This morning we begin a new three-part sermon series looking at different aspects of God’s sovereignty in the light of our nation’s 250th birthday. How do we see different aspects of His sovereignty at play in the founding of this nation, understanding that the United States didn’t come about through ‘chance’ or ‘luck’ but through God’s purposeful design?
This evening in our sermon series going through the book of Job we hear Job make his concluding remarks of personal defense, as he recounts a life full of good deeds towards his fellow man. At the end of it we are left with an understanding that truly Job was a godly man, the sort of person we all wish we could be as Christians, which makes his suffering even more difficult to understand.
Everyone is invited to an organ concert here at church on Sunday, September 13 @ 4:00 p.m. featuring our Allen Renaissance R-350 organ. Our own church organists will present a variety of music. We will also be joined by organist Joel Gary, the technician who installed our organ. Joel is the organist at the Grand Rapids Public Museum and has been a church musician in the Grand Rapids area for 44 years. The organ will be placed in the center front of the sanctuary for all of our services on that Sunday. This concert is open to the public so please invite others to attend. Refreshments will be served immediately following the concert.
We will be having our Kick-Off event on Saturday, Sept.19 beginning @ 6:00 p.m. We will be having pizza & pop, followed by a church-wide “Signature Gathering Competition,” and then ending up with a movie at church. This is for ALL High Schoolers, as well as any friends you might want to invite along. We should be finished around 10:30 p.m. that evening. More details to follow!
