SUNDAY SCHOOL SUNDAY, JUNE 24TH BRILL CHAPEL 9:30 AM REAPING GOD'S JUSTICE Luke 16:20-26 Noblesse Oblige?

Western culture has long emphasized that those of greater wealth have a duty to be generous with those less well off. The French phrase noblesse oblige has been used for centuries to refer to this sense of obligation. The phrase means ”nobility obliges.” It expressed the idea that those with privilege are obligated to be generous with those less privileged.

We commonly hear people express this sense of obligation. They say that they must “give back” because they have been blessed beyond what they need or want. They want to “pay forward” what they have received, to show themselves grateful for their abundance.

These are virtuous impulses. We encourage them, and we admire them. But from the perspective of the gospel of Jesus, some adjustment is required. Jesus showed his followers that godly generosity springs not simply from our realization that we are abundantly blessed, but from our sense of our own need. The idea of noblesse oblige may permit me to think of myself inappropriately or as different from the person in need. The gospel in general, and in this text in particular, reveals however, that I am really in the same position as the person in need.

Come early (9:15 am) to hear our own Fretta Moore bless us with her piano artistry. Jim West will lead us in this lesson.

VESPERS THURSDAY, JUNE 14TH 3:30 PM BRILL CHAPEL Vespers speaker will be Rev. Trina Bose-North, Senior Pastor, Crown Heights United Methodist Church, OKC.

VESPERS THURSDAY, JUNE 28TH 3:30 PM BRILL CHAPEL Vespers speaker will be Rev. Dane Lemmons, Pastor at Kremlin United Methodist Church and Professional Counselor, Stillwater Drug Court.

SUMMER READING OPPORTUNITY

Read the West Book Club: Stranded: A Story of Frontier Survival July 5, 2018 6:00 – 7:15 p.m.

Read the West Book Club meets in July and August. Free to Museum members or with $5 Museum admission at the door. Cash bar and pre-order hors d’oeuvre plates available. Register by July 2. Publications are available in The Museum Store (15% discount for Museum members).

Stranded: A Story of Frontier Survival, a Western Heritage Award winner for Western Novel by Matthew P. Mayo, is based on a true account of 14 year-old Janette Riker who, in the autumn of 1849, travels westward to Oregon Territory with her father and two brothers. She was challenged with blizzards, frostbite, and gnawing hunger and rose to each challenge, relying on herself more than she knew possible. Her only comfort comes in writing in her diary, where she shares her fears, her travails, and her dwindling hopes.

For more information or to register, please click on the link https://bit.ly/2LIBBv4 or visit our website at www.nationalcowboymuseum.org. The West Book Club will also meet on August 2nd for the book LaRose and August 30th for the book Orphan Train.

Please note: Epworth WILL NOT be offering transportation to these meetings.

NOTE FROM DINING SERVICES: Market prices have been steadily increasing on beef tenderloin and have currently been holding at $10.99 per pound. Last month we purchased it for $10.13 per pound. That is an .86 cents per pound price difference. If the market price keeps increasing, we will have no choice but to increase the plate price in both the Redbud and Bistro dining rooms until the price comes back down. Thank you for your understanding and we’ll keep you informed.
