Message From Pastor Bob Huisman

9:30 AM Sunday Morning Worship

Resisting God
Invite a friend to join us for part 1 of our Old Testament Overview Series starting this Sunday with Moses and the Burning Bush from Exodus 3.   We will also celebrate the sacrament of the Lord’s Supper as part of Worldwide Communion Sunday.  Selah Empowers will share a ministry update.

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
Practicing the Way of Jesus – How do we find rest for our souls in a digital age and consumeristic culture where the human condition is prone to restlessness?  For the next 5 years, for three or four Sunday evenings in the months of October and February, we will learn nine spiritual practices/disciplines as a community.  In October, we start with the practice/discipline of Sabbath with the help of teaching from practicingtheway.org.  You can plan on walking away with a challenge to put into practice one, two, or three practices that will help your soul find rest in God.  Save the dates: October 1, 8, and 15 at 5:00 PM.  To download the Companion Guide click HERE.  A hard copy will be available at our in-person worship gathering.

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
