New faces and new names,

Announcements:
Bible Study/Small Grouo starting next Wednesday September 26, 2018 led by Amanda.
Jonathan and ____ got engaged over the summer, he went to Serb for two months super neat.
Ruth and her Husband Bill are doing music and Speaking tonight
Reading from Matthew
Starting with the Genealogy, all the way through King David, Solomon, deportation in Babylon, to Jacob and Joseph and Mary-Jesus. 14 generations x3?
Jesus’ birth.
Affirmation of faith.
Speaker Bill Morrow “What to do when God goes off Script”
Ice breakers, life is expected and live is unexpected
That sort of experience is exactly what the Gosoel writers went through, especially Matthew (which is the theme? for this church time).
...
...
And then, along came Jesus
Matthew is reassuring us that God is on script, and Matthew is unique in that it references the Jewish/Hebrew scriptures about this.
Matthew doesn’t have something about Jesus death and resurrection.
Matthew is imperfect? In the genealogies there are many recorded illigitimacies.
Historical placement of Matthew as a gospel in the Ancient Near East.
The legacy of the Church in Canada in the context of Residential Schools, etc. Also sexual abuse in the church.
Why bother having anything to do with the Christian Faith?
Take notes from Jesus’ life and death and resurrection.
Question: “Zero cultural support for The Gathering, why’d you bother coming out tonight?”
Meal
That’s all for now!
