A Savior who meets us in our need and brings new life.
Matthew 9:9–13, 18–26 (Revised Standard Version)
The Call of Matthew and the Healing of the Girl and the Woman with the Hemorrhage
9 As Jesus passed on from there, he saw a man called Matthew sitting at the tax office; and he said to him, “Follow me.” And he rose and followed him.
10 And as he sat at table in the house, behold, many tax collectors and sinners came and sat down with Jesus and his disciples.
11 And when the Pharisees saw this, they said to his disciples, “Why does your teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?”
12 But when he heard it, he said, “Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick.
13 Go and learn what this means, ‘I desire mercy, and not sacrifice.’ For I came not to call the righteous, but sinners.”
18 While he was thus speaking to them, behold, a ruler came in and knelt before him, saying, “My daughter has just died; but come and lay your hand on her, and she will live.”
19 And Jesus rose and followed him, with his disciples.
20 And behold, a woman who had suffered from a hemorrhage for twelve years came up behind him and touched the fringe of his garment;
21 for she said to herself, “If I only touch his garment, I shall be made well.”
22 Jesus turned, and seeing her he said, “Take heart, daughter; your faith has made you well.” And instantly the woman was made well.
The Beginning of Cross of Christ
The photo to the left was donated by Rosaaen Skifton Olson. Rosaaen and I remember this scene well because for a few years, this project monopolized many, of what would eventually be, Cross of Christ members lives. As we do extensive maintenance on our treasured stain glass windows, it seems like a good time to say thanks to those folks who made this beautiful building a reality.
We raised $107,000 to redo the windows. The total cost of the original building was $209,805.20. The groundbreaking took place April 26, 1959, and the dedication was August 28, 1960. Quite an accomplishment for a small congregation!
