Announcements – June 9, 2023 – Christ Presbyterian Church (PCA)

Brothers and Sisters in the Lord,

This coming Sunday, we will begin our summer preaching series on the subject of “The Unusual Questions that Jesus Asked.”

The four Gospels have left us with an impressive list of questions Jesus raised, both to His friends and to His foes, throughout His earthly sojourn. A study of these questions will reveal much about our Savior, and even more about what Christian discipleship entails.

Our first message will come from Matthew 5:46 where our Lord asks His disciples, “Do not even the tax collectors do the same?” As you get ready for worship this Lord’s Day, take a moment to examine the context of this question in verses 43-48.

Some Items for Prayer

Let me mention three matters of prayer for you.

First is for our Vacation Bible School that begins this coming Monday, June 12. Each day, from Monday through Thursday, our covenant children will gather to study God’s Word. Please pray fervently for our teachers, helpers, and our little ones.

Next week is also the annual meeting of the PCA’s General Assembly (in Memphis this year). Let us seek the Lord’s blessing and His clear leadership on behalf of the many commissioners who will come together to worship and conduct the sacred business of our denomination. As you know, there are many critical decisions ahead for the PCA that will determine the course for our future. We need our Father’s wisdom and grace in order to remain faithful to Him and His Word.

Finally, on Sunday June 25, we will be honored to have Rev. Steve and Rita Williams with us in worship. As you know, Steve and Rita serve as PCA missionaries to New Zealand. During our worship service, we will hear a report on their work and have a time of special prayer for them. You will also have the opportunity to greet and speak with them before and after worship. I would encourage you to come at 10:00 AM and meet them in the Narthex during our time of fellowship.

I love you all so very much, and I pray for you always,

Mike
