“My soul magnifies the Lord, and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior.” —Luke 1:46-47
Sunday, November 7, 2021
We are pleased to have Allan Kennedy returning to be our speaker on November 7th. He will refer to 3 Scriptures but will be using as the basis for his lesson: Matthew 9:36. When he saw the crowds he had compassion on them because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. His lesson is: As Christians what is our personal responsibility/limits with regard to Compassion ?

CUC President’s Message
And Mary said, “My soul magnifies the Lord, and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior.” —Luke 1:46-47
Joy, unlike happiness, can come to us independent of our circumstances. It comes not from changing our circumstances but from viewing them through the eyes of faith. Mary, despite dangers, fears, risks, and upended dreams, “magnified the Lord and rejoiced in God.” She did this with the help of Elizabeth and with her own willingness to trust that God was working in and through her to accomplish his purposes. Joy is a choice we make when we look at our present circumstances through the eyes of faith, trusting that God is at work and that he will never leave us or abandon us. And it is often found with the help of another who reassures us that God is with us.
