A Christmas Memory Became a Tradition

By Kristi Wanamaker, Director of Event Management

  [Jesus] came to a village where a woman named Martha opened her home to him. She had a sister called Mary, who sat at the Lord’s feet listening to what he said. But Martha was distracted by all the preparations that had to be made. She came to him and asked, “Lord, don’t you care that my sister has left me to do the work by myself? Tell her to help me!”  “Martha, Martha,” the Lord answered, “you are worried and upset about many things, but few things are needed—or indeed only one. Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her.

Luke 10: 38-42

It Only Takes a Spark

By Rick Wattman, Director of Communications and Publications

Rick Wattman

One of my favorite holiday memories is of Christmas Eve at the church where my dad was pastor. His duties of leading the community celebration colored our family festivities–meaning the church was always a big part of our Christmas. 

Near the end of the service, after we had sung the familiar carols and heard the Christmas story, the lights would go down in the sanctuary. The candles of the advent wreath provided only a small pool of light, which did little to overcome the darkness where we sat.

Happy 75th Birthday Dead Sea Scrolls

This year, 2022, marks the seventy-fifth anniversary of the first Dead Sea Scroll discoveries in 1947, by some shepherds exploring caves on the northwestern shore of the Dead Sea. Subsequently, an amazing library of hundreds of scrolls and thousands of fragments were uncovered in eleven caves, with texts dating from the third century B.C. to the first century A.D.

Mistaken?

September 21, 2022 By fsisocialmedia

“Right now I find myself lying awake at three in the morning wondering if everything I’ve ever done is wrong.” This was University of Kansas astronomer, Allison Kirkpatrick, describing to the journal Nature how new images from the James Webb Space Telescope have upset theories of galaxy evolution.

What People Are Saying…

FaithSearch Discovery

Although I had been exposed to Christianity all my life, I struggled with so many issues that I couldn't undertstand—or wouldn't accept without understanding. These doubts circled around and around in my mind and made it easy for me to just forget the whole idea of God rather than try to accept what I did ... Read more >>
