Worship
!
9:30AM: Jesus again reminds us today that the Kingdom of God is truly the
upside down kingdom. Everything our world values, God seems to turn on its head.
Our world values strength, size, and authority, God values submission, serving, and
the small. We remember today that in God's kingdom, faith the size of a mustard
seed can move mountains.
!
Ushers: Rog & Teresa Beute, Carl & Jeanne Norris

!
Greeters: Arlyn & Carla Zoet, Mike & Julie Bond

CONGREGATIONAL CARE NEED: If you have a pastoral care
need or concern we encourage you to contact your elder (assigned by last
name):
Steve Rutledge (A-D)
Roger Beute (E-J)
Rob Melville (K-N)
Pattie Grooters (O-Sc)
Rhonda Kempema (Se-U)
Adam Eriks (V-Z)
Often, we come to church each week and put on our best face. We talk
about plans for the weekend and the kids and grandkids, but some of us
also carry worries about finances or maintaining homes. It is not always
easy to tell who needs an encouraging helping hand. If you know of
someone in our church family, or if you personally need some help, please
contact our Chair of Deacons, Brandon Deiter at 647-7106. Scripture
encourages all of us to carry each others burdens (Galatians 6:2). You
would bless us by letting us walk with you during this time.
!
WEEKLY PRAYER GROUPS meet on Sunday at 9:00AM in the
Prayer Room, which is located off the east side of the sanctuary and on
Wednesday nights at 6:30PM in room 202. All are welcome to attend.
Also, an elder is available to pray with you by the Prayer Room following
the morning service. Elder: Adam Eriks Next Week: Rhonda Kempema
!
PRAYER: Prayers are requested for Loren and Myra Renkema as
Loren is a patient at TenderCare Rehab in Wyoming. After numerous falls
last weekend the decision was made that he needed to receive some definite
physical therapy to help strengthen his legs. Continue to pray for those in
our congregation who deal with ongoing health problems.
!
