Welcome to the email newsletter of Fairlawn West United Church of Christ 2095 West Market Street, Akron, OH 07/18/08  This
Sunday the 9:30 AM worship service in the sanctuary has the theme
"Confession". Matthew 3:7-17 "What counts is your life. Is it green and
blossoming? Because if it's deadwood, it goes on the fire.The heart of our journey with Jesus is we are saved by his forgiveness. Confession is more than "good for the soul." It is the way we come to know that we are forgiven.  Next Sunday July 27 Tom Gerstenlauer, pastor of Miller Ave UCC will be casting the Vision. The theme is "Jesus flew over the cuckoo's nest." The scripture is Matthew 10:34-39. "If you don't go all the way with me, through thick and thin, you don't deserve me. If your first concern is to look after yourself, you'll never find yourself. But if you forget about yourself and look to me, you'll find both yourself and me." Sunday, Aug 3 will be a worship service of a lot of singing. The office is closed July 21-25, but the answering machine will be checked.
