Pastoral Emphasis (from Church Family Meeting on 1/31/21)

The elders and I will be evaluating the status of our services on a quarterly basis. As previously stated, this first quarter, we'll continue with our Virtual Services. We'll continue to monitor the situation with the pandemic to determine when we can have outdoor services and eventually in-door services.   Again, I want to encourage everybody to take advantage of how easy it is to attend our Virtual Bible Study and Foundation Fellowship classes now. There's really no excuse to miss them since you don't have to get dressed and come out to church. We have some exciting topics coming up in both classes. Next month in Foundation Fellowship, we're digging into how to delight in the Trinity . We're currently studying the book of Romans in Bible Study. If you can master Romans or better yet let Romans master you, you will definitely grow spiritually. And don't forget to attend our monthly Virtual Prayer Rallies on the third Tuesday at 7pm. This is a great time

Baby Announcements, Virtual Prayer Rally, MLK Holiday (Pastoral Emphasis for 1/17)

Congratulations to Eric and Danielle Mtika on the birth of their son, Malachi on January 2, weighing 8 lbs 6 oz and 20 inches long.  Join us on Tuesday, 1/19 for our first Virtual Prayer Rally  of the year at 7pm on WebEx . You can submit your prayer requests online .  Tomorrow is the Martin Luther King Jr Holiday.

We must spread the Gospel and make disciples.  In all of this chaos, one thing that God is doing is exposing the idols in the American church. When someone like Franklin Graham compared the Republicans who voted against Trump as the same as betraying Jesus, then you know that they are looking at Trump like he's christ.

Virtual Winter Game Night, Church's Mission, Prayer Rally (Pastoral Emphasis for 1/10)

Join us for our next Virtual Game Night on Saturday, January 16th, at 6 pm. We are going to play a virtual version of the word game Scattergories . The deadline to register on Realm is TODAY .  The mob violence that happened at the Capitol last week is just another reason for the church to be about her mission. Human depravity was on full display. This is why our purpose to worship Christ, spread the Gospel, and serve the community is vitally important. The hope for our nation is not politics or the government but Jesus Christ . The church must not let current events distract us from our mission of making disciples . And a part of the church's mission includes prayer . The church is to be the Lord's house of prayer. So mark your calendar for our first Virtual Prayer Rally on the 19th at 7pm ET on WebEx .  If you can't make it, you can submit your prayer requests online . Join us for an hour of prayer.
