Dear RPRC family,
Today’s letter comes from our beloved Mary Wisner…
Today’s lesson in Job has us looking at God as worthy. Job must have realized this even before all his troubles as he is described in the first verse as “fearing God.” Job offers sacrifices to God. The worst of the worst happened to Job. His wife suggested to make a quick end of his life and misery by denouncing God. And yet he never does. His worship was to One who was worthy.

I continue the search for what the book of Job teaches us about God. So far, we have discovered our God is our defender against the wily accuser. He is infinitely patient and unexplainable. Today we learn that He is ever present.
Dear Rose Park,
According to a 2021 Pew Research Report, roughly a quarter of the American population hadn’t read a book (printed, audio, or electronic) in the past year. I imagine many of us recognize the importance of reading. We know it helps our minds, vocabularies, and worldviews to grow. We know how reading to children helps benefit the development of their brains and social skills. We also know, as Christians, that we should be reading our bibles more.

Dear Rose Park Family,
True confession. I may choose a different aisle, so I don’t have to follow whiny children or an irritable parent. Don’t get me wrong. I love children just not when they whine. I feel for irritable parents having to take them to the store.
Dear Rose Park,
This past Sunday, we had the great joy of celebrating the sacrament of the Lord’s Supper around the communion table. During our time of worship though, immediately prior to coming to the table, my five-year-old daughter pulled on my shirt sleeve and asked me a question that I’ve been thinking about ever since.
Dear Rose Park,
This past Monday, I went on a field trip with Simon’s first grade class. A few minutes after 9:00am, the three first grade teachers, along with an army of volunteers, led their students on a short walk to the north branch of Herrick District Library on Riley St. It was a beautiful morning and a lovely walk. Simon introduced me to a few of his friends who tried to inform me about a video game called Minecraft (I still have no idea what it is). As we sat down in the gathering area of the library and were introduced to the librarians, I was reminded of Acts 2 and thought of you all.
