Uncategorizedadmin, January 26, 2012 @ 11:16 am

Fr. Justin Havens shares the following invitation:
“I pray this email finds you and your folks all well in this new year. I was writing to invite you and your people in the Orem/Provo community to come visit us this coming Friday night from 6-9pm at our newly-established Holy Apostles Orthodox Christian Mission church(280 W. Center St in Orem, turn between Holiday gas station and post office). Our goal is simply to introduce ourselves to all the people of Orem/Provo, regardless of religious affiliation, to let everyone know who we are, and that we are here to assist in the community.  So, I humbly ask that you join us, or at least stop by this Friday night to meet us, see our chapel, and have a snack and say hello. I look forward to meeting you. I f you would be willing to forward the attached flyer to faithful congregation so that they can join us, I would be most thankful. I pray this new year is blessed and fruitful for you, your family, and people.”

“For to baptize the Negro and admit him into membership in the Christian church was to recognize him as a man, a child of God, an heir of Heaven, redeemed by the blood of Christ, a temple of the Holy Ghost, a standing type and representative of the Savior of the world, one who, according to the apostle Paul, must be treated no longer as a servant, but as a beloved brother.” (Frederick Douglass)

Listen to a sermon by the Rev. Daniel Haas combining The Baptism of Christ and Martin Luther King, Jr. Day based on Genesis 1:1-5 and Mark 1:1-11. It was delivered at Provo Community United Church of Christ on January 15 2012.

Confirmation Class underway

Uncategorizedadmin, January 12, 2012 @ 9:44 am

Youth on the brink of adulthood experience many radical changes in their lives: Puberty is when parents start acting weird. Revisiting the faith you were brought up in or exploring your spirituality for the first time are great opportunities during this important period in life. Confirmation traditionally has been a youth’s approval and reaffirmation of the Baptism they received as an infant. Nowadays it can also a preparatory journey for Baptism itself. It is both challenging and fun. Our confirmation class had a great time at their opening retreat last weekend.

Art Fry sang in his church choir. Fry was frustrated by the fact that, when he stood and opened his hymnal to sing, the paper bookmarks that he used in his hymnal to mark the songs on the program would slip out of sight or even onto the floor. In a moment of insight that has become legendary in the realm of contemporary invention, Fry, musing during a rather boring sermon, came up with the idea that led to the invention of the Post-it note – what an Epiphany!

Listen to a sermon by the Rev. Daniel Haas commemorating Epiphany based on Micah 5:2-5a and Matthew 2:1-12. It was delivered at Provo Community United Church of Christ on January 8 2012.
