Continued from page 1 – enjoying the journey
through Christ, we overcome, anchoring ourselves in Jesus’ unshakable peace.
Our Laity Sunday was a highlight, filled with heartfelt testimonies, joyful music, and a lively potluck lunch. Your laughter and dishes nourished our souls and strengthened our bonds— thank you for making it a day of joy and connection!
Now, as we carry Easter’ s hope forward, I’ m excited to launch our new sermon series, What’ s Next? Grounded in Acts 2:42-47, this series tackles the questions,“ What do we do with Easter?” and“ How do we live now that Easter has passed?” It’ s a call to embody our tagline, You Belong Here, as we care for one another and welcome those beyond our walls. Over the coming weeks, we’ ll explore how the resurrection shapes our lives and mission.
We’ ll start on the Road to Emmaus, where Jesus meets us in our doubts, reminding us that You Belong Here in His presence.
Then, we’ ll consider passing on our faith, sharing the gospel with authenticity. The series will urge us to be devoted to one another, fostering a community where everyone knows You Belong Here. We’ ll conclude with the Great Commission, boldly carrying Christ’ s love outward, inviting others to discover they, too, belong here.
Acts 2:42-47 shows a church alive with purpose— sharing, praying, and growing as others are drawn in. That’ s our vision. What’ s Next? challenges us to live out Easter’ s power in how we love and serve, showing the world You Belong Here. Whether welcoming a newcomer or helping a neighbor, every step counts.
Join this series with open hands and open hearts. Bring a friend, engage in a small group, or serve. Let’ s live You Belong Here with joy, trusting the God who raised Jesus to lead us into a hope-filled future, carrying His peace to all.
The invitation extended by Jesus to his earliest disciples continues to be offered to us,“ Follow me.” Will we extend that invitation to others? We may not always know where we are going, but we know whom we are following. God is faithful. Therefore, we expect great things and we are certain we will
enjoy the ride!
Blessings!
