A Short Message To Get You Excited For Sunday’s Worship Service.
Planted By Streams of Water
In Psalm 1, there are two paths. The path of decay found in those who walk according to the council of the wicked, who stand in the way of sinners, and sit in the seat of scoffers. On the other hand, we have the path of growth found in those who meditate on the law of the Lord, day and night, who are like a tree that produces fruit in its season, and whose leaf does not wither.
What is the differentiation between these two paths? It's found in verse two: delighting in the Law of the Lord.
This Sunday, we will examine these two paths in more detail, and see how each step compounds on the last, and where the two paths end up. We will also look at what it means to delight in the Law of the Lord, and how to be like that tree, planted by streams of water.
See you Sunday at 10:00 AM for Bible class, and 11:00 AM for worship!

Please pray for this position and for our congregation and for the search committee that will be formed in the coming days.

If you’d be willing to teach, sub, or help, please see Scott Trent. We have a wonderful opportunity to teach God’s Word to our children. Let’s make sure they get our very best! Thank you!
Greeting Card Ministry
Every Sunday there are cards spread out on a table in the auditorium, right in front of the nursery window, which will be sent out to various church members and guests who need encouragement. You can help serve and encourage by making sure to sign these cards each week.

We will have “Get Well” cards, “Thinking of You” cards, “Praying For You” cards, and “Sympathy” cards.
