Good morning, church family and guests!
Please be advised that despite the wintry weather, the Elders have decided that church plans will go forward as usual. We understand that some of you may be snowed in and, therefore, prevented from attending, and so we encourage you to make use of our livestream: https://www.salemurc.org/live

Today we welcome Rev. Curt VanDyken of the West River Road Reformed Church of Cambridge.

If you are able to attend church, we advise you to pack a lunch and plan to stay for the afternoon, as it looks like the snow might be the thickest from around 10 - 3 or so.

Let us be in prayer for a safe and edifying Lord's day!

Lord’s Day 8 of the Heidelberg Catechism, a trustworthy 16th century document that teaches the core doctrines of the Christian faith. 📚

Q. How are these articles divided?

A .Into three parts: God the Father and our creation; God the Son and our deliverance; and God the Holy Spirit and our sanctification.

Q. Since there is only one divine being, why do you speak of three:
Father, Son, and Holy Spirit?

A. Because that is how God has revealed himself in his Word: these three distinct persons are one, true, eternal God.
