What if you were selected out of the entire world to partner with a group of other people to represent the single most important person on the planet, and entrusted with a message about Him that revealed the most significant and life transforming secrets in the entire universe, and charged with the responsibility of helping each other live lives that accurately portrays what He is like, and take the message He gave you out to people who desperately need it?
Now read that again, but take the what if and the question mark out.
It’s a huge privilege and responsibility to be a local church. Once every few months we get together for a special time of talking about what God’s doing in the church and what we’re hoping He will do. We call these opportunities, members meetings. Sometimes we talk about things that are obviously exciting. Sometimes we talk about things that seem more ordinary. But regardless of what we talk about exactly, these meetings are important for each and every single one of you, because they are simple ways for us to help each other try to more faithfully fulfill the great mission God’s given us.
Plus, it’s Father’s Day this Sunday. And we get to study Luke. And then we have communion and a communion meal afterward. God is really, really good.
– Joshua
For the younger children this Sunday, you can have them listen for the word: “joy”. To encourage them, Marda will have some treats afterward.
Communion and Church Lunch. This Sunday, we’ll remember Jesus’ death in our place by partaking of the Lord’s Supper. We will also enjoy church lunch together (fried chicken). While everyone is invited to stay for lunch, please do not partake of the Lord’s Supper if you are not a believer walking in obedience to Him.
Missions Offering. This Sunday, there will be a special offering for the Alaska Service Team. These funds will go towards the team ministry expenses while serving at the camp in Alaska.
