St. Mark Encinitas

This Week's Sermon
BORNE UP ON EAGLES' WINGS
Guest Pastor Eric Kaelberer
Sunday, June 14 | 9:30 am

The Ten Words, those Ten Commandments, were soon to be given to the people of the Exodus at Sinai. The Lord led them to the foot of Mount Sinai, and before Moses climbed its heights to receive these Ten Words, the Lord spoke first to Moses and then to the people. He is ever the God who speaks, who hears, who listens, who makes the unholy become holy—indeed, His "treasured possession!"

In the Hebrew, "treasured possession" is a unique word, segoulah. As we walk through the wilderness of life toward our Promised Land, what it means to be the Lord's segoulah is that we have His eagle's wings, His Word and Sacraments, His holy gifts. These holy gifts are our joy. We cherish that we are cherished! Stay tuned for more in the sermon! This text is a gold mine of strength for you, His segoulah!

ADOPT-A-PROP
Sunday, July 5

Help bring VBS to life this summer by adopting a prop project! We are looking for volunteers to take home simple craft and decoration projects that will help transform our church for VBS week. Each prop bag will include supplies and instructions so you can work on it at your own pace from home.

Completed projects can be returned to the Welcome Center by July 5th. This is a fun and easy way for individuals, families, and children to be part of the VBS excitement and help create a welcoming space where kids can learn about Jesus.

Thank you for supporting our VBS ministry and helping make this year special for our children and families!
