Woman of the Cloth
Join us as Seminary student, Carmen Shenk, explores the ways Jesus broke through the hierarchy, separating the old covenant and making a way to God’s presence- not just for Jewish men and priests, but for women, lepers, and gentile illegals. The life and death of Jesus brought all of us outsiders to the mountain of the Lord, full of rich presence, love, and peace. Carmen teaches from the Scripture, Psalm 24: 3-4.

Sunday’s sermon: “Confidence During Uncertainty” with Pastor Clair Good
Scripture Readings- Philippians 4: 4-9 and Luke 10: 25-37
I want to play with the idea that God is calling us to walk and serve Him in times of uncertainty. This will be a pastoral message with a focus on risking to care for others while we are incertain of our situation.

God With Us
Thank you for joining us for another episode of Playing With the Word Podcast, from Waynesboro Mennonite Church.
Today’s episode consists of two parts, shared by members Liisa and Marvin Weston, offering different perspectives on the struggles of addiction. In the first part of this episode, Marvin shares his story as a recovering alcoholic- his experiences while struggling with addiction and his recovery journey. In the second part of this episode, his wife Liisa shares her story and perspective of the challenges she faced as a family member of an addict and how she found support and healing.
Marvin and Liisa’s message is shared with honesty and transparency, and is a message of hope. Listen to their stories as they share how God met them in their struggles, opened their hearts to find support, healing, and transformation. This message offers hope to those who are currently struggling with addiction, those in recovery, and to the loved ones who are close to an addict and face these challenges, in different ways.
Thank you Liisa and Marvin for sharing your story with us. If you or a loved one are struggling with addiction, please visit Alcoholics Anonymous at www.aa.org. If you are a close friend or family member of an alcoholic and need support, visit al-anon.org. To find treatment centers close to you, call the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration hotline at 1-800-662-4357. We have provided links to these services in the episode caption.
Thanks again for joining us for Marvin and Liisa’s message-titled “God With Us” we hope this message will encourage you to seek support and recovery.
