Announcements – March 29, 2024

By AdministratorUncategorized
May the Lord bless you all on this beautiful Good Friday!
At 6:00 PM tonight, we will gather together for our annual Good Friday Service of Worship. We will reflect upon the events that took place on this day two-thousand years ago in the city of Jerusalem where our Lord and Savior freely gave His life upon the cross for our sins.  Following our tradition, we will read Scripture, pray, sing, and hear the proclamation of God’s Word regarding the necessity and purpose for the death of the sinless Son of God.
Tonight’s brief message is entitled, ‘The Language of the Cross: A Meditation On the Words of Jesus.’  We will consider several Scripture passages from Matthew’s Gospel in which we find the very words of Jesus that tell us the true meaning of His death.
Then, on Easter morning, we will gather together once again to worship our risen Lord and King.  Our sermon will come from Luke 24:13-35 and is entitled, ‘The Amazing Thing That Happened On the Way to Emmaus.’  This, of course, is the post resurrection appearance of Jesus that we discover only in Luke’s Gospel.
Let me also report on our Officer Election that was held last Sunday.  Each of the seven candidates were resoundingly elected to their respective offices by the congregation.  On Sunday April 14 we will ordain and install these brothers during our worship service.  Please pray for them and their families as they take up their duties in service of the Lord and His Church.
I look forward to seeing you tonight and again on Resurrection Day!
All my love to each of you,
Mike
