Friday's Thoughts
Rev. Janet Forbes, senior pastor at St. Lukes UMC, Highlands Ranch, is preaching on Sunday, September 30--Women's Ministry Sunday at FUMC. Her sermon text is Jeremiah 29:1, 4-7.
She is also using the work of Leonard Sweet in his book Postmodern Pilgrims, noting that in the postmodern world, those of us who are over 40 now are 'immigrants' into this new world and way of life (iPod, eBay, etc.) and that those who grew up in the technology boom era (under 40s) are 'natives' to this world.
How do we connect to each other? How do we make the church of modernity connect to the era of postmodernity? How does God relate to those who are coming of age in the postmodern world? How do we use tradition to propel us forward rather than keeping us stuck in modernity?
It will be a pleasure to welcome Janet to the pulpit Sunday. Please join me in welcoming her. In the meantime, if you have comments, please feel free to post them here, or email me at pameverhart@fcfumc.net
Look forward to hearing from you.
Peace,
Pam
