WHAT IS TEXT IN CHURCH?<br />
Text in Church is a computer program that lets us keep in touch with you via a<br />
text versus an email. We use Text In Church to communicate last minute things,<br />
such as snow closures or prompts for prayer. We text every Saturday to let you<br />
know a little about the message for the weekend. Want to stay in touch with us<br />
via text? All you have to do is text the word CONNECT to (724) 246-6816.<br />

THIS WEEKEND’S SCRIPTURE: PHILIPPIANS 2:1-11<br />
The Christ Hymn has been referred to as something all of us should aspire to<br />
as people who follow Jesus - <strong>and</strong> rightly so. But when you look a little closer<br />
at it, Paul is saying the attitudes depicted in the hymn are the attitudes that<br />
are to govern “RELATIONSHIPS:” “In your relationships with one another, have<br />
the same mindset as Christ Jesus...” he says in verse 5. Of course Paul is writing<br />
to the CHURCH at Philippi, so he is talking about the relationships among the<br />
church members - plenty of bridges can be built between First Church Philippi<br />
<strong>and</strong> First Church Butler - :wink:. But I think Paul would widen that application to<br />
all relationships if he were asked: “your relationships with one another” could<br />
easily apply to any relationship we find ourselves in. The more places our living<br />
mirrors that of Christ, the more present <strong>and</strong> visible his kingdom will be on earth<br />
as it is in heaven.<br />
