Sunday, January 21, 2007 – Epiphany III
Dear Centenary Church Family:
Come, come, everybody Worship…this Sunday, January 21 at 10:15 AM in our Sanctuary, as we celebrate the Third Sunday After the Epiphany. Michael Savoia will share a special word with the children, after which they and our youth will be dismissed for Sunday School classes. My morning Message, Gifts for the Body, is the second of a series of three sermons based on chapters 12 & 13 of Paul’s first letter to the Corinthian Christians…this week we will hear the reading from 1 Corinthians 12:12-31, along with the story of Jesus’ preaching at his hometown Nazareth synagogue from Luke 4:14-21. Our Chancel Choir will sing Praise God! Sing All Ye Heavens (From “Missa Brevis in F,” K. 192 by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart) as edited and arranged by Hal H. Hopson. Our Celebration of Found Coins for January is designated for the Raritan Valley District Church Union.

ADULT CLASS STUDY ON CHRISTIAN PUBLIC THEOLOGY: The Adult Class will be continuing the study on Christian Public Theology on Sunday, January 14 at 9:00 AM. We will be discussing The Social Principles of the United Methodist Church as these relate to John Wesley’s concept of the Quadrilateral: the reliance on Scripture, Tradition, Experience and Reason in the interpretation of social issues and moral discernment. The Social Principles and Quadrilateral method will be applied to understanding the position of the United Methodist Church on Capital Punishment as a critical social issue of our times. If you are interested in participating in these sessions, please speak to Bob Carlson or Pastor John Painter to receive a copy of The Social Principles of the United Methodist Church.
