Easter Celebration Weekend, Important Meeting for Ecuador Mission Trip (Pastoral Emphasis for 3/17)

Today's reading from the Chronological Reading Plan: Deuteronomy 17-20

It seems like The Bible mini-series is getting worst with its historical and theological inaccuracies. The biggest problem I see is that the grand redemptive story is missing. It seems like a bunch of disconnected stories instead of each story pointing to God's plan to redeem His people through Jesus Christ. There has been little Gospel presented so far even though the Gospel is greatly present in the OT as prophecy, type, and shadow.

Easter Celebration Weekend is almost here!
  • We are having Good Friday service, 3-29 from 6 to 7pm 
  • Egg Hunt and fellowship with hot dogs, 3-30 at 1pm 
  • Sunrise Easter Service at 6am with Communion. We will have breakfast afterwards. You need to register to get tickets for the Breakfast. Those with tickets get priority to eat. Register online, registration table, or use connection card. 
The next Ecuador Mission Trip meeting is tomorrow at 6:30pm at Cary Church of God. If you are planning to go on this mission trip, you need to attend this meeting. See Minister Amekuedi to get an information packet if you don't have one.  Everyone will meet with their team and hear a preview of what to expect. You will need your completed application, your $100.00 deposit, and a copy of your passport for the meeting.

Responding to the Flooding, Christmas in July Food Drive, New Sermon Series (Pastoral Emphasis for 7/13)

Responding to the Flooding All of us are painfully aware of the devastating flooding that struck our nation recently. As of Friday evening, the confirmed death toll in Texas has risen to 129, with at least 150 individuals still missing across the state. Our hearts are heavy, and we grieve for the lives lost and the families enduring unimaginable pain. One of the first things people tend to do is look for someone to blame. Was it the fault of the warning system not being early enough? Was it the fault of the government (state and federal)? Was it the fault of God? If God is so good, why do we suffer with natural disasters like flooding that takes the lives of seemingly innocent people like young children? The reality is that the fault lies with us. Humanity decided to rebel against the Creator God, thereby, ushering in sin and the fall from God's perfect creation. Natural disasters happen because we live in a fallen world ravaged by sin. Natural disasters like these floods are trag...
