FUMC-BA News this Week! January 26, 2014
This Week! Demetrius, the Silversmith
When Paul arrived in Ephesus, he began to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ, as he always did. But a local silversmith was concerned: if people turned to Jesus, they might stop buying his silver idols of the goddess Artemis. So he had Paul arrested and did everything possible to silence him. Come next Sunday as we study the silversmith Demetrius and ask, “is Jesus bad for business?”
Hamburgers and Hot Dogs will be served
@ 11:00 am in Fellowship Hall
The meat and condiments will be supplied.
Please bring a dish to share.
