Message From Pastor Bob Huisman

Friends,

It sure was nice to have a January thaw!  I was so thankful to see grass and clear roads for a couple of days.

This Sunday we begin a new series in the morning and another new series in the evening.

At 9:30am, for the next five Sundays, we will explore the Steps of Faith on our journey with God.  The first step, after believing in Jesus, is learning to walk in truth instead of deception.  The Apostle John says, “I have no greater joy than to hear that my children are walking in the truth.” 3 John 4.

We will also celebrate the Lord’s Supper…breaking bread…sharing the cup.

Thanks be to God for His great love for us and praise be to Christ our Savior who guarantees our forgiveness and gives us new life!

(Invitation: Come to prayer room following any morning worship service where prayer volunteers are ready to listen and to pray for you and the concerns on your heart)

At 5:00pm, we begin 40 Days of Prayer (January 15-February 23).  Come and discover how your phone can help grow your relationship with God.  You will be encouraged to set a personal goal for the next 40 days that could be your best new year’s resolution ever.  Our Scripture text will be John 15.

As the Spirit prompts, invite a friend to join you on Sunday to hear God’s good news in the morning and/or to grow in your communication with God in the evening…or both.
