Bulletin: View the Hospers bulletin HERE.

“Our Greatest Fear” Poem: View that poem that was recited HERE.

Joy Practice: Hold fast to the word and let it dwell in us richly.  Take one of these five verses (Psalm 126:2-3, Psalm 16:9-11, 1 John 1:5-7, 1 Peter 2:9, Psalm 27:1) and each day let it be on your mind and heart.  Put it in a place where you can see it.  Memorize it.  May these verses challenge us in the everyday things of life to be people of light and joy. 

Orange City Campus

On Sunday, Michelle Christy preached from Philippians 2:1-11, reflecting with us what it means to selflessly serve with joy.

Worship: You can view Orange City’s sermon and Sunday morning worship HERE.

We will meet on Wednesday nights from 6:15-7:45 March 11 – April 15. We’ll explore the theology of the body and the different Christian perspectives on same-sex relationships. Let’s consider creating a safe and courageous space, with a posture of listening and love.

Orange City Campus

Wednesday Night Meal – March 4: Join us on March 4 from 5:30 to 6:30pm for our next Wednesday Night Meal. We’re serving a baked potato bar, fruit salad, fresh rolls, and ice cream sundaes. There is a suggested donation of $3 per person. We are looking for volunteers to help serve and clean up after the meal (and for ice cream donations). To volunteer or donate, please sign up online or at the Welcome Center. 

Nursery Volunteers Needed: With the launch of the Hospers campus, we have had many key volunteers step out in faith to lead and serve in Hospers. This presents a great opportunity for those at the Orange City campus who are still looking for a place to serve with their gifts. While we are always looking for volunteers in many areas of ministry, there is a particular need right now for people to serve in the nursery during the 9:30 service. If you are interested, please sign up online or at the Welcome Center.

Hospers Campus

Spaghetti Supper Fundraiser: We invite you to join us at the Hospers campus on Sunday, March 15 from 5-7pm to support our youth as they raise money for summer camp and youth activities. We plan to serve spaghetti, french bread, a lettuce salad, and a variety of desserts!
