Our pulpit never looked this good.

Diversity in our ministry is a very good sign. It means God is equipping us for good works and it also means we are eager to do whatever it takes to see the gospel advance. This is the work of the Spirit.

One example of this is our refurbished pulpit. After our two IKEA lecterns literally fell apart  (you have IKEA furniture...you know what we're talking about), something had to be done. One Sunday the pulpit actually crumbled into pieces after the service. We all just watched and laughed.

Now, a month later, both lecterns and our communion table have been refurbished. Our preachers can once again pound the pulpit with confidence. How's is this possible? Deacon Les has a wood shop :)

Join us this Sunday as we complete our short series of sermons concerning the simple things in life...food, family, and friends. We'll be celebrating how they bless us and considering how our calling as God's children changes how we think about them.

Learn more about the last two sermons here: food and family.

Family is the language of God.

Last Sunday Pastor Eric preached from Ephesians 5:22-6:4 on the mission of the family to proclaim the truth about God. You can listen to the sermon here.

As Pastor Eric said, to borrow from J.I. Packer's well-known quote (adoption through propitiation), the message of the New Testament could be summarized in three words...

Family through sacrifice.

What we think about family.

Join us this Sunday as we continue our short series of sermons concerning the simple things in life...food, family, and friends. We'll be celebrating how they bless us and considering how our calling as God's children changes how we think about them.

Every Sunday morning we begin our services with an invitation - an invitation to experience the goodness of God. We invite because He invites us.

It doesn't matter what kind of week you have had.

Good or bad, faithful or unfaithful - God's invitation stands because of His Son. We are welcomed because Jesus has secured us a spot at His Father's table.

There is no greater invitation.

This week we will sing a new song of invitation. Have a listen and come ready to sing to the God who welcomes.

Come People of the Risen King

Come, people of the Risen King
Who delight to bring Him praise
Come all and tune your hearts to sing
To the Morning Star of grace
From the shifting shadows of the earth
We will lift our eyes to Him
Where steady arms of mercy reach
To gather children in

REFRAIN
Rejoice, Rejoice! Let every tongue rejoice! 
One heart, one voice; O Church of Christ, rejoice!

Come, those whose joy is morning sun
And those weeping through the night
Come, those who tell of battles won
And those struggling in the fight
For His perfect love will never change
And His mercies never cease
But follow us through all our days
With the certain hope of peace

Come, young and old from every land
Men and women of the faith
Come, those with full or empty hands
Find the riches of His grace
Over all the world, His people sing
Shore to shore we hear them call
The Truth that cries through every age:
“Our God is all in all”!
