“Wilderness of Engedi”
Lithograph by Louis Haghe
after original work by David Roberts, 1843.
Last week, we studied the romantic relationship between David and Michal to see how God's love is present within "Eros" love. This week, we study the story of David and Saul in the wilderness of En-gedi to see how two adversaries can still be bound together by love's affection or "Storge".

All are welcome to keep the conversation going after worship within Sunday school!

Thank You for Supporting Habitat! |
|
Our hearts are full of gratitude as we give thanks for all the volunteers who have offered their time, talents, and treasures to help build this year's Habitat house for Marquetta and her family. Special thanks to Larry Johnson and his merry band of helpers for all they have done throughout the build, not just during CHPC's week, and to Sharon Pugh for leading the logistical support behind the scenes.
The work continues throughout the next few weeks, so please continue to pray for everyone who works to help make this house a home. Be on the look out as pictures and updates continued to be shared! Thank you for your support!
