Weekly Bulletin: 2022-06-29
Dear Church,
I hope you will be with us this Sunday we start the July 4th weekend in the best way: with the church gathered, the Word of God opened, and the Lord’s Table observed. Lord willing, I will be preaching from Hebrews 10, where the writer exhorts his readers to hold fast the profession of their faith and not put off the assembling of themselves together. This, I think, is one of the more critical passages to keep at the forefront of our minds.
At the close of our service, we’ll partake of the Lord’s Supper and remember the incredible lengths our Savior went to redeem and rescue us from sin. As a reminder, there will be no evening service this week due to the holiday weekend. I pray you’ll join your church family for worship and fellowship this Sunday.
See you then!
Blessings 🙏 Pastor Brad
