For the Nations By: Rose Tisdale

At the Wycliffe Discovery Center in Orlando, Florida, there is a room

called “The Tower”. When you first walk in this room, it is dark and

only voices can be heard. Slowly, a light is projected on individual

faces and stories that speak of the transforming power of the Word

of God are shared from people all over the globe.

One story stood out to me. A woman shared that before God’s Word

was translated into her mother tongue, hearing the Scriptures was

like “eating a banana with the skin still on.” You may get some

nourishment, she said, but it will not taste good and you won’t want more. When she read God’s

Word in her own language, it was like eating a peeled banana. “So tasty!”, she said.

This spoke so loudly of the great need for Bible translation so that every tribe, nation, and tongue

may read God’s Word and hear His love for them in the language that they know best. We can read

statistics all day long, but when we hear stories like these, the need becomes more of a reality.

I believe that translating God's Word for all people's plays a huge role in the Great Commission. In

Matthew 28: 19, Jesus tells His disciples to go and make disciples of all nations, (people groups). We

can all play a role in bringing God's Word to the Bibleless. A plaque in the Discovery Center reads

“No one should have to learn another language to hear and read God’s Word.” Together, let's "peel

the banana" of God's Word so that all peoples may know Him as Savior!

As a new Wycliffe member, my assignment will be to teach High School biology at the Rain Forest

International School, located in Yaoundé, Cameroon. This school provides a quality education for

the children of Bible translators and other missionaries. My service will free parents to continue the

work God has called them to as their children are being well educated and nurtured. I am so

thankful for God’s direction and peace as He has lead me in this new journey, and I am excited to

share this call with all my friends and family. Please contact me about how you can be a part of my

ministry with Wycliffe!

GENERAL INFORMATION FOR THIS MORNING

Welcome to St. Paul’s! We hope to create an atmosphere in which everyone feels welcomed with open arms. Here is the information that you need to know for a successful morning of worship and Sunday School:

Worship as a Family (all ages): At St. Paul’s we encourage families to worship together on Sunday mornings, therefore children in third grade and older will remain with their parents throughout the service. If you or your children are not comfortable with this, please know that we understand and recognize that it might take time to develop the routine. We’re here to help, so don’t hesitate to ask a priest about successful family worship. Kids Church (ages 3 –7) Sign-in for Kid’s Church will be in St. Paul’s Central of Doar Hall. Sign them in before service starts with Mrs. Shannon or the volunteer. Children will remain in worship with their parents for the first two songs. Mrs. Shannon will take the children to Kid’s church after the Kyrie. Pick-up for children's church will be different from the past. Mrs. Shannon will bring the children to St. Paul's Central during the offertory. At that time parents please come to the doors and show your security tag to pick your child up. Children will be seated in their age groups for convenience. For the Church Building: Check-in will be in Doar Hall. A volunteer will walk them over to the C/Y Building during after the Gospel reading. The same volunteer will bring them back to pick up before the peace. Nursery check-in will remain in the C/Y Building at the nursery. Once they enter the Worship Center they will find lots of friendly faces welcoming them along with activity centers that will start their lesson time. They will continue with these until the sermons have ended:

If you are attending the Church building service, please pick your child up at the end of the sermon. If you are attending the Doar Hall service, please look for your child entering the sanctuary and wave to them so they can find you.

Communion—Anyone baptized in the Christian faith is welcome to receive communion at St. Paul’s. Please note: The Communion elements consist of real wine and bread or wafers containing wheat. Please ask the bread server for gluten free wafers. Receiving one or the other of the elements is considered participating as fully in the Eucharist as anyone who receives both. All guests are invited to visit our Welcome Table after the service today to receive a gift and information about St. Paul’s. Giving—Cash and checks may be placed in the offering plates. We have electronic giving centers in Doar Hall for debit and credit cards. St. Paul’s does not want anyone to incur debt in order to give to the Lord. We offer the electronic giving centers as a convenience. Giving Envelopes—are available for your convenience. You may pick up a pack in the church office, in the back of Doar Hall, or the Church Building.
