Galatians Reading Plan
Throughout our Set Free sermon series, we invite you to allow God to speak to you and form you through a slow reading of Scripture called lectio divina. Learn more / see our Galatians reading plan here.
Adult Discipleship Opportunity
Join Michael Fahrenbruch in the classroom just off the sanctuary where we will process what God might be saying through the morning’s sermon text. We meet on Sunday mornings from 10:15-11:15am.
Prayer Requests
Pray for our mission partners JeanJean & Kristie Mompremier as their community (which is still safe) is helping many Port-au-Prince refugees. Haiti has over 362,000 people that are internally displaced, and although the Prime Minister has resigned, gang violence continues. Even in the midst of this, God is at work as over 80 people will be baptized at their harvest festival. Thanks be to God.
Please pray for Bonnie Kramer, and the entire Kramer family, as they navigate challenging health issues.
Pray for those who are homebound: Carol Bras, Bonnie Kramer, Judy Solsma, Lucia Vander Ploeg.
