Weekly Announcements October 4
We hope you'll join us this weekend as we worship God and learn from His Word together! On the first Sunday of each month, developing preachers from our congregation have been walking us through the Gospel of Luke.
This Sunday we're blessed to have one of our elders, Matt Westerink, open the Word for us with a message titled 'Jesus Raises the Dead' focusing on Luke 7:11-17. Jr. High can stay in the service to participate in communion as well. See you there!

Church Potluck This Sunday
Plan to stay after the service this Sunday for our monthly potluck lunch in the school gym! Some of the best conversations happen around a table as we get to know eachother better over a shared meal.

You can bring your dishes over to the school kitchen before the service. Come as you are, bring something to share if you can, and enjoy a meal with your church family.
