What's Happening This Week

Here’s What’s Happening at Salem

October 17, 2019

Do you remember the final scenes in “Star Wars: Return of the Jedi”? The Ewoks and rebel forces dancing around the bonfires. The joyous crowds on the different planets.

Or the final scenes of the Jackie Chan movie “Kung Fu Yoga”? Where the adversaries who had just been fighting a few scenes earlier come upon a large, gold statue of Shiva and break out dancing.

The Star Wars scenes might be believable. Celebrations happening when the oppressive empire is other thrown and the death star destroyed. The Kung Fu Yoga scene is harder to believe.

But what about a different scene. Your country has been at war with a larger and more powerful neighbor. Your king and his heir were killed in battle. Your new king is someone who previously was a young shepherd boy. Your enemies stole your most sacred object, returning it only after a series of calamities happened to them. Now for the last twenty years is as been in someone’s house.

The king has decided to return the object to the capital. Do you think there will be dancing and celebrating? Come this Sunday an hear what there was.

This Sunday worship service is at 9:30. Coffee hour is at 10:30.
