Sermon Infographic, Mental Health Awareness, Communion (Pastoral Emphasis for 5/31)




Minister Brandi Hancock delivered the Word today. She preached on the topic "The Heart of the Matter" from Ezekiel 36:26-28. 

Infographic for today's sermon:



On this last Sunday in May, I want to acknowledge that May is Mental Health Awareness month.
  • Depression and other mental health issues are a form of suffering. The Bible talks a lot about suffering. Without Scripture, we might think that suffering is random and useless.
  • Christians can struggle with mental health issues (anxiety, depression, bi-polar, etc.) and yet have the joy of the Lord.
  • It's not morally wrong to seek counseling, therapy, or take medication. Just make sure that your ultimate hope is in Christ.
  • If you struggle with mental health issues, you can fight for joy by spending time with God-saturated people who help you to see God and fight the good fight.
Thank you all for your generous donations to our food drive to help students and families impacted by the Pandemic.

Next Sunday, we will celebrate Communion so drop by the church on Monday or Wednesday from 6 to 7pm or Saturday from 10am-12pm to pick up your Communion Kits. You can also utilize items at home like unleavened bread and grape juice/wine.

      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 ...
