Message From Pastor Bob Huisman

9:30 AM Morning Worship
In this Easter season, we continue to proclaim,
Christ is Risen!  He is Risen Indeed!
This Sunday, we thank God for our boys club ministry – Cadets.  Our focus will be on their theme for the year, “Rooted and Grounded” from Ephesians 3:17-18.  If you could only pray one prayer for a friend, what would you pray?  Paul’s example will help us answer that question.  Our Cadet leaders and participants will help lead us in worship and thanksgiving.

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 – Evening Worship
We begin a new series this Sunday evening entitled The Big Ten – refreshing our understanding of the Ten Commandments as teachers of sin and rules of gratitude.  We will seek to discover how the words of Jesus affect our understanding of the Law.  This week we will focus on the first commandment and the words of Exodus 20,
And God spoke all these words: “I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery.“You shall have no other gods before me.”

The reflections of the Heidelberg Catechism will help inform our study.


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
