Good afternoon, church family!
Let’s prepare for Sunday with this question: What is in your insides?
Literally - a bunch of organs, muscles, fat, blood, tissue and… lunch. But that’s not what I’m asking.
What is within you? Jesus reminded us that what comes out of us is often an indication of what we’ve let in.
“But what goes out of the mouth comes from the heart. And that’s what contaminates a person in God’s sight.”
-Matthew 15:18
Our journey through the book of Daniel takes us to chapter 4 this Sunday, where we’ll take a closer look at what’s inside Daniel and what’s inside King Nebuchadnezzar. The result has astonishing implications for both – especially the king, who is physically transformed into what he really is! We’ll go all the way back to Genesis for some context and compare this story to an animated Disney movie (it’s, in fact, my favorite animated movie of all time!).
I’d encourage you to read ahead. Check out Daniel, chapter 4 for the full story so that you’re prepared to dive in and experience the Word of the Lord together when we gather as a church.
Also, this is the fifth Sunday of the month, so we’ll have all the kids with us in the sanctuary (our cry room will be available for the littlest ones, if needed). We’ll have activity packs for all the kids, and they’ll have a special opportunity to help us lead worship!
This Sunday is also the final day for Pastor Nate Boone and his wife, Jessica, as they begin their transition into a new ministry opportunity. We’ll have a Sweet Sendoff in the form of a farewell reception immediately after the morning worship service. Everyone is welcome to join us for one more chance to say goodbye and bless the Boones with cards, gifts, handshakes and hugs.
All are welcome to join me in the Prayer Room Sunday at 8:30 a.m. to start the morning with prayer. We’ll have doughnuts and coffee in the café, followed by Sunday School classes at 9 a.m. Our Sunday morning worship service starts at 10:30. See you Sunday!
Your pastor,
Billy Byler
ONLINE: If you’re unable to join us in person, please consider connecting through our live, online streaming of the Sunday morning worship service starting at approximately 10:25 a.m. on our YouTube Channel: youtube.com/
