9:30 AM Sunday Morning Worship
Hurt, Hope, and Healing
This Sunday we open God’s word to Lamentations 3 and look closely at how hope and hurt co-exist in life and the Scriptures. Larry Schout, a friend of Pastor Bob, will share his testimony of God’s grace and mercy during the past 2 years during a season of multiple losses and grief that include the death of Larry’s wife, son, and mother.
Reminder: Bring a non-perishable food item for the food distribution ministry with our friends and neighbors at Byron Village. Place it on the table in the Fellowship Room.
5:00 PM Sunday Evening Worship
Paul’s Letter to the Romans: The Fifth Gospel
“Do not conform to the pattern of this world but be transformed by the renewing of your mind” (Romans 12:2). We will look to the life of Daniel in the Old Testament (Daniel 1) as an illustration of the truth of Romans 12:2.
Thanksgiving Day Worship
Ebenezer Stone Testimonies
8:00-9:30 – Continental Breakfast
9:30 – Celebration of the Lord’s Supper, Ebenezer Stone Testimonies
On Thanksgiving Day, we will gather for worship at 9:30 AM.
There will be time to share “Ebenezer Stone” words of thanksgiving for God’s provision and faithfulness to us during the past year. The Ebenezer part of the thankfulness is based on the Scripture verse from I Samuel 7:12 where it reads, Then Samuel took a stone and set it up between Mizpah and Shen. He named it Ebenezer, saying,
“Thus far the Lord has helped us.”Would you consider offering a word of thanks to God during our worship service?
Testimonies of thanks can be as short as 20 seconds and as long as a couple of minutes. I realize that “public speaking” is not for everyone. There is absolutely no obligation to participate. However, if God prompts you, I am confident that our community will be blessed to hear your testimony of God’s faithfulness thus far.
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
