“Great is the Lord and most worthy of praise; His greatness no one
can fathom. One generation will commend your works to another;
the will tell of your mighty acts.” Psalm 145:3-4
WELCOME: We welcome each one who worships here today
in Spirit and in Truth. May our King and God rule every heart
through His Word. May our lives praise His Name every day
through the living and lifestyle that is appropriate for the
Christian.
Please join us after this morning’s service for a time of
refreshment in the Fellowship Hall.
Children aged 3-5 meet your teachers in the Narthex during
the offering this morning for Children’s Church.
This morning, refreshments for your enjoyment after worship
are in honor of Lloyd Kuipers, who turns 85 today! Happy
Birthday to Lloyd, and may God bless you for years to come.
ABOUT OUR MESSAGES
This morning, Pastor Drew will begin a short sermon series
called “Reformation Pillars.” 2017 is being celebrated as the
500th anniversary of the beginning of the Protestant Reformation,
a movement aiming at reforming the church according to
God’s Word. This is a movement we proudly carry on today.
The Reformation stands on five “pillars,” and we look at the
first of them, “Scripture Alone” through a collision of God’s
Word and man’s traditions in Mark 7:1-13.
This evening, we will be studying sacraments. What are our
sacraments? What does ‘sacrament’ mean? Why do we continue
doing them? Pastor Drew will be preaching from Romans 4:4-
12 on “Signs and Seals.”
PRAYERS AND PRAISES
Please be in prayer for a number of families mourning the loss
of relatives living elsewhere: Deb and Roland Bultsma and
their family, who lost Deb’s sister-in-law to cancer, as well as
Allis Hansum and family, who lost son Ron’s wife, Virginia,
at 65 to congestive heart failure. Lift these families up to God’s
comfort of our resurrected Savior, even amidst the grief of loss.
A few of our family members underwent surgery this week,
and we ask you to pray for their recovery: Lois Visscher,
Elmer Visscher, and Darlene Van Zee. May God be glorified
as they walk through recovery!
Thank you to all who offered prayers, goodies and notes/words of
encouragement throughout the past week. We appreciate all who
contributed to the building up of His “Authentic Community”
through the use of the tool of SERVE. Thank you for serving the
SERVants! ~Jeanette & Tammy
Another year of SERVE is completed. THANK YOU to all who
contributed to feeding the SERVants and Bible School children in any
way. To those who brought in food or other items we asked for,
worked in the kitchen, cooked, cleaned, assembled sandwiches,
delivered food around the country, washed towels, etc. - we thank you.
You made a very busy week enjoyable again. We are thankful for our
"authentic community". ~Harriett and Yvonne
