Sermon - Jim Andrews, Pastor

Into the Lion’s Den

John 17:18-25

Word From the Pastor

“Living the dream” for us believers is not a frat life of godless sun and fun, soaking up sin, sprawled on soft, easy couches, munching on carnal chips, and sipping drinks, but daily taking up our crosses in our battle with the world, the flesh and the Devil, following joyfully after Jesus.

Ministry Spotlight

Kids Easter Celebration 2024

March 23rd marked a day like no other for it was our first venture into an exciting new Easter outreach for children and their families. Well attended and bustling with welcoming voices and Bible-era clothed volunteers, the Great Room was transformed into an imaginative New Testament city. With stations set up around the room, children went from one to the next hearing, seeing, tasting, smelling, and actively engaging with components of the Easter story. Hissing snakes slithered through the sand toward play characters as Satan engaged with Adam and Eve, resulting in man’s sinful choice and the need for Easter was explained. Scents and various aromas were explored as they heard about Mary anointing Jesus, donkeys were ridden over palms and garments, feet were washed and breads sampled as the reality of the Last Supper was presented, crowns were worn and prickly thorns felt; hammering nails rang through the air as girls and boys tried carrying a cross before visiting Jesus’ tomb and hearing of the angels’ good news that Jesus was alive. A music break helped get some wiggles out while setting the stage for a clear, child-focused sharing of the gospel message. We had asked the Lord to fill the room with His presence and fulfill His purposes for that morning and we feel He did just that.

Thank you to the many who gave of their time to help with such an important endeavor, telling others of Jesus. We would love to have you join us next year as we’re already beginning to lay down groundwork for Easter 2025. Interested? See Sharon Van Slyke.

Note: We need several easy to set-up outdoor canopies. Might you have one to donate?
