Pastor Je On Vacation

Rev. Alan Griffin is the pastoral emergency contact (agriffin46526@comcast.net).

Familiar Face on Sunday

Benjamin Piper will be preaching for pastor Je the month of July, while he is on vacation. Thank you, Benjamin!

July Worship Team Meeting

There will not be a worship team meeting in July, due pastor Je’s vacation. Meetings will resume in August.

Want to Add Music to the Service?

Summertime and the livin’ is easy… and music is needed! If you have ever wanted to play an instrument or sing (solo or as a group), now is your chance. The congregation is always appreciative of music so do not be afraid to add to worship with your song! Also, if you have a favorite hymn (even if it is not in our hymnal), please email Lisa Hutcheson (or see her at church) and if it is covered under our music license, and fits into the service, she will do her best to include them. Let us all make a joyful noise to Lord!

Saturday Bible Study

Due to pastor Je’s vacation, there will be no Saturday Bible Study in July.

Communion Server Sign-up

 The Communion is one of the two Sacraments in the Reformed Church, and it signifies the union and unity with Jesus Christ our Saviour. We repeatedly remind ourselves of this truth, so we have monthly Communion on the first Sunday of the month. To serve the Communion, we need pastor Je and four elders. If you are an ordained elder and willing to serve, please put your name on the sign-up sheet on the bulletin board in the hallway across the church office. Our next Communion will be Sunday, August 4th.

Voice Actor Needed

Don’t you love hearing the dramatized Scripture Readings during the Sunday Worship Services? You can join the bliss of being part of it. If you are willing, let Neal know before the Worship Service on each Sunday.

Wanna Be on the Visit Team?

The sign-up sheet for August is blank. If you want to help pastor Je visit our home-bound members, please sign up on the bulletin board outside the church office.

Prayer Request?

If you have a prayer request, please contact Phyllis Duff at raduff2@att.net.

Good News?

Do you have something you wish to share with the church family? Sharing good news will double it. Sharing sad news will halve it. Is your child or grandchild excellent? You can boast about them. Contact pastor Je or the church office if you want your story in the weekly Midweek or monthly Newsletter.

101: Thou Shalt Doubt (Sunday, June 12th, 2022)

Image
OT Lesson: Judges 6:33-40 (CEB) Some time later, all the Midianites, Amalekites, and other easterners joined together, came over, and set up camp in the Jezreel Valley. Then the Lord’s spirit came over Gideon, and he sounded the horn and summoned the Abiezrites to follow him. He sent messengers into all of Manasseh, and they were also summoned to follow him. Then he sent messengers into Asher, Zebulun, and Naphtali too, and they marched up to meet them. But then Gideon said to God, “To see if you really intend to rescue Israel through me as you have declared, I’m now putting a wool fleece on the threshing floor. If there is dew only on the fleece but all the ground is dry, then I’ll know that you are going to rescue Israel through me, as you have declared.” And that is what happened. When he got up early the next morning and squeezed the fleece, he wrung out enough dew from the fleece to fill a bowl with water. Then Gideon said to God, “Don’t be angry with me, but let me speak j

God Doesn't Care

OT Lesson: Isaiah 25:6-9 (CEB) On this mountain, the Lord of heavenly forces will prepare for all peoples a rich feast, a feast of choice wines, of select foods rich in flavour, of choice wines well refined. He will swallow up on this mountain the veil that is veiling all peoples, the shroud enshrouding all nations. He will swallow up death forever. The Lord God will wipe tears from every face; He will remove His people’s disgrace from off the whole earth, for the Lord has spoken. They will say on that day, “Look! This is our God, for whom we have waited— and He has saved us! This is the Lord, for whom we have waited; let’s be glad and rejoice in His salvation!” NT Lesson: Mark 16:1-8 (NRSV) When the sabbath was over, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought spices, so that they might go and anoint Him. And very early on the first day of the week, when the sun had risen, they went to the tomb. They had been saying to one another,  ‘Who

Walk with Me

Image
OT Lesson: Genesis 17:1-7, 15-16 (CEB) When Abram was 99 years old, the Lord appeared to Abram and said to him, “I am El Shaddai. Walk with Me and be trustworthy. I will make a covenant between Us and I will give you many, many descendants.” Abram fell on his face, and God said to him, “But Me, My covenant is with you; you will be the ancestor of many nations. And because I have made you the ancestor of many nations, your name will no longer be Abram but Abraham. I will make you very fertile. I will produce nations from you, and kings will come from you. I will set up My covenant with you and your descendants after you in every generation as an enduring covenant. I will be your God and your descendants’ God after you. God said to Abraham, “As for your wife Sarai, you will no longer call her Sarai. Her name will now be Sarah. I will bless her and even give you a son from her. I will bless her so that she will become nations, and kings of peoples will come from her.” NT Lesson: Roman
