A "Serious Word" for Serious Times
I spoke on peace as part of the Fruit of the Holy Spirit last Sunday. But what do you do when there is no peace?
The prophet Jeremiah called out the leaders of the nation and the prophets for saying “Peace, peace” when there was no peace. There’s a strong lesson in Jeremiah for us today.
Listen in to a more serious than typical devotional this week!
Pastor Jack
We take seriously the Biblical command to be a loving community, so we have a “Benevolence Fund” that we use to help those in our church family with an emergency need. And since we’re a community, we enjoy raising funds for this ministry. We invite you to a pull-porked dinner and auction on February 23 at 5:00 pm. Have something interesting unique you want to auction off? Bring it!
Maybe it is old-fashioned, but since giving to God is an act of worship, we have returned to passing the plate. (We stopped it during the Covid epidemic.) You can give your tithes and offerings in the plate or by using our online portal, whichever is best for you. And please do turn in your prayer requests and questions! We want to help you, pray for you, and assist you in any way we can!
New Sunday Morning Class!
If you have been recently baptized . . . Or if you are new to following Jesus . . . Or if you are new to our church . . . Or if you are “stuck in a spiritual rut” . . . Or if you need a review of spiritual growth principles and you want to want to supercharge your growth as a believer . . .
Whatever your situation, we are adding a new class that will be taught occasionally. The first “Survival Kit” class will be taught by Jon and Kendra Bearup beginning on Sunday, February 16, at 9:45 am. It will last for seven weeks and all are welcome!
