Rev. Dr. Connie Shelton, District Supervisor; Rev. Sandra Thomas, Pastor, Music Director
If you have traveled by air, you have been challenged by the TSA officer with proving your identity. You must prove that your boarding pass matches your id before you can enter the walkway to your aircraft. The TSA officer is basically saying, if it is you, prove it! Rev. Dr. Connie Shelton explains that in Matthew 14:22-33 that Peter steps out of the boat with full faith that the person walking on water is Jesus, but does Peter's faith keep him afloat? What keeps you afloat during the turbulent waters of today? Rev. Dr. Shelton has the answer in this sermon.
Rev Sandra Thomas leads and directs the music for this service. Anna McGough blesses the backpacks for students returning to school. Hannah Smith-Phillips sings the special music piece, "The Compassion Hymn." Hannah is accompanied by Jeff Reynolds on electric guitar, Ben Thomas on drums, and Darlene Baker on the Grand Piano. Jason Boyd provides organ accompaniment throughout the service.
