Announcements – March 8, 2024

Beloved Brothers and Sisters in the Lord,
Before we all forget, let me remind you that this Saturday night we set our clocks forward one hour. Spring is on the way, and with it comes the day when ‘Spring Forward.’
On Sunday, our study of Ezekiel chapter one will continue as we consider verses 26-28.  We will take the first of two looks at this section of Scripture where the prophet describes (as best he can) what he sees as his gaze drifts skyward to what is above the cherubim. As we will learn, this astonishing vision concludes in a most dramatic way as Ezekiel collapses under the weight of what he has encountered there in Babylon (“I fell on my face,” v. 28).
This Lord’s Day, we will focus upon the “throne” the prophet sees, and the One in “human” form who is seated there above the clouds.  Who could this be?  What does this scene tell us about the God who has delivered us?
May our Father bless you all with rest and peace this weekend, and I look forward to seeing you on Sunday morning!
All my love,
Mike
