Pentecost Sunday, Elder-led Prayer, Memorial Day (Pastoral Emphasis for 5/24)


Today in Pentecost Sunday. Fifty days after Passover and ten days after the ascension of Christ, the Holy Spirit came like a mighty rushing wind to indwell the believers that were waiting in Jerusalem. That day, the church was born. Under the New Covenant, all who trust in Christ are sealed and indwelled with the Holy Spirit. Praise God for the Holy Spirit.  He gives us the power to accomplish our mission to make disciples of all nations.

In preparation for our last week of our Romans Bible Study series, please read Romans 8, 13-16 as we'll be looking at the Doctrine of Glorification. Join us again on Wednesday at 7pm.

High School Seniors: Don't forget that the application submission deadline for the J. A. Lewis Scholarship is May 31.

The next Elder-led Prayer is Tuesday, May 26th, from 6:00pm to 7:00pm. Everyone is invited to join us for an hour of prayer.  If you are not able to attend but have prayer requests, you can place submit them online.

There is still time to submit YOUR STORY. We want to collect all YOUR STORIES into a scrapbook to be OUR STORY to leave as memorial stones for future generations to know GOD'S STORY of His faithfulness towards this church. Fill out & submit the YOUR STORY questionnaire online.


Tomorrow is Memorial Day. It is the holiday where we remember those who have died in the military service to our country. So as you cook-out, go to the beach, or enjoy time with family, say a prayer for those who have lost family and friends serving for our freedom.

John 15:13 says "Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends." And may this be a reminder that this is exactly what Jesus did for us. He laid down His life on the Cross so that we might be reconciled back to God. Those who trust in Jesus and His work on the Cross are no longer enemies of God but are friends of God. And even more than friends, we are adopted into God's family.
