As a church, I love how we celebrate. And this past Sunday was no different as we celebrated Moms. It was a time to pause and give notice to the women in our lives who make a difference. Thank you to all of the volunteers who made Mother’s Day special.

This Sunday, we will continue in our series, “Things I Wish Jesus Never Said.” And this week is a great passage of challenge and hope.  We will hear something Jesus said and will think to ourselves, “I could never do that. Impossible.”  But wrapped around that interesting challenge is the most powerful reminder of hope and freedom. There are two life-changing proclamations from Jesus, a message that we all need to hear. If you’re wondering if this is a good weekend to invite someone to church, I would say this is the perfect weekend.

This Sunday, we’re having an information meeting about our upcoming Israel trip. We’ll meet at the end of the second service (around 12:15p). If you have any interest in going to Israel, please join us. This meeting is for everyone who is either already committed to going or thinking about going. We will meet in our offices for a brief 30-minute meeting.

Finally, last night we had a great Community Night together.  We were challenged by a Talbot Seminary professor to think about our faith and why we believe what we do. Next week is our final Community Night for the season. We would love for you to join us, whether for the first time or the fifth time.

As always, it is great doing life and ministry with you. We have a great church family that is always looking to reach our community. Way to go!

Blessings,
Jeff
