This Sunday's Sermon and Song List

The sermon theme for this week is Beholding Christ’s Humanity. This will be a two part series from Pastor Brandon on the nature and glory of Jesus Christ. Here are some Scriptures that might prepare you and get you excited for worship:  2 Cor 3:18; 1 John 3:2; Isaiah 53:2-6; Matthew 19:13-15, 11:9 , 16:5-12, 11:15-19; Heb 2:14-17, 4:14-15 What these passages tell us is that seeing the glory of Christ clearly is the greatest means of becoming like him. Sometimes we think becoming more like Jesus takes a special "technique." Sometimes we act like it takes more knowledge, as if we can "figure it out". But what God's word tells us is that we are meant to "see" Christ and that by being amazed by him and his glory we are transformed.  Here are all the songs we'll be singing together this Sunday along with a link to a playlist so you can prepare yourself to sing out this Sunday: Christ is All The Stand Your Name My Lighthouse We created a playlist on Youtube in case you want to start listening today. You can find that by clicking HERE.

DISCOVERY ZONE Wrapped Up for the Season! Discovery Zone is all done until the Fall but that doesn't mean there won't be lots of great opportunities to gather and fellowship. Be watching for all kinds of ministry opportunities this Summer! In the meantime, take a moment to thank the Lord for all the volunteers who helped make all our Wednesday ministries a sweet time of fellowship:

COMING SOON: Summer Baptism Class for 1st-6th Grade Do you have a young person in your family asking questions about baptism? Do you just want your students to know a little more about the gospel and what it means to follow Christ? We've had a few of our younger students begin asking questions about following the Lord in baptism and we want to give them all the tools possible for understanding the meaning and importance of identifying with Christ in this way. More details will be coming out soon. As of now, we'll plan to have class on Saturday mornings (likely starting late May/early June) with donuts and conversational teaching about the gospel and baptism.

Are you able to volunteer in either area?  Greeters- Welcome people as they come in the doors and hand out bulletins.
