God saves children, Bring My Hope Commitment Cards, My Hope Testimony (Pastoral Emphasis for 2/28)

Last Sunday, young Darish Jacobs (age 9) came forward to trust in Christ and be a candidate for baptism. Praise God for saving young souls!

Our 2016 Theme is Abide in Christ and Bear Much Fruit. We have a limited supply of t-shirts with this theme on it on sale for $7.00 each.


Join us on Wednesday at 7:00pm for our Bible Study series, "The Promised One: Seeing Jesus in Genesis". This week, we'll look at Genesis 25-35 to see Jesus in the life of Jacob.

We will not have Communion next Sunday but on Easter instead.

My Hope Sunday is 3/20. I'm asking everyone to bring their commitment cards (or a piece of paper) with the name of the person(s) they have invited to church next Sunday. We will pray for those names that God would bless and save them according to His will.

I shared my testimony about my mom getting older and being ill while I'm so far away.  With my family and pastoral obligations, it makes it hard for me to get up north to see her often.  Since I'm an only child, I must trust in the sovereignty of God that He will take care of my mom even when I'm not there.  And God has been good to provide help for my mom through her church family and friends, especially a neighbor who has been very kind to her. 

We also praised God for our sister, Leanne Lennon, who got baptized today. Please pray for her as she grows and walks with the Lord.

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...

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 ...
