Message From Pastor Bob Huisman

Sunday at 9:30 AM-Gathering Online for Worship:
This Sunday, we turn our hearts to Luke 11 and return to our series on Sacred Rhythms.  We explore the discipline of Prayer and join our hearts with Jesus’ disciples who asked, “Lord, teach us to pray”.  What does it look like to “want a life of greater, deeper, truer prayer” (Archbishop Tait)?
We will conclude our gathering to worship our great God with a celebration of the sacrament of the Lord’s Supper.  Prepare your communion elements at home and prepare your hearts to receive an assurance of your salvation in Jesus Christ our Lord.

May God go before you to lead you and behind you to protect you,
May God go beneath you to support you and beside you to befriend you.
Do not be afraid.
May the blessing of God the Father, Jesus the Son, and Holy Spirit
be upon you.  Amen.
