On the Sunday prior to the start of classes, Heather, the kids and I joined our hosts, Jeff and Julie, at Greentree Community Church for worship. This congregation, which is associated with the Evangelical Presbyterian Church, typically gathers for worship in Kirkwood North Middle School at 0900 and 1045 on Sundays.
Rev. Dr. Tom Ricks presented the sermon, which emphasized the cost of discipleship. This sermon continued the congregation’s one-and-a-half year series on Luke; today’s sermon was based on Luke 9:18-25.
During our time together, Rev. Ricks also highlighted the upcoming “20:28” event. Greentree has, for the past several years, conducted a large service ministry event. Members of the congregation have gathered together and then dispersed across the greater St. Louis metropolitan area to “celebrate the grace of God through service”. At the time of Sunday’s service, the Spirit had led 367 members of the congregation to sign up to participate!
