Tomorrow: Back to Proverbs 3
1 CommentsTwo weeks ago we learned from Proverbs 3:5-6 about trusting in the Lord with all our hearts. Tomorrow we’re going to study the rest of that section in Proverbs 3, considering how we can practice trusting God.
We also have our third church picnic tomorrow. Thank you to everyone who has been coming out for these. We’re going to have hot dogs and games again. And we’re going to have lots of chairs in both lobbies so you can escape the heat while enjoying fellowship. See you there!

The Next Few Sundays
1 CommentsA word about what’s coming up the next few Sundays:
This Sunday Mark Mitchell continues our “Love Your Neighbor” series, teaching from Luke 14:12-14 about the kind of hospitality that God honors. Mike Bradshaw will lead our singing. We’ll also start memorizing a new hymn and send off the Pastors College Class of 2009.
We’ll take a break from the “Love Your Neighbor” series on June 14, Youth Sunday. That day the 10:31 youth ministry will “take over” both meetings, and Dave Brewer will give the message.
Isaac Hydoski’s text on June 21 will be Matthew 9:9-13. He plans to emphasize that our devotion to God must be demonstrated by mercy towards sinners. Why? Because it’s in keeping with the very definition of the gospel message: a message for sinners!
Finally, on June 28 Joshua Harris will teach from the Parable of the Prodigal Son, looking at what it means to love people who are struggling spiritually.
Much to look forward to and anticipate with faith! See you on Sunday.

Tomorrow: Braden Greer and New Members
0 CommentsTomorrow we will welcome 146 new members into our church. These folks have joined in the last six months, with such a diversity of ages, ethnicities and stories. I can’t wait to welcome them and pray for them with you tomorrow.
Bob Kauflin will lead us in our time of singing to the Lord, including the hymn we’re memorizing this month, “A Mighty Fortress.”
Braden Greer will be preaching from Ephesians 6:13-17 on “Our Armor.” When I asked Braden what he’s excited about in this message, he said, “In preparing this message, I’ve been excited about the preserving power of God’s word—that when it is taught, God’s word preserves our souls, preserves the church. I’ve also been meditating on the idea that the armor of God, detailed in Eph. 6:13-17, is not dependent on our own abilities, physical or mental. It’s God’s armor for each of us, so young or old, strong or weak, the spiritual battlefield is level.”
