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

🗓 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.

Responding to the Flooding, Christmas in July Food Drive, New Sermon Series (Pastoral Emphasis for 7/13)

Responding to the Flooding All of us are painfully aware of the devastating flooding that struck our nation recently. As of Friday evening, the confirmed death toll in Texas has risen to 129, with at least 150 individuals still missing across the state. Our hearts are heavy, and we grieve for the lives lost and the families enduring unimaginable pain. One of the first things people tend to do is look for someone to blame. Was it the fault of the warning system not being early enough? Was it the fault of the government (state and federal)? Was it the fault of God? If God is so good, why do we suffer with natural disasters like flooding that takes the lives of seemingly innocent people like young children? The reality is that the fault lies with us. Humanity decided to rebel against the Creator God, thereby, ushering in sin and the fall from God's perfect creation. Natural disasters happen because we live in a fallen world ravaged by sin. Natural disasters like these floods are trag...
