Police Survey, Twisted Too, Introducing MyHope Sunday (Pastoral Emphasis for 1/10)

Bereavement: Sis. Norma Winton's brother, Mario Anderson (uncle to Sis. Shenithia Griffin) passed away suddenly this past week. Mario's wife, Karla, was the one that invited our Worship Ministry to participate in Raleigh Winterfest about a year ago. Please be in prayer for the family during this time of loss. The homegoing service for Mario Anderson was held today at 3:00pm at Apex Funeral Home Chapel. The family asked me to officiate and bring the Word. I preached from John 14:1-6 on "Jesus is the way". There were non-believers present so they heard the Gospel. My prayer is that God's Word would find deep root in the soils of their heart.

Last week, we kicked off and laid the groundwork for our new Bible Study series, "The Promised One: Seeing Jesus in Genesis". Join us this Wednesday at 7:00pm as we look at seeing Jesus in creation.

Many of you know that I'm part of a group of pastors working with the Cary PD to improve relationship between the police and the African-American community. As a part of that, there's a survey in the bulletin that I'm asking everyone to fill out and return by the end of the month. You can submit your completed survey at the Welcome Center, church office, or in the offering baskets when offering is collected.

On 1/24, I'm starting a new sermon series, Twisted Too. We'll be looking at some more misused Scriptures. If you missed the first series, Twisted, you can check it out online, order the audio CDs or DVDs.



Today, we introduced our MyHope Outreach. We are asking all of our members to commit to inviting at least one unchurched person to join us at church on 3/20. During that service, we will share the hope we have in Jesus Christ. So invite someone to to church on 3/20 and pray that God will save them. More details will be coming.

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 ...
