TODAY

We gather for outdoor worship today.  Pastor Kory continues the series You Keep Using That Verse.  His sermon today is Superhero Strength, from Philippians 4:13.

We will have some tents set up in the parking lot for shade.  Please come prepared with water, sunglasses, hat, and anything else that keeps you cool.

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

NEXT SUNDAY

Pastor Kory will continue the sermon series You Keep Using That Verse.  Next week’s sermon is God’s Chosen Nation, from 2 Chronicles 7:14.

PRAYER REQUESTS

We express our sympathy to Tom and Jan Byle, and Jim and Deb Kok.  Jan Byle’s brother passed away July 4 after a brief battle with an aggressive form of cancer, and Jim Kok’s brother died July 5 from a blood-based staph infection.  Please pray for comfort and peace for the Byle and Kok families.
