You Are Made For Glory

Made for Glory by Vicki Kemper | published on Jun 11, 2022 When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars that you have established; what are human beings that you are mindful of them, mortals that you care for them? Yet you have made them a little lower than God, and crowned them with glory and honor. – Psalm 8:3-5 (NRSV) However you’re feeling today—hopeful or despairing, powerless or inspired, lonely or madly in love—there’s something the psalmist wants you to know. Whatever you’re doing today—marching for an end to gun violence, taking your kids to soccer practice, working a second job to make ends meet, or doing laundry and cleaning house—there’s something I want you to know. You were made for glory. Pleasant Hill Community Church, United Church of Christ, located at 67 Church Drive, Pleasant Hill, TN.

Pastor Houston, the interm Pastor of Pleasant Hill Community Church has announced his Sermon Series for March 6 – April 10 Spirituality and the Twelve Steps. Using Richard Rohr ’s book Breathing Underwater as a foundation, Pastor Houston will lead our thoughts on how “The 12 steps” is a spiritual tool to help in your own personal transformation. “The deepest and most important spiritual lessons I (have) ever learned came from a circle of drunks, fighting desperately not to drink today, whom I initially viewed as low-life, losers, and who ultimately came to be, for me, the oracles of God.

Week 2 of Pleasant Hill Community Church Earth Day Series - Replacing Disposables with Reusables

Image
Replacing disposables with reusables We all have plastic bags, cups and single use items around the house. Let’s take a look at some of the ways we can replace the disposables with reusables. We know that it can seem over-whelming but let’s just look at a couple of easy replacements. It’s important to keep in mind that reusable items take energy and resources to produce as well, so the general rule with reusable is to use them repeatedly and consistently to offset their environmental impact. Paper and plastic drink cups: Paper coffee cups have a plastic coating that makes them unacceptable for recycling and composting, meaning they have to go in the trash. And although plastic cups are recyclable, the plastic cannot be recycled indefinitely and eventually becomes trash. Remember to bring a reusable coffee mug or cup when you get takeout (some places even give you a discount!), or take some extra time and sit down at a café that uses reusable cups. Also, get in the habit of carr...
