( D i s c i p l e s o f C h r i s t ) ARCC NEWS January 31, 2018 Volume 43, Issue 5 573.335.3422 www.abbeyroadchristianchurch.com Notes from the Road God is still speaking! Another of those ways, random as it can seem, difficult of discernment, is in chance and circumstance. I have sometimes battered stubbornly at closed doors, convinced that the path to God s will lay through them, to find that a door in another direction sprang open. And, across the threshold, blessing unfolded. Does God speak through such synchronicity? Faith decides. What I m listening to: As I said at the end of yesterday s sermon, I m currently captured by Mavis Staples Action, ( https:// www.youtube.com/watch?v=dtjfzi_zfbi ). Praise God from whom Grandmothers flow. Doug Disciples Fast Track: New Testament On Sunday, February 4, the Fast Track class will meet in the Green Room to discuss Paul s letter to the Galatians.
