Just to let you know one of our college youth, Katherine Kneese, has written a blog post that I find to be very insightful and goes along with our theme this year of God in the Center. Give it a look. https://eoverby.wordpress.com/
Quote: "That is how it happens, that is where relationships are found. Focusing and centering everything we do on Christ and watching as everything else beautifully falls into place."
Today marks the 14th anniversary of the terrorist attack that shocked our nation. I don't think any of us will forget the images of the destruction of the World Trade Center and Pentagon. Laurie and I have shared many times our story of arriving in Junction on September 11, 2001. For us that day not only is a day to remember solemnly but it is also a day that we celebrate becoming part of this great community and church family. We love you all and are thankful that God called us to be here, and we are thankful for the work of the Pastor Nominating Committee that found us.

Scripture for Sunday
Genesis 1:26-28 (ESV)
Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, after our likeness. And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over the livestock and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth." [27] So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them. [28] And God blessed them. And God said to them, "Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over every living thing that moves on the earth."
Genesis 2:4-9 (ESV)
These are the generations of the heavens and the earth when they were created, in the day that the Lord God made the earth and the heavens. [5] When no bush of the field was yet in the land and no small plant of the field had yet sprung up—for the Lord God had not caused it to rain on the land, and there was no man to work the ground, [6] and a mist was going up from the land and was watering the whole face of the ground— [7] then the Lord God formed the man of dust from the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living creature. [8] And the Lord God planted a garden in Eden, in the east, and there he put the man whom he had formed. [9] And out of the ground the Lord God made to spring up every tree that is pleasant to the sight and good for food. The tree of life was in the midst of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.
Genesis 2:16-23 (ESV)
And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, "You may surely eat of every tree of the garden, [17] but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die." [18] Then the Lord God said, "It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a helper fit for him." [19] So out of the ground the Lord God formed every beast of the field and every bird of the heavens and brought them to the man to see what he would call them. And whatever the man called every living creature, that was its name. [20] The man gave names to all livestock and to the birds of the heavens and to every beast of the field. But for Adam there was not found a helper fit for him. [21] So the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon the man, and while he slept took one of his ribs and closed up its place with flesh. [22] And the rib that the Lord God had taken from the man he made into a woman and brought her to the man. [23] Then the man said, "This at last is bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man."
