Today we gathered in remembrance and gratitude as we honored those who gave their lives in service to our country during our Memorial Day tribute shared by Jesse. We are thankful for the sacrifice, courage, and freedom we have because of so many brave men and women. 🇺🇸

Thank you as well to Pastor Drew for bringing today’s message from Gospel of John 15:9-13, reminding us of Christ’s perfect love and the greatest sacrifice of all:

“Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.”

We pray everyone has a safe and meaningful Memorial Day as we remember and honor those who served. ❤️

Mother's Day Recap: We celebrate and honor the mothers, grandmothers, stepmothers, and all the women who love, guide, and care for others so faithfully. Thank you for the many ways you reflect God’s love each and every day.

A special thank you to our Children’s Ministry for leading the service this morning while Pastor Drew continues recovering from knee surgery. We are so grateful for your willingness to serve and share such a meaningful message with our church family.

The scripture reading came from Proverbs 31:25-31 — a beautiful reminder of the strength, dignity, wisdom, and love of a godly woman.

“She is clothed with strength and dignity; she can laugh at the days to come.” Proverbs 31:25 🤍

We’re grateful for the opportunity to care for and honor those who have gone before us 🤍

Next week, Dan Kehret will be bringing his power washer to the cemetery to clean his family headstones. As a courtesy, he will also be cleaning the headstones of our church’s former pastors.

If any church members would like their family headstones cleaned while he is there, Dan is happy to help. The cost will be $25 per stone.

If you’re interested or have questions, please reach out to Dan Kehret directly at 641-220-4825.
