At 10:30 a.m. worship this Sunday, July 27, 2008, Tyrone Presbyterians will feature Pastor Norman Huff, soprano soloist Karen Sollenberger Mogle, cantor Deborah Huff Estright, as well as church organist Richard Merryman in a summer service focused on \u201cThe Story of Salvation.\u201d
\nUsing the appointed lectionary reading from Romans 8: 22 to 39, as the bible basis for his meditation, Pastor Huff will bring a message entitled \u201cHe Wouldn\u2019t Let go.\u201d Throughout his homily, Pastor Huff will refer to these comforting words from the Apostle John from Romans 8: \u201cFor I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor height, nor depth, now any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.\u201d
\nOn Sunday, July 27, and then again on Sunday, August 3, Pastor Huff will serve as guest preacher during the two weeks that Tyrone Presbyterian pastor and Epworth Manor chaplain Reverend Mark Liller travels to Germany on a journey sponsored by the Church of the Brethren. A retired Methodist minister who resides with his wife Anna Mae Huff in Epworth Manor Apartments, Reverend Huff presently serves as the interim minister of Lower Spruce Creek Presbyterian Church.
\nAlong with guest pastor Norman Huff, Mrs. Karen Sollenberger Mogle will serve as guest soprano soloist at Tyrone Presbyterian Church this coming Sunday. Mrs. Mogle will present two contemporary Christian songs. A 1970 graduate of Williamsburg Area High School, for the past 30 years, Mrs. Mogle has served as staff assistant in Penn State\u2019s College of Education. Across the years, Mrs. Mogle has worked as a singer, a youth choir leader, and an accompanist at both Church of the Good Shepherd and Tyrone\u2019s Grace Baptist Church. Mrs. Mogle and her husband Timothy have two grown daughters. They reside along Highland Drive in Tyrone.
\nIn addition to Mrs. Mogle, guest cantor (song leader) Deborah Huff Estright will lead the audience in Stephen Starke and Bruce Becker\u2019s 1993 hymn masterpiece entitled, \u201cThe Tree of Life, With Every Good.\u201d
\nIn their 1993 hymn, Starke and Becker begin the Story of Salvation with a the tree of life in the Garden of Eden. Eventually, that garden tree evolves into the lonely tree on the Hill of Calvary. Ultimately, Calvary\u2019s lonely tree bears the fruit which completes the Story of Salvation.
\nChurch organist Richard Merryman will echo the Story of Salvation when he offers a prelude and an offertory based on American and British Sunday school hymns – \u201cTell Me the Story of Jesus,\u201d and \u201cI Love to Tell the Story.\u201d With child-like lyrics, the first hymn, by Fanny Crosby, describes the birth, temptation, ministry, rejection, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ, as it unfolds in the gospel story of salvation. The second hymn outlines the duty of Christians to \u201ctell the old, old story of Jesus and his love,\u201d to ever one, in every time, in every place.
\nAs the days of summer march onward, Tyrone Presbyterians urge the citizens of this community to join them at 10:30 a.m. this Sunday, July 27, 2008, as they hear anew the Story of Salvation, in the eloquent words of Starke and Becker\u2019s recent hymn: \u201cWhat mercy God showed to our race, a plan of rescue by his grace\/In sending one from woman\u2019s seed, the one to fill our greatest need\/For on a tree uplifted high, God\u2019s only son for sin would die\/Would drink the cup of scorn and dread, to crush the ancient serpent\u2019s head\/Now from that tree of Jesus shame, flows life eternal in his name\/For all who trust, and will believe, salvation\u2019s living fruit receive\/And of this fruit, so pure and sweet, the Lord invites the world to eat\/To find within this cross of wood, the tree of life, with every good.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
