May grace and peace be yours in abundance!
Tomorrow we continue our theme of "A Living Hope" by looking at the first letter of St. Peter to the churches in Asia. Just as infants crave milk, we are called to desire the pure spiritual milk of the Word to grow into our salvation. We are not stagnant believers but active, living stones being built together to serve as a holy priesthood. What is the purpose of God joining us together? How will the Lord use us to build up His Church? Join us tomorrow at 9 AM as we look at these important topics. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1yrEWfNvjJXWXCqAfbcpSCh_Ojf01Sjzq/view?usp=sharing
Many thanks to those who volunteered at last Sunday's Community Shrimp Dinner. Thanks to all the helping hands, it was a rousing success! Special thanks goes out to Karen Herbert whose organizational and planning skills made this fundraiser possible! It was great to see our church family pull together for this worthwhile cause. Hopefully, we made some new friends from our surrounding neighborhoods.
Dr. John, a frequent guest of our congregation, underwent hip surgery this past Thursday. He came through the surgery well and is recovering at Oconomowoc Memorial. It is expected that he will return to Shorehaven sometime in the future. Please keep Dr John and his friend Suzzane in your prayers!
The WOW and G-Men's groups will each hold a short meeting after worship tomorrow. Afterward, the Church Council will gather in the library for their monthly meeting.
This Wednesday, we will hold our first Spiritual Gifts Bible Study at 4:30 PM (immediately following choir). Every Christian has been given supernatural gifts through the indwelling of the Holy Spirit. These are not natural talents or aptitudes, but gifts sent straight from heaven. If you wish to discover the gifts you have been given for the building up of Christ's Church, please consider attending this study. It is only 4 sessions long and will be held every Wednesday at 4:30 PM during the month of May.
The choir continues to meet on Wednesdays at 3:30 PM. We have a busy month in May, so please plan on attending as many practices as you can!
A new signup sheet for Pizza and a Prayer is in the narthex. It will be held on Thursday, May 14th at noon.
In Peace,
Pastor Mike
Heavenly Father, thank You that through Your mercy, I am part of a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, and Your own possession. Help me to stand firm on Jesus, the sure cornerstone, so that I may never be put to shame. In His name. Amen.
