Something Extra

I love church. She is often called the Bride of Christ. We ask people to follow Christ and to join His church. Churches come in all sizes and personalities. Yes, each church takes on a personality of its own. Sunday morning we will learn more about the beauty of Christ's bride. See Colossians 2:1-2. See ya then.

We will also observe the Lord's Supper and hear Mike Seymour's testimony.

Prayer Requests: Pray for Tony Wagner who will have surgery early Saturday morning on his small toe. He is at Berger Hospital.

It's Your Serve!! Have you found your place of ministry yet? There is power and love in serving others. Let us help you find that ministry team that is a good fit for you.

Pray for six of our youth who are going to Super Summer next week at Cedarville University. This is a week of discipleship and leadership training, Thanks to Kara Jones who will be serving as our chaperone/group leader.

Time to read and sign again the two page document for Childcare Protection Screening Guidelines. We who work with minors read this again annually to be reminded of what these guidelines are. Will take 5 minutes. After signing please return to the church office.

Purpose

Sunday will be a great day of worship and reflection as we learn in Psalm 78 a fresh perspective on our purpose for living. We are not alone as we build family and community. Be sure to join us and bring a friend on this highlight of the year.

Pray for our Ladies and Girls Banquet Saturday. We begin serving the meal at 5PM. Come early and get your free photo. Bring your tickets and complete the back side of your ticket for the prize drawings.

This season of the year is a reminder of Parent/Child Dedications. If you have not done this for your family, please contact our church office or pastor and we will be glad to explain this commitment to you. Children are a gift and so is parenthood.

Keep on serving others as Jesus serves us.

Breaking Barriers

What a great time we have been having as we celebrate the season between the resurrection of Jesus and his ascension. This is a time period of about 40 days. During this short period of time Jesus launched his movement. It began to grow in Jerusalem and spread from there. The early Christians overcame every obstacle and moved forward

faithfully. Their resurrection power gave them all they needed to overcome persecution, mistakes, and every sort of problem. Sunday morning we will show how they broke through all barriers and moved forward. We will also hear one of our members share his life story of how he has found God to be a great sustaining power through all the tough times of life. Join us and bring a friend.

Sunday is the deadline to bring payment for your Ohio Changers mission trip. See Shane Jones.
