My Hope Sermon & Testimony, Virtual Prayer Rally, Easter Weekend (Pastoral Emphasis for 3/14)

Today was My Hope Sunday where our members invited people to tune into the service to hear about the Gospel and our hope in Jesus Christ. Deacon Shaun Johnson shared his My Hope testimony.

My sermon was on "What is God doing with COVID-19?".  Now I don't presume to know exactly what God is doing with this pandemic but God has revealed to us some of the things He is doing in this world through His Word. My three major points of what is God doing with COVID-19 are:
  1. God is showing us the horror of sin
  2. God is giving us a wake-up call for Christ's return
  3. God is calling us to repent
You check out the full sermon here.

I don't know what your experience with the church has been but God intends for the church to be a family. We care for one other, especially during life's difficulties. If you're not a part of a church community, I would encourage you to join one where others can care for you and you can care for others. 

The church is also a house of prayer. On Tuesday, March 16th, we'll be having a Virtual Prayer Rally at 7:00 pm on WebEx. Everyone is invited to join us. If you cannot attend, please submit your prayer online with our Prayer Request form

We are already in preparation for Easter weekend. We are strongly considering having a special outdoor Easter service. This week, I'll be sending out a survey via Realm to our members to get your feedback. So be on the lookout for that email.
