God’s Gospel Writes a New Story
We look forward to worshiping this Sunday through song, prayers, and the Word. We’ll take a moment to remember and give thanks for those who have died as an act of sacrifice. Pastor Jim Renke will continue to lead us through Galatians. We will recommit ourselves to the gospel message that transforms lives and brings all people of faith together.
General Announcements
Hour in the Word beginning June 4, 9 a.m. Our topic is Cultural Engagement: Being Salty and Smelly! Join us for this session during the months of June and July. Carol Marshall and Sam George will be teaching on the topic of Cultural Engagement. How do we as believers bring God’s goodness into the world around us through the savor and fragrance of Christian love and actions? We’ll define what culture actually is and how the example of Jesus sets a pattern for a truly incarnational faith life. If you’ve never come to the first hour class this would be a great time to give it a try!
