Sunday :: Worship / Fellowship

Message for Sunday, July 23rd

Remaining faithful to one’s calling as a Christian seems to be increasingly hard. There are a lot of external things that are putting pressure on us. There are cultural values that conflict with things the Bible says. There are so many voices that question a basic understanding of God’s Word. If we actually choose to follow Jesus in the way the Bible encourages us to, we will “stand out” — and quite likely face ridicule. And yet we are called to His Love and called to be Love in this world. Today we will talk about faithfulness, to God, to His Word, to Love.

Key Verse

But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far away have been brought near by the blood of Christ.

Ephesians 2:13

Growthday :: Events

Summer in the Psalms

If you are looking for a small group, Bible study, or prayer journey this summer, consider a weekly dive into the Psalms with the Prayer Ministry. It starts Wednesday June 7 at 7:00 pm at the church. Everyone is welcome, and so are snacks and drinks! Teens are invited to volunteer for child care on a pay-by-donation basis. Summer is often busy, so just come when you can. We hope participants will learn and pray favorite and obscure Psalms more deeply. Contact Nik or Elsbeth Grosfield for more information.

Beartooth Camp In Full Swing!

Tomorrow, our grade school kids will be joining up with others from across our area, and maybe some from even further, for Beartooth’s Kids’ Summer Camp. Please be praying for these campers, for Pastor Kyle and family, and for the rest of the camp’s staff as they prepare for a week of fun and growth. May God bless them and bring them all closer to Him during this coming week.

Check in time for camp is 3:00 pm. If your camper is taking the bus from the church, please be here no later than 1:30 pm for check-in.
