Here’s what is happening at Salem
June 21, 2018
John Newton (not the falling apple on the head guy) was a British sailor in the mid 18th century. He served as the captain of slave ships. A series of events led to his conversion to evangelical Christianity. He gave up to slave trade and was eventually ordained as a priest in the Church of England.
In addition to being a priest, Newton was a poet and wrote many well-known hymns, the best know of which is “Amazing Grace”. The first lines of the hymn, “Amazing grace! How sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me” and the entire hymn are Newton’s spiritual autobiography in verse.
In this Sunday’s Gospel lesson, St John tells us of this saving grace and of the Word becoming flesh and living amoung us, full of grace and truth. We have all received grace upon grace.
This Sunday worship service is at 9:30. Coffee hour is at 10:30.
