Easter is coming next month! We hope you, your family, and your neighbors can join us at Armstrong Student Center for this year's Easter service at 10:30 a.m.!
Get involved in this celebration as we enjoy God’s love for the nations and go cross-cultural! Consider inviting friends and neighbors from different cultures to experience our community and God's love for them. Sign-up here to participate or to serve at the event! Please pray that our efforts become a small part of fulfilling these words in Isaiah: “And the foreigners who join themselves to the LORD, to minister to him, to love the name of the LORD, and to be his servants...these I will bring to my holy mountain, and make them joyful in my house of prayer...for my house shall be called a house of prayer for all peoples” (Isaiah 56:6-7, ESV).
Join us this Sunday as we celebrate the Lord’s Table together and begin our new sermon series through the book of Proverbs. Pastor Emanuel will be preaching through Proverbs 1:1-7 and as always, we encourage you to read ahead in preparation for Sunday’s message. For those interested, discussion questions for the passage are available here.
Members, please join us after second service on May 11th to vote on the candidacy of Justin Kailer as an elder. Proxy ballots are available in the Next Steps area, if you are unable to attend this meeting.
This Sunday, on May 18th, we will begin a one-service schedule for the summer. We hope you can join us at 10:30am! Children's Ministry will be offering classes in May, July, and August. Classes will be available for children in nursery through 3rd grade. In the hope of giving our Children's Ministry volunteers rest, there will be no classes offered in June. Club 45 and Student Ministry will not offer Sunday classes through the summer.
This Sunday, we will continue studying Proverbs as elder, Jim Samland, takes us through two difficult passages. We will consider whether Proverbs 22:26 is a promise or a general principle and if verses 4 and 5 of Proverbs 26 contradict each other. The aim is to know how to understand difficult passages and connect the fear of the Lord with understanding. And don’t forget to keep memorizing Proverbs 1:7!
