This article from the Atlanta Journal- Constitution last spring has me wondering whether or not the October 21 “End Of The World” prediction by radio evangelist Harold Camping will stir up as much commotion as did his May 21 debacle. I also wonder why so many people spend so much time and energy on these predictions, especially when Jesus told His first disciples and all of still today not to do it (read Acts 1:6-11). That will be the focus of our sermon on October 16, “Make Today Count,” as we talk together about the time of our lives as Christians and how we are all called to focus on the present, instead of regretting the past and worrying about or trying to predict the future. The sermon text is taken from these familiar words in Psalm 118:24: “This is the day that the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it!” That is what I look forward to doing with you in the sanctuary on Sunday morning at 9:00 and 11:15 - so please join us and invite your family and friends to come on along as well! When the General Assembly of the PCUSA met in June 2010 and voted to change the Book of Order regarding sexuality and ordination, some congregations and individual members rejoiced and voiced their approval while others lamented and resolved to resist the change. Since then, most of us have been trying to understand what the GA decision means for all of our local churches. That will be the theme of our sermon on October 23, “Ammendment 10A and the PCUSA”. I plan to summarize the helpful report shared with the Session in September by the Rev. Dr. Joan Gray, former PCUSA Moderator and FPC staff member here. In addition, we will explore the guidance of scripture from Romans 12 which will hopefully set the tone not only for the sermon, but also for the way that our congregation deals with this divisive issue. So please pray to God for guidance as FPC seeks His direction in the days and months ahead, and lift up your prayers also for all of our Presbyterian sisters and brothers who seek to follow Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior of their lives, who desire to be faithful to the truth and authority of the Bible, and who are committed to the peace, unity and purity of the Presbyterian Church USA. I look forward to worshipping with you all on Sunday morning, and to engaging in an ongoing dialogue about these important issues. And please remember these words from Romans 12:18: “If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all (with one another). Faithfully Yours, George B. Wirth October 16 & 23 - George Wirth to preach OCTOBER 16, “Make Today Count” OCTOBER 23, “Ammendment 10A and The Presbyterian Church USA”

The Theology of Old Testament Law
Dr. Brent A. StrawnAssociate Professor of Old Testament
Candler School of Theology, Emory University
THE LAY ACADEMY
Have you ever wondered about the significance of Old Testament law? Is it all outdated in light of the New Testament or are any of those laws (613 according to the rabbis) still useful and per-tinent? This five week study will provide an introduction to the theological and ethical significance of Old Testament
law and will cover such items as: the narrative setting of OT law, various legal collec-tions in the OT (including the Ten Commandments and, yes, Leviticus!), and other matters pertaining to interpreting OT law, especially the important question of the ongoing use-fulness of law for Christian faith and practice. Join us!
