Announcements – March 14 2014

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

This coming Lord’s Day our study of the life and times of Joseph will come to a conclusion as we consider how his story ends on the triumphant note of reconciliation. We will be looking at two texts from the Book of Genesis: 45:1-11 and 50:15-21. As we examine these passages of Holy Scripture we will be amazed at the way the Lord puts this broken family back together again. We will see the reconciling love of God flowing freely from the heart of Joseph to his brothers–the very ones who had hated him, plotted his death, and eventually sent him packing way off to Egypt! We will also discover how the healing of this profoundly broken family was brought about, and how, in the end, we are pointed toward the reconciling love of God in Christ Jesus. Take some time this weekend to meditate on these texts, and thank you for your faithful prayers for the proclamation of God’s Word.

Men’s Spring Bible Study

Men, don’t forget to sign-up for our upcoming Men’s Bible Study to be held on six Sunday nights beginning on March 29 at 5:00 PM. Our studies will be based on the book, Spiritual Disciplines for the Christian Life by Dr. Donald Whitney. Full details and the sign-up list will be available in the Narthex.

Holy Week Services

Easter Sunday is April 5, and for the first time ever we will have worship services on Maundy Thursday and Good Friday. Both services will start at 6:00 PM and will last no more than one hour.

Dedication Day

Also, be sure to put April 19 on your calendars. This is the Sunday we will officially dedicate our new Church building! Worship will begin at 10:30 AM, and there will be no Sunday School. Watch for more details to follow.

May our Lord bless you all most richly, and I can’t wait to see you on Sunday morning!

All my love and prayers to each of you in Christ our Savior,

Mike
