His Steadfast Love

Endures Forever

Make a joyful noise to the Lord ,
all the earth!
Serve the Lord with gladness!
Come into his presence with singing!

Know that the Lord, he is God!
It is he who made us,
and we are his;
we are his people,
and the sheep of his pasture.

Enter his gates with thanksgiving,
and his courts with praise!
Give thanks to him; bless his name!

For the Lord is good;
his steadfast love endures forever,
and his faithfulness to all generations.

Psalm 100

WHERE IS GOD CHALLENGING YOU TO GROW?

WHERE is God challenging you to grow? Is it GROWING UP - growing in your faith connection to God through worship and daily devotions? Is it GROWING IN - growing in your connection to other believers by studying God's Word with them? Is it GROWING OUT - growing in connecting others to Christ by daily living out the Word?

Plan now to attend a special Sunday School class for all of our adults to explore how God is challenging us to grow up, grow in, and grow out . The classes will meet at 9:30 a.m. in the South Pod on Sundays, August 21 & 28. If there are any questions, please c ontact Pastor Mark for more information: [email protected] or by phone 946-0681.
