God’s already made it plain how to live, what to do, what God is looking for in men and women. It’s quite simple: Do what is fair and just to your neighbor, be compassionate and loyal in your love, and don’t take yourself too seriously – take God seriously. -Micah 6:8 (from Th e Message, Eugene H. Peterson, translator)

SERMON “Martha and Mary” Donald R. Frampton*AFFIRMATION OF FAITH (unison), Th e Apostles’ Creed, p. 35 Hymnal

I believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth. And in Jesus Christ his only Son our Lord; who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin

Mary, suff ered under Pontius Pilate, was crucifi ed, dead, and buried; he descended into hell; the third day he rose again from the dead; he ascended into heaven, and sitteth on the right hand of God the Father Almighty; from thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead.

I believe in the Holy Ghost, the holy catholic church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body and the life everlasting. Amen.

Speaking of Pancakes....Did you know that it takes 40 gallons of maple sap to make 1 gallon of Maple syrup? Or that one Maple tree only generates 2 gallons of sap per season? Maple syrup is special stuff! Many thanks to Bob Wilklow for providing the syrup for today’s brunch, straight from Scranton’s Natural Products in Delhi, NY, where he is a frequent visitor. Only the best for SCAPC! Thanks again, Bob!!
