Initial Sermon, International Day of Prayer for the Persecuted Church (Pastoral Emphasis for 11/13)

Radical Experiment 2011 Update
  • Today's Scripture Reading: Acts 1-3 
  • Today's Country: Switzerland 
  • Spend time in another context: Give some of your time to help make the gospel known outside of your normal context (different community, city, nation).
 Thank everyone who went with us to C.A. Dillon. Your presence was greatly appreciated. We ended up only have about 30 minutes for the service but the Gospel was proclaimed and we did get a chance to pray with many of the boys.

Sis. Samantha Hanebeck will deliver her Initial Sermon on next Sunday at 4:00pm. Everyone is invited to join us for this special occasion.

In recognition of Veterans Day on last Friday, we want to thank all who have served our country.

Today is the International Day of Prayer for the Persecuted Church. Please watch this video and then pray for our brothers and sisters who are suffering for the faith.

We are asking all members to sacrifice to give at least 5% more until the end of the year to help with our budget deficient. If you are able to give more, please do so. As always, we appreciate your generous giving.

Minnesota School Shooting, Music Ministry Recruitment, Ark Encounter Trip (Pastoral Emphasis for 8/31)

Minnesota School Shooting Our hearts are heavy over the tragic school and church shooting in Minneapolis at Annunciation Catholic School, where two children lost their lives and many others—some as young as six—are recovering from serious injuries. Sadly, we couldn't get through a full week of traditional school before something like this happens. In this time of profound sorrow, let us hold close in prayer the grieving parents, families, and the entire Annunciation community. Though we cannot fully comprehend their pain, we can stand alongside them in faith, offering compassion, and intercession. May God bring comfort to those who mourn, healing to the wounded, and peace to a terrified community.  Of course, a mass shooting always brings up the issue for stricter gun laws. I agree we do need good legislation and sensible gun laws because it is the government's responsibility to protect its citizens. Ultimately, that will not solve our problem. For a country that has been ...
