These past several weekends have brought us on a wonderful journey through the Sermon on the Mount. This past weekend we continued that journey as Pastor Shelly gave us some wonderful new insights into those old, but ever new, words of Jesus. In telling us about turning the other cheek, going the extra mile and loving our enemies, Jesus shows us a way in which violence and hatred can be met in a way which neither perpetuates those things nor succombs to them, but which rather values justice and honors all people. This is yet another example of how the Christian life is always a work in progress.
As this week unfolds, and as we grow into the new life that Jesus brought and continues to bring into our world, here are some events and activities that you might want to be a part of.
Our Wednesday suppers continue at 6pm. Throughout the week items will be gathered for our WELCA "Grandma's Attic" sale this coming Saturday, Feb.26. Proceeds go to local charities. Next weekend, we will be receiving new members at all three services. This is a wonderful, gifted group of people who have come to us from within our community, from South Florida and from a number of northern states. Be sure to offer these folks a warm welcome. On Sunday evening, from 5-8pm, the Sunshine Physical Therapy Clinic will be holding their annual "Founders and Friends" event at which Pastor Jack will be the honored guest. The dinner is $35 and will be at the Heritage Center. Call 772-562-6877 for more information.
Our Savior's building plans are moving ahead quickly. Best case scenario is that the plans and financial gifts all come together so that construction can begin after Easter and be finished for our 50th Anniversary celebration late next Fall. These are exciting times! Be watching for more information and be thinking and praying about how you can be a part of this.

Finally, occasionally throughout the year you might see a big motor home parked in our field (which has been there again recently). On the side it says "SheaLaurel". In case you were wondering, this motor home belongs to one of the most talented families you will ever come across. This is Tom and Janet Burke's daughter and her family, who travel throughout the country (and the world) making beautiful music and bringing joy where ever they go. Below is some information about an upcoming performance of "Irish Music and Dance" at the Vero Beach Performing Art Center on Sunday March 13. If you haven't seen and heard these talented folks, here is a wonderful opportunity to do so. (In addition to the information below, check out their website for more information about them and other performances.)
