Sunday, November 11 | 12:30 PM

Do you have a burden for children in vulnerable situations? Have you ever wondered if anyone else here does? Have you been looking for support or encouragement in your commitment to care for the fatherless? Or just wondered how to take the first step? Please join us for an informal but important lunch in the CLC (rooms 1 & 2) on Sunday, November 11, after the morning worship service. We hope to identify interest, build connections, share ideas and spend some time in prayer together as we seek to better understand where we are and how we might grow as a church in faithfully practicing "pure and undefiled religion" (James 1:27) through adoption, foster care, mentoring, supporting those who do, etc. Lunch is provided. Please RSVP to Dave Baxter.

 

 

Kevin DeYoung's New Book

Kevin's book The Ten Commandments: What They Mean, Why They Matter, and Why We Should Obey Them has just come out. Several copies of this book are available at the Book Nook in our lobby or you can purchase it at Crossway, Amazon, and other online retailers. Here is a brief description:

Are the 10 Commandments still relevant today? Do they still apply? Which ones? What do they mean in light of God's mercy revealed in Jesus? Highlighting the timelessness and goodness of God's commands, Pastor Kevin DeYoung delivers critical truth about the 10 Commandments as he makes clear what they are, why we should know them, and how to apply them. This book will help you understand, obey, and delight in God's law - commandments that expose our sinfulness and reveal the glories of God's grace to us in Christ.
