Holding On To Freedom

This Sunday, we have the joy of having Jeff Granger share about his missions ministry with Cru. Through song, the Word and prayer, we’ll celebrate the joys of the gospel of grace. Pastor Jim will lead us through Galatians 4:8-31, where we’ll be encouraged to do what we must to hold onto Christ as our only hope from freedom!

General Announcements

Hour in the Word 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!

Virtual Prayer Gathering: This Tuesday night (7/18) at 7:00 pm, we’ll be gathering on Zoom for our prayer meeting. Come join us for a meaningful time of prayer—all from the comfort of your own living room. Zoom details to follow via email. If you have a prayer request or an update, please send it to office@evcl.org.

Missionary of the week:  Please pray for Kathy Richards Bhatia, She Is Safe, this week.
