This weekend I will have the privilege of sharing the sermon of a lifetime with you. I am on a series of ten greatpassages from one of the most revolutionary books in the Bible - the book of Romans! Martin Luther's commentary on Romans, John Calvin's commentary on Romans, John Wesley's sermons on Romans, Karl Barth, and Martin Loyd Jones- - - they all shook the world! This book has caused reformation and counter-reformation, enlightenment and great awakenings! But most of all it is famous for beginning revival. I have entitled my sermon series “Attacking the World with Arms Wide Open!”
Saturday night service, July 3rd, will have a very special sermon all of its own; and I hope you bring your children to it, because as part of my sermon I want to sit down and tell them the story of the United States of America.
Sunday, July 4th at 9am we are going to honor those who have served in the military by having them stand during a choir song. I am also going to interview the parents of a hero who is serving in the military right now.
Sunday, July 4th at 11am will be one of our four yearly “Festival Services” and will include our special guest, Gary Del Rosario! Gary is a wonderful tenor from the Seattle Opera and he will be singing with the choir and will sing some stirring patriotic hymns. My dad, Dr. Dale White, and Pastor Naomi, have planned a soul-stirring, sacredcelebration. We have invited all of our congregations to rally together and stand hand-in-hand representing all ourdiversity and the Good News of Jesus Christ! So you can expect to worship with our Hispanic, Brazilian, Egyptian, and Korean congregations, and everyone to take part in the service. This will also be my opportunity to deliver the sermon of my life and the sacred dedication of the “honor flags” will set off fireworks in your soul!
Right after the 11am service we are going to have one of our relaxing old-fashioned, family picnics right on ourcampus (I hope that everyone realizes how important the 11am service is and that no one misses it to set up for the 4th of July picnic.) At the picnic we will have a live band and dancing (which is a Washington Cathedral tradition)- - - dads and daughters dancing away, along with everyone else, just having a good old time! We will have basketball, soccer, softball, swimming, a kid’s carnival with a clown and bouncy house, and- - - some of the most delicioushamburgers and hot dogs that you have ever enjoyed! The picnic will be from 12:30 to 4pm and will be a great time to make new and deeper friendships at Washington Cathedral.
This would be a great opportunity to bring a friend. Your invitation could be a life-changing moment for someone.
Remember, the 4th of July is not just another day! Let’s not take the freedoms that we are blessed with in the United States for granted. If we don't teach our children to appreciate them, they won't last many generations.
Your friend for the rest of my life,
Pastor Tim White
