Focus-Live-Serve
Sunday we looked at Sacrifice - anything that matters costs. And as we looked at our purpose statement “To be a Christ centered Church that makes disciples who sacrificially love and serve or community” we focused in on the word Sacrifice. It will take sacrifice in time, resources and comfort to reach people, to disciple people, and to grow personally and as a church. It costs in all these areas and it costs if we don’t sacrifice, it will cost people not being reached, not being touched, not growing because we did not sacrifice.

Sunday night: We shared a video message by Jim Cymbala called “My House Shall Be Called a House of Prayer”. Pastor Cymbala is the pastor of the Brooklyn Tabernacle in New York City where each week over 3000 people come out to the Tuesday night prayer meeting to pray and seek God to move in their city and in their lives. There was a holy sense of God’s presence as people listened and as we took time to pray after the message. Prayer works and must always be a cornerstone of the ministry of our church.
This Sunday is Family Sunday where both the Worship and message is geared for all ages. The kids ages primary through grade six will be in the service with their families so that families can worship together.
Friday Evening will be our Family Movie Night with Minute to Win It to start the evening. Then we will show the movie Cars 2 on the Big Screens. There is no cost for this event but the canteen will be open and all proceeds will go to Children’s Ministries this summer. This event starts at 6:30 pm.
Our weekly Children ministries “Kids Club”, “D2C” and our Youth ministry “Canvas” happen each week up along with Small Groups. Be in prayer for these ministries as they bring truth into the lives of our kids and youth and adults.
We have three Adult discipleship classes that take place on Sunday morning at 9:30 am.
-Wesleyan Quarterly with Virginia Surette in the Library (room 13/14)
-“Stages of Spiritual Growth” with Dr. Gaile Smith in the Wesley Room
-“Gospel in Life – Grace Changes Everything” with Dave Wilson in room 5/6
