🌿 Sunday Service Invite — FBC Norwalk

There’s a kind of honesty God invites us into — a way of seeing our sin that doesn’t crush us,
but leads us to comfort, hunger, and real change.

Tomorrow at 10:30 AM, Pastor Art continues our walk through the Beatitudes with a message called:

“Attitude Toward Our Sin”
Matthew 5:4–6

If you’re longing for mercy, renewal, or a fresh start, this passage reminds us that Jesus meets us right there — in our mourning, in our meekness, & in our hunger for righteousness!

📍 First Baptist Church, Norwalk
⏰ 10:30 AM

As Jesus taught on a crowded mountainside, people gathered because they were hungry for hope, truth, and healing. That same invitation reaches us today.

Matthew 4:23–5:3 reminds us that when we come looking for Him…

We find Him! & He meets us with blessing, compassion, and life‑changing truth.

🇺🇸 TODAY, WE REMEMBER.

Memorial Day isn’t just a day off — it’s a reminder that every moment we have is a gift bought by sacrifice.

We pause to honor the men and women who laid down their lives so we could live in freedom. Their courage shapes our today and gives hope to our tomorrow.

HONOR THEIR LEGACY:
Live boldly.
Love deeply.
Keep moving forward.

Freedom means we get the chance to rise, try, and win again — every single day. May we use that freedom well.

We remember. We honor. We give thanks.
GOD BLESS! 🇺🇸
