This Sunday we are playing a video created by our ministry team here. Rev. Sam leads us in worship and Billy plays the organ for us. There will be words on the screen so you can join in the responsive reading, prayer, and even the hymns!
Sunday, March 15th Worship Service….sort-of
Hi everyone. We made an effort to record the service last Sunday but the program we used crashed. So, Pastor Rick recorded parts of it from his home office (don’t worry, he didn’t sing the hymns!). We will be trying to do this or record a service each Sunday during the outbreak.
#RedLetterChallenge – Week 1, BEING
Our Red Letter Challenge for Lent starts with the Week of Being: So many times Jesus talks about the importance of spending time and just being with him. Before he invites us to do things for Him, through Him, in this name, he invites us into a relationship. Our relationship with him will determine how effective we are at actually doing the things he asks.
Spend some time this week practicing your faith. Do you pray, worship, study? You know, faith is not confined to Sunday morning.
Lent Red Letter Challenge!
Beginning on the day before Ash Wednesday, the start of Lent, you have a chance to give up one hour a day to God and learn more about Christ and more importantly deepen your relationship with Him. We will be offering a study group during Lent focused on the ‘red letter’ words Jesus spoke in the bible. We will be using a program created by Zach Zehnder called ‘Red Letter Challenge, A 40-day life-changing discipleship challenge.’ Each day there is a small reading and a challenge. In addition, we will have a kick-off on Tuesday, February 25th at church at 6pm and will meet weekly each Tuesday up through Holy Week.
The themes of the course focus on:
• Being
• Forgiving
• Serving
• Giving
• Going
Don’t have time on Tuesday evening? No problem, come to church any Sunday (10am) before Lent and we will give you a free copy of the book!
