Weekly Bulletin: 2023-06-07
“But you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God the heavenly Jerusalem, and to innumerable angels in festal gathering, and to the assembly of the firstborn who are enrolled in heaven, and to God, the judge of all, and to the spirits of the righteous made perfect, and to Jesus the mediator of a new covenant, and to the sprinkled blood that speaks a better word than the blood of Abel” (Heb. 12:22-24).
Worship with us this Sunday, June 11, at 10 AM as we near the end of our study of the book of Hebrews. Join us as we open the Word of God and gather in reverence and awe and gratitude for the unshakable Kingdom of God we’ve inherited by faith. Also, be sure to be in your spots as we are encouraged by a special baptismal service immediately following the morning service! Be encouraged as we celebrate and welcome new members into the community of faith 🙌
Blessings 🙏 Pastor Brad
