Elder-led Prayer, History of Black Church Seminar, Church Family Meeting (Pastoral Emphasis for 4/23)

Everyone is invited to join us for Elder-led Prayer on Wednesday, April 26th, from 6 to 7 pm. If you are not able to attend but have prayer requests, you can place them in the prayer requests box on the table at the back of the church, use the Connections card, or submit them online.

Also on Wednesday at 7pm, we continue our Discipleship Journey in Bible Study. We'll be looking the priorities of a disciple. Following Jesus means living a life that reflects His character and priorities.

Thanks to all who came out yesterday to our Theological Seminar on the History of the Black Church. If you missed it, I'd definitely encourage you to watch it from our archive or order a CD or DVD. We have extra notes from the seminar at the Welcome Center. Professor Walter Strickland mentioned that he is working on turning this presentation into a book. In addition he is also republishing the book "Plain Theology for Plain People" by 19th-century black pastor and educator Charles Octavius Boothe. Some have expressed interest in supporting Strickland's work. If you'd like to give to support, please give to the love offering with a note "Walter Strickland". We'll collect it over the next couple of weeks and give it to him.

Next Sunday, we'll have our church family meeting after the service. We have a guest from Dorcas Ministries coming to present. All members are invited to attend.

The Children's Ministry is have their Sunday Funday next Sunday. Sis. Daureen informed the teachers and volunteers about the sign up sheet. There are one hour time slots for those that may want to enjoy part of service. There will also be inside time during the Church Family Meeting, so parents will have the option to pick up children before or after meeting. We also have themed baskets to give away but you need to be present to win.

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...
