October messages planned

In an article written before hurricane Lee, Atlantic magazine had already called 2011: the year of the disaster.  Even without the difficult economic times of our year, and the sobering reminder provided by the 10th anniversary of 9/11, the natural disasters of the year have given us all pause to think. I feel led during the month of October to examine the writings of an ancient prophet who spoke to Israel in a time following a natural disaster.    The series will begin October 9 and is called the Power of Prayer.  The prophet’s name was Joel.   October 2 is World Communion Sunday so together with Christians around the world we will celebrate the Lord’s Supper then.

I decided to change the title of this series to one that fits it and the book of Joel more accurately. I’m going to title it “Seeking God after Disaster.” I pray that it is a blessing.
