Week 28 of 52 Hebrew Words Every Christian Should Know by Dave Adamson: “Hineni” = Here I am. This is a declaration of submission to God and his calling. Abraham, Moses, Samuel and Isaiah all had memorable “Here I am” scenes. Over the years, I have voiced this posture in a variety of ways: “Put me in, Coach” or “Reporting for duty” or simply “Yes, Lord.” And if you are not sure what you are saying “Yes” to, I think that might be even better. I suggest that you buckle up for a surprising adventure.
MCC News: This is the first summer since 2003 that Melbourne Community Church has not had a baptism beach party. We will not schedule an event this year, but we can still baptize. Please let me know if you would like to talk about baptism, and I will follow up.
Please join us for worship this weekend, however you can. We are now able to offer the Lord’s Supper at the end of our live service. That service begins at 9:00 AM, and it is live streamed on our YouTube channel.
A few weeks ago we started a “virtual foyer” Zoom meeting that has allowed our virtual attenders to connect briefly after the worship service. Here are some highlights/lowlights: I have been excited to see people from Argentina to South Dakota, and mostly MCC locals. It did not work so well when I tried to host a Zoom meeting from the passenger’s seat of our car on the way up I-95. I will stay in one place this week. Here is the link to that zoom meeting: https://us02web.zoom.us/s/82721340958#success
