SCRIPTURE: ROMANS 14:1-12
SERMON SERIES
A YEAR LONG STUDY OF ROMANS
Dear Church,
In Romans 14, Paul continues with the theme of church unity. This is not understood as “uniformity” but a more radical kind of relationship among believers who lay down their needs for the sake of others in Christian community. He uses two examples of places where the church (particularly Jewish believers and Gentile believers) are divided. In our modern-day churches, we might not be divided over these two particular issues. But we recognize from Paul’s concerns the many ways that Christians can be divided. Let us all at Glen Ellyn Covenant Church never lose sight of our common heritage as brothers and sisters of Christ and mutual members of the family of God.
Join me this Sunday!

BOOKS ON THE MOVE!!!
Thanks to those of you who contributed to and/or prayed for books to support
Tarcisio’s ministries in Zimbabwe!
Theological and other Christian books will be put to good use at the Evangelical Theological College. The books may also help the college move towards accreditation. In another part of Tarcisio’s ministry, children’s books will help the little ones hone their English language skills.
We collected 135 boxes of books at Glen Ellyn Evangelical Covenant Church.
A special ‘thank you’ goes out to Phil Haugen, Mark Jackson, and Bruce Munson who spent an afternoon loading, transporting, and unloading these boxes
(and another 99 boxes from the Wheaton College Library).
The books are now at Tyndale, who graciously agreed to palletize, shrink wrap, and hold for pick-up more than 200 boxes of books.
The journey continues…
