how wide God's mercy is? It's a
nice feeling to be on the receiving end of such love, but reflecting it in the way we live our lives may pose a challenge. Norman Pritchard’s sermon is titled, “The Mission’s Too Broad!”
Keith Provost preaches in the St. Andrew’s service. He notes that, by judging
the sinfulness of a "woman of the city" and being scandalized by her presence
and embarrassed by her actions, Simon, the Pharisee, has allowed his percep-
tion of his own goodness to blind him to the goodness found in her. It has been
all too easy for him to condemn while forgetting his own need for forgiveness.
Dr. Provost will explore our need to recall that we are forgiven and of our need to
be forgiving as well. The Junior Girls Choir will be singing in St Andrew’s this Sunday.
The Between Services Bible Study continues this week to explore the texts used in worship at 10:15 in Abbey 28 with its topic A Sinner’s Love.
Karen Carl continues the discussion of Reggie MacNeal’s book Missional Renaissance, From Church Based to Kingdom Based Leadership in the St. Andrew’s Room at 10:30 a.m.
The Health Ministry Committee would like to invite you to have your blood pressure checked between services this Sunday. Visit our table in Heritage Hall and enjoy nutrient rich snacks as well.
