Pastor Buddy guides us as we take another look at John 3:16 and the verses that surround it.  He shows us some thought-provoking connections between snakes and the cross, between God's love and our acceptance of that love.

Here is the worship service for the 3rd week in Lent, March 7.  The text is Mark 14: 53-72 . Thanks to our worship leaders Ben, Jerrie Sue, the choir, and Pastor Buddy.  The bulletin is posted on the church web page: https://fumc-copperhill.org/

Buddy continues leading us in familiar Holy Week Scriptures.  But he brings new ideas to this discussion of Jesus cleansing the temple.  

This service, for the 2nd Sunday in Lent, is based on John 6:16-21 (a change from the printed bulletin).  Thank you, Jerrie Sue, Ben, today's Covid-19 choir, and Buddy, for leading us in worship.  You can download a copy of the bulletin via this link: https://fumc-copperhill.org/2021/02/28/bulletin-for-feb-28-2021/

Questions raised by Pastor Buddy in this study include:

• What was Peter's definition of "Messiah"?
• What is OUR definition of "Messiah"?
• Who is Jesus to us?
• What does it mean to be His disciples in 2021, in Copperhill, TN?

May these studies bless you and help you grow in your faith.
