Pastor's Update for Worship on Sunday, April 5th

Good evening church family and friends,

I wanted to take a moment to touch base with everyone about tomorrow. As you have heard already, our governmental leaders have extended the “social distancing” initiatives to at least the end of April if not longer. This means we must continue worshiping online together in spirit but apart physically. Take heart though! The gospel has been shared with many people through our Facebook Live Services and YouTube Broadcasts.
What will the future hold, I do not know but I know God holds the future. This is a time to exercise our faith.
God’s word proclaims, “Faith shows the reality of what we hope for; it is the evidence of things we cannot see.” - Hebrews 11:1 (NLT)
‭‭
Be encouraged and know that God is using our church family and friends beyond our walls to show faith through hope in these difficult days.

Our Sunday Schedule

Our worship service will begin on Facebook live at 11:00 am. Our praise team will be leading music and Amy and Molly will be leading a “kid’s minute” with a craft for our young families to do at home.

This broadcast will be available after that for viewing and sharing later on Facebook and YouTube. I encourage you to watch, comment and interact during our time of worship.

Giving

Our Church Office will be open for anyone wishing to drop off their tithes and offerings tomorrow morning from 9:30 to 10:30 am and online giving has been added to our Facebook page and website. Some have continued to send by mail as well.
I want to thank all who have continued to make the effort to continue their support financially and through prayer. God is using that in mighty ways.

I look forward to worshiping with you tomorrow and remember we are all just a call away!
In Christ,

Pastor James

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.  This is only to be taken by those who are believers and accepted Jesus as their ultimate forgiver and leader.  To partake in this service in an unworthy state is sin. 1 Corinthians 11:27 (NLT) 27 So anyone who eats this bread or drinks this...

Pastor's Post: Worshiping Expectantly (Genesis 4:26)

I am so excited to be meeting in person on Sunday after only meeting virtually for the past two weeks on facebook live. I ran across this thought the other day. Moses wrote in Genesis about creation this gem: Genesis 4:26 NLT When Seth grew up, he had a son and named him Enosh. At that time people first began to worship the Lord by name. This is the first time since creation and the fall of man where worship was recorded as happening.  This is the “genesis” of how and why we worship today.  We do not worship an unnamed impersonal God.  We worship “Yahweh” (“I Am”)!  He is our creator, Heavenly father.  Worship is not an obligation, it is a privilege! It is an expression of our love for God for all He has given us!  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...

Pastor's Post for November 2024: A True Disciple

  A True Disciple Pastor’s Post for November 2024 Newsletter Oswald Chambers in his devotional entitled, My Utmost for His Highest writes, "A true disciple is one who has his new name written all over himself-interest, pride, and self-sufficiency have been completely erased." Pride is the sin of making "self" our god.”  A disciple is someone who learns from someone else.  Much like a student from a teacher or an apprentice learning a trade.  As a disciple of Christ we are to learn from Him.  This is accomplished by reading His word (The Bible) and applying it to our lives.  As you experience God throughout the month of November, make a conscious effort to learn from Christ.  Learn how to be humble, thankful, determined and loving towards others.  Make spending time with your heavenly Father a priority and make your focus to please Him and love others before meeting your needs first.  Our world is filled with enough people who claim to be a di...
