TODAY

Happy Father’s Day!  We will gather together for outdoor worship today, weather permitting.  Please bring your lawn chair if you can, and meet near the northwest part of the parking lot.

Pastor Kory continues the series The Bible Doesn’t Say That.  His message today is Everything Happens for a Reason, from Romans 8:28.

If you are unable to worship in person, the service will be live-streamed on Youtube and Facebook, and available to watch later in the week if you desire.

NEXT SUNDAY

Pastor Kory will continue the series The Bible Doesn’t Say That.  Next week his message is God Wants Me to be Happy, from John 10:10. 

Next week we also celebrate communion and install our newly selected Elders and Deacons.

PRAYER REQUESTS

We express our sympathy to Maria Gomez.  Her brother, Juan Gomez, passed away on June 15.  Please pray for peace for the family as they mourn his passing.

Please continue to pray for our community, nation, and world during these unsettling times.
