Jesus Night – Wednesday, May 27th

The Fellowship Hall is open at 6:00 pm for Church Family Dinner and/or to hang out. Jesus Night starts at 7:00 pm. If we want more people to interact with Jesus Christ we should be involved. Please pray and ask the Holy Spirit to help you identify who you should share Jesus with. Think about it and jot down some ideas. Pray about it more. Our monthly “Jesus Nights” give an opportunity to invite people who would be interested in hearing you share your Jesus-story.

Sharing Life Together

Pastor’s Weekly

We are planning water baptism on Mother’s Day, Sunday, May 10th. Please let us know if you want to be baptized. Please be in prayer for those who will be baptized. The early church would have at least a couple of people fast and pray for the person who would be baptized. It is such an important public confession of faith in Jesus.

Sharing Jesus

“Above all, put on love,” – Colossians 3:14
“Love says: I’ve seen the ugly parts of you, and I’m staying.” – Matt Chandler
“Love God,” with the best of your energy and “love your neighbor as yourself….go (urge others to also follow) make disciples, baptizing, teaching,” – Jesus Christ in Matthew 28:18-20
“Disciple making is not a call for others to come to us to hear the gospel but a command for us to go to others to share the gospel.” – David Platt
The more effective we are in sharing faith in Jesus as Savior person to person the more we will also be in sharing this from one generation to the next.

Being Strategic About the News

Simple Summer

This summer, we’re embracing a slower, simpler rhythm together as a church. “Simple Summer” is all about creating more space for Jesus, family, friendships, rest, and meaningful connection. Over the summer months, you can expect simplified Sunday services, fewer volunteer commitments, occasional family-style Sundays, combined kids classes (CK Summer Club), and intentional opportunities for community through relaxed gatherings and park meetups. Our hope is that this season feels refreshing, encouraging, and life-giving for everyone.

This Week

Women’s Hangout at Cylburn – Saturday, May 9th

We’ll be meeting up at Cylburn Arboretum for Market Day this Saturday! We are planning to get there around 9:15 am and hang out for several hours. If you are interested in more details or carpooling, please reach out to Anna.

Sunday Church Service – Sunday, May 10th

We are looking forward to our Sunday church service this Sunday, May 10th at 9:00 am. You can listen to the recordings of previous messages here. Below is Sunday’s song list. Please listen to these songs during the week. What we sing matters. God interacts with us in our times of worship. You are welcome to use the sanctuary front altar area during our praise and worship time. Let’s worship God with the best of our energy. Let’s determine to seek God and an increased awareness of his presence.
