Midweek Update May 25, 2022

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

It was a joy to welcome our guests to the community lunch this past Sunday. Thank you to everyone who participated in the logistics of hosting the event, from designing invitations to preparing the various components of our meal. This was the third Community Lunch we have hosted this ministry year and each time the number of guests has continued to increase. I hope you were as encouraged as I was to see new and returning faces among us as we continue to strive to be a church for the good of the community.

This week our sermon text is Acts 25:1-27. The link for the livestream of worship is here.

Prayer Requests

Karla and Gary Van der Molen: Please continue in faithful prayer for Karla and Gary.

 Ted Powers: Please pray for our friend Ted Powers as he is currently in Haiti serving with the Haitian Presbyterian denomination leading their annual General Assembly–attended by approximately 3000 people and radio-broadcast to over 2 million Haitians.

Finally, please continue to pray for the churches and community of Uvalde, Texas, where a gunman killed 19 students and 2 teachers on Tuesday morning. We grieve deeply at such an act of violence and evil and we pray that God would move through his Holy Spirit in a powerful way to comfort this community and to spread the light of the gospel into such a tragic situation.

In Him,

Pastor Rhett
