Pastor John Davis

Pastor Mike Weider

Welcome!
We extend a special welcome to our guests, visitors and all who join us in worship today. Please let us know of your presence or
any prayer requests you have by filling out one of the cards in the pew rack and placing them in the offering plate. We hope that
our church home becomes your church home and the spiritual place where you grow through the
Word of God.
Nursery care for children up to three years old is located on the main floor of the Welcome Center across from the library. Older
children attending the church service are encouraged to borrow a Toddler Tote filled with activities as you enter the Sanctuary.
Concerning the Sacrament of the Altar
We believe that Jesus offers Himself to us in the Sacrament His true body and blood, for the forgiveness of sins. We also share
the scriptural concern for those who participate in the Lords supper that they recognize what they are receiving
(1 Corinthians 11:27). Therefore, we ask that all who desire to receive the Lords Supper please carefully examine themselves
using the communion information card found in the pew rack.
Communion is celebrated on the 1st and 3rd Sundays at both services.
For those who desire, we offer gluten-free wafers (please indicate your desire to the Pastor or Elder) and
non-alcoholic wine (located in the rose colored cups in the center of the individual cup tray).

CONFESSION OF SINS
P:
C:

Most merciful God,

We confess that we are by nature sinful and unclean. We have sinned against you in thought, word, and deed, by what we
have done and by what we have left undone. We have not loved you with our whole heart; we have not loved our
neighbors as ourselves. In fact we have often loved ourselves, and the things of this world more than anything else. Our
idols are many. We justly deserve Your present and eternal punishment. For the sake of Your Son, Jesus Christ, have
mercy upon us. Forgive us, renew us, and lead us, so that we may delight in your will and walk in your ways, even the
way of sacrifice, to the glory of your holy name. Amen.

SUNDAYS 9:30 am Adults

The Book of Judges - Gods Kingdom Revealed Through Flawed Heroes
It is human nature to want to have larger-than-life heroes - men or women who rise above the fray, and do great things. This is
how we often view Bible heroes, yet reality somewhat differs from our desires, perhaps nowhere is this more evident than in the
book of Judges, a historical compilation of the leaders and rulers of Gods people from the time of the culmination of the conquest
of Canaan until the time of the Kings. Grab a cup of coffee and join Pastor Davis study group.
(Loomis Center)
Lost Books? Were some books intentionally excluded from the Bible? Why did certain texts qualify as divinely inspired, which
ones didnt make the cut, and which texts were deemed useful or instructive though not canonical in the life of the early
church? Pat Croll and Alan Bishop lead this study.
(Welcome Center - Library)
Gods Word for Today: Nahum, Habakkuk, and Zephaniah tells of the call for God's people to repent of their sins, exercise
justice among the oppressed, and look to the Messiah. Although written against Nineveh, Nahum brings "good news" to believers.
In this evil world of ours, Habakkuk declares that "the righteous will live by...faith." Zephaniah points to the "day of the LORD"
when His people will be saved and the wicked punished. This study led by Tim Gandre and Tony Rylander.

OWNER or STEWARD?
Some people view themselves as owners of everything they have. "I worked for it, I saved it, I deserve it... it's mine."
Other people know that everything they possess belongs to God and that they are only the managers, or stewards, of God's "stuff".
So which one are you: Owner or Steward?
The answer to that question really does make a difference in how we manage
the money and possessions entrusted to us!
