I’m happy to let you know that this week our guest preacher will be our good friend Seita Sakaguchi, a church planter we have supported and often prayed for. Seita will share more on Sunday about how they intend to continue their church planting adventure in Toyosu, a densely populated island on Tokyo’s waterfront. It will be a joy to host Seaita and Emma this…

Ladies, here are a few supplemental questions for Study 4 as we continue in Habakkuk. “Write it Down and Live by Faith” Habakkuk 2:2-20 Under Implication 2 and 3, pg. 32: God has much to say and teach us about faith. Where does our faith come from? Just how important is my faith to God? Here are…

As a pastoral team, we want to see members of this church continuing to walk in closer fellowship with our Triune God — the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Last Sunday, Josh Anderson led us in thinking about one of the ways we walk in fellowship with our “Helper,” the Holy…

This summer women’s fellowship groups are digging deeper in God’s Word by studying the book of Habakkuk together. As we do the third study in Living by Faith, here are a few extra notes. Study 3    The Letter of Complaint     Habakkuk 1:12-2:1   After question 1 on page 22: 1.b.  Think about a current situation in your life where you are waiting for God to work;  or,  you…

One of the things we’re considering as a church in 2017 is whether God is leading us to partner with the Acts 29, a global church-planitng network. And as elders, we wanted to give you a brief update and a few resources to be better informed about Acts 29. We’d like to answer some possible questions for the sake of church members here. 1. Where are we in the…

If you don’t have time to complete all, begin with the section in bold. 4b.  Do you have a “how long, O Lord” situation?  Habakkuk’s questions are a foreshadow of our dear Savior’s anguished cries from the cross. Matthew 27:46,  Mark 15:34 Waiting for God to act is sometimes…

As you’ll recall from the final chapter of Luke’s gospel, we as earthly-minded people are in need of the Lord Jesus to open our minds to understand the Scriptures (Lk. 24:45).  At youth camp next week, the Scriptures will be opened by a few men, but it is the Lord’s work to open the minds and hearts of the young people who will be listening. Will you…

Youth Summer Camp is right around the corner!  It looks like all-told, we’ll be bringing around 70 people to Dickson Valley Camp from June 5-8 for a week of the kind of fun that is leading me strongly in the direction of preemptive naps.  There is sure to be a lot of laughing, a lot of playing, plenty of eating, curious smells in the wrong direction, and memories to…

As ladies are beginning to study the book of Habakkuk together this summer (individually and in women’s fellowship groups), here are a few extra questions. The guide we are recommending is  Living by Faith from Matthias Media, and the references below to question numbers are for lesson 1 – pgs. 9-14. The portion in bold is to be included in our personal study…

Hello church family, This Friday night at 7:00 pm we will meet together at Plank Jr. High to remember the sacrificial death of Jesus through singing, reading and hearing God’s word, and partaking of the Lord’s Supper. Grace and peace, Matt Here is a Spotify playlist of the songs we will sing together.

One of the things God has challenged our church about recently is the importance of church membership. Being a part of a church body means something. On Sundays and in small groups, we’ve talked about some of our membership commitments, and we are praying that each individual will continue to be stirred to love and serve and grow with our church family. On this…

What’s church supposed to be about? Why do we gather in small groups throughout the week? Why does it matter how welcoming we are toward newcomers? How can we help people who are hurting, straying, or stuck? What’s my role as a church member?  We find profound answers to these questions…
