Good News: Scott Sherrill a Hometown Hero

August 30, 2010, People of St. Paul's (41), In the News (Richmond) (74)

Posted by Kimberly Allen

The good news keeps on coming!  Last week, we shared this moment in the lives of parishioner Jamie Miller and his parents. Today, we highlight Scott Sherrill. 

This summer, the law firm of Allen & Allen recognized Scott as one of 100 Hometown Heroes that make Virginia a great place to live. Read why below:

Scott SherrillHometown Hero - Scott Sherrill The day does not end for Scott, a popular teacher at Henrico High School, when the school bell rings. In fact, it's just beginning. Scott is known for his one-on-one involvement with students after school, support of athletic programs, and going the extra mile, as evidenced by recently helping a student without health insurance obtain dental care. 

Here at St. Paul's, Scott is also known for his active involvement with family ministries and this summer made a regular appearance at our Emmaus Family Days with his children, and helped out with the Welcome Committee's Nametag Stuffing parties in preparation for Homecoming Sunday on September 12.

Last Wednesday, August 25, Scott and the other heroes were recognized during the Richmond Squirrels game at The Diamond. Pictured below, Scott with one of his students at the game.

Thank you, Scott, for all that you do!

SERMONS

To Bethlehem; to Bethlehem, we have come.

And, of course, this Christmas, tonight, and tomorrow, new memories are being made; a Carol sung, pure and exquisite; an old friend; warm, endearing words exchanged; a first Christmas for a new grandbaby; a candle lit, a face aglow, eyes agleam.

The Pointer’s Point

More than fifty times, in his published writings, Barth refers to the Grunewald image; and, indeed, usually, it is precisely in reference to John,  and John’s relation to the figure of Christ; as he points.
Barth (and Grunewald before him) understood John’s sole purpose to be to serve as a pointer to Christ, a reference to Christ, a witness to Christ.

Keep Alert, Awake, and Watchful

On any given day, there are those things that would get our attention; those things that would bring fresh perspective; those things would remind us of what is most important, what is most true. If, that is, if we but notice. We never know when those things, those experiences, those people might come. And so it has always been, so it has always been.

The Rule of 72

The Rule of 72, they call it.  It’s a rule of thumb to figure how long it’ll take to double your money. If you know you can get 5%, on your investment, then you divide 5 into 72 and that tells you: it’ll take roughly 14 and ½ years to double your money. That’s the Rule of 72. Now, sometimes an investor doesn’t want to wait 14 and a ½ years, or however long the Rule of 72 tells you that you have to wait and so increased risks are taken. And sometimes you win, and sometimes you loose.

Walk the Way of a Servant

We all want, in the words of St. Paul, to “lead a life worthy of God.” A life worthy of God. Un-like the lives of the false prophets, of Micah’s day, or the false teachers of Jesus’ day, the scribes and the Pharisees, teachers of the law. Their lives are un-worthy of God, we are told, in no uncertain terms. In their hypocrisy, they serve, not God, not God’s people, but themselves.
