A MESSAGE FROM
PASTOR RICHARD
“All scripture is inspired by God and is useful for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, so that the person of God may be proficient, equipped for every good work”- 2 Timothy 3: 16-17
I am excited to announce that we will resume our COTH Summer Reading Group this year. Over the past couple of summers, we have read some thought-provoking books. The first full summer I was here we read Mere Christianity by CS Lewis which helped us discuss our core beliefs as Christians. Last summer, we read Celebration of Discipline by Richard Foster on the inward and outward spiritual disciplines. This summer, we will be reading Leap Over a Wall by Eugene Peterson on the life of King David. I am really excited to read this book with you.
All of us have heard of King David. Most of us have read parts of his story. David slaying Goliath is as well-known as anything in the Bible. But you may not have read all of his story. In this book, Peterson looks at David’s life in the scriptures, from his calling to his death. The story of David is not a small story. It takes up a large part of the Bible! Because of this, we know more about David than anyone else in the scriptures. We know David’s successes and we know his failures. He is someone we can relate to on a very human level. Peterson does a great job of connecting David’s story to us.
We will meet 3 evenings over the summer at different homes and have dinner together before our discussion: June 25th, July 30th, and August 27th. Even if you can’t make every session, please join us in reading this book. Copies are available for free at the church. Email me at richard@churchofthehills.com to be put on our email list.
 I’m looking forward to another rich discussion with you this summer!
May the Love of God be with you,
Pastor Richard
