Today's Teaching…
"txt
msgs"
Most of us have
received a text
message, an e-mail,
a letter, or a note
from a friend. A lot
of times when we
receive one, we
can’t wait to see
what the writer has
to say. We open it
up and can’t wait to
see the emotion and
thought that the
author of the letter
has poured into it.
It’s the same thing
with the Bible –
it’s just that the
person behind each
note is God. And the
notes aren’t only
about God, they’re
also about who we
are.
During this teaching
series called
txt msgs,
we will enter a new
world of words and
find
ourselves in on a
conversation in
which God has the
first and last
words. What we soon
will realize is that
we are included in
the conversation.
This is precisely
what generation
after generation of
Bible readers find:
the Bible is not
only written about
us but to us. In
these txt msgs we
become insiders to a
conversation in
which God uses words
to form and bless
us, to teach and
guide us, to forgive
and save us.

Friends:
If you have started
attending any time
within the last year
I want you to be my
guest at a light
lunch on January 11th right
after the second
gathering. During
this time I want to
tell you the MVCC
story (the what and
the why) and give
you an opportunity
to ask me questions
you might have. In
addition, you will
be able to think
about the next step
in your relationship
to this
community of faith.
I really want you
to be my guest at
this event. At this
time we are unable
to provide child
care but we want
your children to
come too.
Please let me know
you are coming by
sending me an email-
My email is
timcox@miamivalley.org
I know your time is
valuable so we will
work hard at making
this meeting last no
more than 90 minutes
(much less if there
aren't many
questions)
Looking forward to a
growing friendship
on this journey
