Weekly Youth Update: 4/27-5/3

The Homeland Park youth will finish our “Who is God?” series this Wednesday night. The first week, we learned what it meant for God to be Creator, last week we learned that He is the Redeemer of the world through Christ, and this week we will conclude learning about God as King. The discussions have been amazing and students are beginning to learn more and more about God’s greatness and His amazing work in Jesus to save people! We hope that you join us Wednesday night, from 6:30-7:30, in the Loft of the Family Life Center! Anyone wanting to hang out beforehand may arrive at the Family Life Center at 6:00.

Pictures from Our Send Off for Nathan and Jody O'Neill

Last night was bittersweet for us as we said goodbye to our youth Pastor Nathan O'Neill and his wife Jody. They both have served well here and we know God will continue to bless them as Nathan goes to serve in his new ministry. Our love and prayers go with them.

Confession, Reflection and The Lord's Supper

Yesterday, our church observed the ordinance of the Lord''s Supper or Communion as some call it. Our church is blessed to have a committee that prepares this for us on every fifth Sunday. This practice is designed to take us back in our hearts and minds to that dreadful night where Jesus sat at a table with His disciples to prepare them for His pending crucifixion . The purpose of the Lord's Supper is not for us to go through the motions, but to remember all that Christ did for us. His body was broken and blood was shed for the forgiveness of our sins. Communion is a time to reflect, appreciate and give honor to Jesus for what He endured for us. This ordinance is not for everyone.

I encourage you to worship Him Sunday with other believers. Whether it be with our church family or another one. Worship corporately with those who want to do the same. Let’s not take our worship opportunities for granted but vi...
