Stories from Matthew 9
During Lent we explored the healing miracles of Jesus in Matthew 8 & 9. There were some stories in Matthew 9 we did not cover, so for the next few weeks we will continue through Matthew 9 leading up to our Summer Kick-off on May 28. We will look more deeply at who Jesus is, why he came, and the ways in which he invites us to join in his kingdom movement. We'll explore the Jewish Messianic expectations of the 1
st
century, how those expectations were accurate in some ways and misguided in others. We'll be challenged to ask ourselves in what ways might our own Messianic expectations of Jesus be misguided by our own presuppositions and broken desires? How do we join Jesus in living the full kingdom life he came to inaugurate?

Summer Kick-Off
Join us for our Summer Kick-off on May 28. We will celebrate our children and youth who are "graduating" into a new season of life. We will do this at our Sunday morning service at 10am where we will also begin a series on Joy and Phronéō - A Way of Thinking, Feeling and Acting, as we jump back into Philippians to wrap up that series. After the service we will have a potluck and celebrate baptisms at the home of Brian and Stacey Kaplan. Mark your calendars. We hope to see you there!
