Blessings All,

This Sunday is Reformation Sunday. We generally do not make a big deal of this Sunday — but I thought it might be good to provide a bit of an historical context which I expect will be interesting at the least and maybe even inspiring. We will cover a bit of Christian History leading to the Reformation. We will also recognize the traditions that came together to form our denomination all the way back in 1957.
The scripture passage is Luke 19:1-10 and the sermon title is: “Balancing” something I am having a harder and harder time doing.

I am looking forward to our time together on Sunday.

In Christ,

Gary

Our Regularly Scheduled Sunday Service, in the Sanctuary

Blessings to you all,

This Sunday the texts will be Joel 2:23-32 and Luke 18:9-14 with a sermon entitled: “De-Insulating.” We will receive the Neighbors-In-Need Offering which will extend our mission of assisting people in need in this country and around the world.
The Youth Choir (3rd grade and Up) will be practicing after Sunday School. If you have children that would like to participate in this new offering by Julia Blocksma – please have them join in. They can even invite friends.

Following worship this Sunday there will be a meeting of the Habitat – El Salvador Team. There is still a couple of openings.

Peace and Joy

Gary
