Dear Church,
Over the next several weeks in worship, we will be sharing the story of David. Specifically, we will remember the following stories:
God demanding Samuel continue to look for the future king of the children of Israel, until they finally bring the boy David in from the fields.
David brings the Ark to Jerusalem
The story of David and Goliath
David is anointed king
Nathan confronting David with Bathsheba and the death of Uriah
The story of Absalom's rebellion
The lectionary readings for this summer contain several more stories of David. We are going to miss some of them. David is one of the most important characters in the Hebrew Bible. I am grateful the lectionary offers us this opportunity to spend this time with David during his high's and his lows.
See you Sunday!
Grace and Peace,
Pastor Alan
