Bereavement, April Birthdays & Anniversaries, Theological Seminar (Pastoral Emphasis for 4/5)

Bereavement

Please keep Sis. Griffin and her family in your prayers as they grieve the passing of her daughter, Merita, on last Tuesday. We ask that you pray for God’s comfort, peace, and sustaining strength to surround them during this heartbreaking time. May they experience the nearness of the Lord, who is our refuge and hope even in grief.

Theological Seminar

 ðŸ—“ April 18 at 9:00 AM

 

We all experience broken relationships. Whether it’s a short-lived disagreement with a friend or years of silence between family members, fractured relationships cause deep pain. Sometimes we’ve been hurt. Other times, we are the ones who have caused the hurt.

The good news is that Jesus has provided a powerful pathway to healing through forgiveness and repentance.

Our church theme is Making Peace, Making Disciples, so we want to focus on peacemaking and reconciliation. Join us for our upcoming Theological Seminar on 4/18 at 9 AM on the topic “Healing Relationships”.

Many of us have been told to forgive or repent through gritted teeth and sheer willpower—but few of us have been shown how to offer forgiveness or repentance that flows from a transformed heart. Jesus has created us for deep, abiding relationships—relationships that not only withstand conflict but grow stronger through it.

During this Theological Seminar, we will engage in:

  • Stories and real-life examples
  • Guided discussion questions
  • Scripture reflection
  • Meaningful readings

Join us as we pursue reconciliation, restoration, and healing in our relationships. Register HERE.
