Message From Pastor Bob Huisman

9:30 AM Morning Worship
This Sunday, we gather to worship our Triune God, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.  We begin a new series: Living the Good Life: Old Testament Wisdom and Poetry.  For a few weeks, we will explore the books of Proverbs and Ecclesiastes.  This week, we start with Proverbs 1:1-7 and 3:1-8.  

Reminder: Bring a non-perishable food item for those living with hunger or food insecurity.   Place it on the table in the Fellowship Room.

5:00 PM – Evening Worship
At our evening worship gathering, we will worship God and be led musically by Craig and Lisa Cunningham and Lisa’s sisters – affectionately thought of as the “Terhaar Sisters”.
Josiah Huisman, son of Pastor Bob and Lisa, will lead us with a message from 2 Corinthians 5.  This will be Josiah’s Classical Examination Sermon with two sermon evaluators present at our worship service.  Josiah will be examined biblically, theologically and pastorally at a Classis Grandville meeting this Thursday, August 15 at 6:00 PM at Heritage.  Guests are welcome.  Pending a favorable examination, Josiah will be ordained as a Minister of the Word in the CRC and loaned to First RCA in Zeeland as their Pastor of Discipleship on Sunday morning, September 15.


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
