Reformation Celebration
This Sunday, October 31st
Immediately Following Our Service

What better way to celebrate salvation by grace through faith in Christ than with sausages, sides, desserts, and games? There will be something for everyone. Enjoy this moment with us.

It’ll be the 504th anniversary of the day Martin Luther nailed his 95 Theses to the church door in Wittenberg, Germany and accidentally started the Protestant Reformation. We have benefitted tremendously from the recovery of the gospel that sparked to life in 1517. Let’s commemorate it together.

It is a potluck and we need your help to pull it off. See the list below for your assignment.

Last name starts with A-E: Bring a side.

Last name starts with F-P: Bring a salad or vegetable.

Last name starts with R-Z: Bring a dessert.

Bring your own serving ware. We’ll direct you where to place your items before the service. Fridge space is limited. If you need to keep it cold, we ask you to bring a small cooler to keep it in. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to contact the church office.

We can’t wait to celebrate the gospel with you. Thanks for pitching in to make it a memorable time together.

Congratulations to Dylan, Christy, and big sister Madeline as they welcome their newest addition!

Add Your Voice to Ours

Our monthly prayer meeting is on the 4th Tuesday of every month. Unite your heart and your voice with ours as we seek God together.

Our next one is 10/26/21 at 7:00pm in Old Towne Orange. We’re asking everyone who can be there to be there. Bring a lawn chair, a coat, and a heart ready to meet with the Lord.

All the details are here.

What will we do with our freedom, prosperity, and responsibility?

On Sunday Pastor Dustin preached from Genesis 41:1-57. He reminded us of the dangers of prosperity and comfort. We can forget the Lord when life is good. But God is equipping us to keep our eyes fixed on Him when days of comfort and ease come our way. We need to give Him the credit, share with others what He has entrusted to us, and take steps to remember the God who always remembers us.

Listen to the sermon.

Singing the 5 Solas

This Sunday we’re introducing a new song to prepare us for Reformation Day. Check out the lyrics and listen to the song by clicking on the picture above or the link below. We can’t wait to sing with you on Sunday!

Listen to Reformation Song

REFORMATION SONG

Verse 1
Your Word alone is solid ground
The mighty rock on which we build
In every line the truth is found
And every page with glory filled

Verse 2
Through faith alone we come to You
We have no merit we can claim
Sure that Your promises are true
We place our hope in Jesus’ name

Chorus
Gloria, gloria, glory to God alone!
Gloria, gloria, glory to God alone!

Verse 3
In Christ alone we’re justified
His righteousness is all our plea
Your law’s demands are satisfied
His perfect work has set us free

Verse 4
By grace alone we have been saved
All that we are has come from You
Hearts that were once by sin enslaved
Now by Your pow’r have been made new!
Now by Your pow’r have been made new!

A Generous God Has Generous People

We’re partnering with HomeAid to help those in need in our neighborhoods. Bring non-perishable food items this Sunday. There will be a container near the entrance to the garden where you can drop them off. Here’s what we need you to bring:

• Stuffing

• Cranberry Sauce

• Gravy

• Mashed Potatoes

• Vegetables such as green beans, corn, carrot, etc.

• Pasta

• Cereal

• Non-perishable Desserts

Thanks to Les and Sue Card for taking the lead on this!

Four times per year our small group leaders gather for fellowship, prayer, and training. It's one of the many ways they serve behind the scenes, quietly and without recognition.

Despite all the other things that fill their busy lives, leading us is a priority. They do it because they care about us. They do it because they need it themselves. They do it because it's good.

"Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ." (Galatians 6:2 ESV)

Please pray for your small group leader. Their ministry is really our ministry. They meet tonight at 6:30pm.

Thank God For Our Small Group Leaders
