2020-01-05 Message for Kids- Like the Wise Men, You Are An Amazing Gift!

By Intersections, Sermons

When the Wise men visited Jesus they brought gifts worth giving: Gold, frankincense and myrrh. As cool as those gifts were, they aren’t nearly as important as the individuals themselves. Each of us have value way beyond what we do. Exceeding things we give. Just you being you. Whoa! What a gift! You are the gift worth giving! We can learn a lot from the wise men who knew Jesus was the King! Let’s give gifts like the wise men today. Would you help me give away some real frankincense and myrrh this morning? Great. Here, take some for yourselves and meet me as people are sent out today! Thank you for being amazing gifts!

This week, January 26, 2020, we meet in Price Hall for our energizing worship! (Not the Red Brick Church. Price Hall is located on our campus at the corner of Seashore and Academy Roads, adjacent to the large parking lot.)

Everyone is invited to this special worship service at 10:30 am with a luncheon that precedes our exciting annual meeting. (Yes, everyone is invited to worship, lunch, and the annual meeting. It will be amazing!)

We believe that everyone deserves to experience God’s love in relevant and authentic ways. Come and experience energizing worship at 10:30 AM on Sundays in our beautiful, historic, red brick church. Inspiring message. Great music. An interactive time with kids. Our thriving faith community has begun a Brave New Year to put God’s love into action to help make greater Cape May a better place. We joyfully love and serve God and our neighbors in the name of Jesus Christ through the power of the Holy Spirit. Join us.

You may be younger, or older; a long-time resident, guest, or seasonal visitor to Cape May; You may like being more dressed-up, casual, or prefer a ready-for-the-beach look at worship…  so stop by, just the way you are! Connect in the way that fits your schedule: Worship. Special Holiday Events. Concerts. Dinners. We are here for you.

Worship Online due to pandemic

COVID-19 PANDEMIC REQUIRES SOCIAL DISTANCING AND WORSHIP IS ONLINE ONLY!

Hello. We’re glad you’re here! We believe that everyone deserves to experience God’s love in relevant and authentic ways, especially during a pandemic! How are you doing? No one will remain unaffected by this pandemic. Covid-19 presents an unprecedented global health crisis that increasingly threatens lives and our quality of life closer and closer to home. Travel bans. School closures. Fear, uncertainty, and anxiety are among our responses while social distancing is necessarily becoming our default behavior along with thorough hand-washing. Don’t beat yourself up if you feel fear. Listen again to last week’s message and the admonition from 1 John 5:4: Faith overcomes fear as we let God’s word hold us, not fear. We live by faith.

Social distancing is not a modern invention. In the message this week from John 9, we will meet a man who experienced social distancing; from his family, from his neighborhood, from his religious community, too. No one wanted him close. Except Jesus. Let’s not confuse social distancing with spiritual distancing. Remember that Jesus is as close as a friend, offering living water that satisfies our deepest thirst, and connects us to the presence of God, opening our eyes to see!

Plan to join us on Cold Spring Worship Online at 10:30 AM on Sundays.

Read the scripture readings, the Lenten devotional, and the digital worship worship guide. We can practice spiritual closeness and social distancing at the same time!

  1. How will you safely practice social distancing but stay spiritually close to others who need you? To others you need?
  2. What has God done for you? With whom will you share that through a phone call or email this week?
  3. Think about a time when Jesus corrected an incomplete understanding and brought healing?
  4. Could this health crisis be an occasion for more radical care, greater compassion, and wider inclusion, or will we miss the opportunity to show the love of God to those most in need of it?
  5. Get connected this week. Pray. Give thanks. Thank you for supporting our mission to energize spirits and transform lives in new ways! Be safe as you live by faith

And whatever your church background, or no church experience at all, you’re WELCOME! As it has for 306 years, Cold Spring Church continues to follow Jesus Christ and serve this community. We’ve been getting ready to meet you.

Stay safe. Wear a mask. Wash your hands. Stay six feet apart! Let’s have a Brave New Year together. God loves you, and so do we. See you Sunday!
