Message From Pastor Bob Huisman

9:30 AM Sunday Morning Worship
Many people today feel like we are walking in darkness.
In fact, some feel like it is a land of the shadow of death.
Those are the same images that the prophet Isaiah used to describe the life of God’s ancient people.  While our circumstances are different, the true Light that shone long ago is the same Light we need today.  We will focus our hearts on Isaiah 9 as we celebrate “Christ the King Sunday” at 9:30 AM this Sunday.

5:00 PM Evening Worship
As we gather to lift up our hearts to God in worship, we will conclude our sermon series, GratitudeX10.  We will wonder if the 10th commandment could be warning us against the sin that is the root of all the other sins by which we are tempted.

Sneak Peek – Thanksgiving Day Worship

Thanksgiving Day Worship will be at 9:30 AM.  Come early for breakfast served by our high school students and fellowship with our church family (8:00-9:30 AM).
Our Thanksgiving Day Worship will include time to share your Ebenezer Stone testimonies of God’s faithfulness during this past year.  You can also submit a video of your testimony of God’s faithfulness and send it to Pastor Bob by this Sunday, November 21 to be included in our Thanksgiving Day Worship Celebration.  (bhuisman@heritagecrc.net or 616.682.7685).  Assistance with recording a video is available as well.
Our time of worship will conclude with a Celebration of the Lord’s Supper.
(Then Samuel took a stone and set it up between Mizpah and Shen, and called its name Ebenezer, saying, “Thus far the Lord has helped us.” I Samuel 7:12)

Thank You for your Gifts, Tithes, and Offerings
Thank you for your generosity to Christ’s Church.  We encourage you to prioritize your local church in your giving because the local church is the bride of Christ, and Jesus is the hope of the world.  We excel in the grace of giving when we honor God with our time, our treasures, and our talents.

Pastor Bob Huisman
Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience. Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you.
And over all these virtues put on love, 
which binds them all together in perfect unity.  Colossians 3:12-14
