VBS, Habakkuk Sermon Series, Mental Health Awareness (Pastoral Emphasis for 5/21)

Vacation Bible School will be 6/21-23, 6:30-8:30pm (nightly with dinner) and then wrap up on Sunday, 6/25. The theme is about being Change Makers . There will be music, Bible trivia, art, evangelism, and drama. VBS is for the whole family. Registration is open now.      Habakkuk Sermon Series Next Sunday, we’re starting a new sermon series in Habakkuk called F aith in Confusing Times . Just like Habakkuk, we live in a time of chaos and injustice. And just like Habakkuk, we may wonder why God seems to not be doing anything about it. Join us for this series about having faith when life doesn’t make sense.    May is Mental Health Awareness Month . We need to break the stigma in the church. This week will be on promoting acceptance and compassion surrounding mental illness. Language matters; let’s work together to avoid derogatory terms. The language we use to talk about mental health can either perpetuate prejudice and discrimination or promote acceptance and compassion. When it come

Happy Mother's Day, Prayer Rally, Mental Health Awareness: Self-Care (Pastoral Emphasis for 5/14)

Happy Mother’s Day to all the mothers! But we should acknowledge that Mother's Day can be a tough day for many. Some of us have lost our mother. Take comfort in God, our heavenly Father. The Bible says that God watches over His people like a hen who protects her chicks under her wings. If you are in Christ and your mother was in Christ, then you shall see her again. Some mothers have lost children (some by miscarriages or abortion). God has mercy on children, and I do believe you shall see your child one day in eternity. And even if you have aborted a baby, there is forgiveness in Christ. Christ can remove your shame and guilt. There is no condemnation for those in Christ!  There are some women who desire to have children, but it has not happened yet. Trust in the sovereignty of God and know that your self-worth and identity are not in motherhood, but it is in Jesus Christ.  For all you mothers who feel like you don't measure up, you don't have to be perfect, Christ was pe
