Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers.
Ephesians 4:29
_______________________
Fr. Scott's sermon focused on the Epistle Lesson, in particular the words of St. Paul to the Ephesians as found in Chapter 4, verse 29. He pointed out there are many warnings about the 'dangers of the tongue' in both the Old and New Testaments. He warned us about many types of corrupt communications including gossip, indiscretion, self serving flattery, prideful words, rash words, quarrelsome words, and angry words. We should always check if God is present in our conversations and use our words to edify people rather than tear them down.

Thank you Fr. Scott for the thoughtful sermon!

Last Saturday, several of us traveled to Abingdon to participate in an introductory stained glass class at "The Glass Peacock".
Each of us made a sun catcher! The final products included a hummingbird, a fish, an ice cream cone, and two angels! Thank you to Ambler for suggesting and introducing us to the amazing world of stained glass!
