The Legend of the Dogwood

4/20/2011

0 Comments

 
An old and beautiful legend says that, at the time of the crucifixion,
the dogwood was comparable in size to the oak tree and other
monarchs of the forest. Because of its firmness and strength it was selected
as the timber for the cross, but to be put to such a cruel use
greatly distressed the tree. Sensing this, the crucified Jesus in his gentle
pity for the sorrow and suffering of all said to it:
“Because of your sorrow and pity for my sufferings, never again will the
Dogwood tree grow large enough to be used as a cross.
Henceforth it will be slender, bent and twisted and its blossoms
will be in the form of a cross – two long and two short petals.
In the center of the outer edge of each petal there will be
nail prints – brown with rust and stained with red – and in the center
of the flower will be a crown of thorns,
and all who see this will remember.”

The Backslider's Reward

4/14/2011

0 Comments

 
James Knox in Sunday’s Children writes of the woe that
befell a “sinner” who forsook church attendance on Sunday.

 It is difficult on drowsy summer Sundays not to look out the church windows to watch the magic monotony of its motion and listen to the quiet song it sings.  Even Father, in his pulpit, would often stare dreamily out of the window toward the stream and the fields that lay beyond.
 On one such Sunday, when father was in the midst of his sermon, we noticed how often he glanced that way. Soon he began edging toward the window, intently interested in something outside. It wasn’t long before everyone who was sitting near the row of windows was looking, too; and we saw a man walking slowly along swinging a stick and stooping every few paces to pick up a stone to throw in the brook. We thought the noise of the plop was bothering Father, but that wasn’t it. A few yards behind the walking man walked a goat.
 Every time the man stooped down the goat paused and lowered its head. The situation was full of suspense. Father’s preaching went on without a break, while he wondered and we all wondered when or if the issue would be joined. The goat timed his charge to the split-second-seeking to know with some sixth sense when the man would bend down. The man flew through the air with a startled cry, the goat, its mission accomplished, ran happily across the field with its back feet kicking in the air and Father stamped his foot and slapped his leg in the way he did when he was very pleased. “Another backslider has learned, “Father announced to the congregation, “that the safest place to be on Sunday morning is in the church.”

Our Deacons

Pray for these good men that they may serve this Church with humility and graciousness.  Acts 6:3 states of church deacons as men of (1) honest report, (2) full of the Holy Spirit and (3) full of wisdom.  God bless our deacons, their wives, and families.
