The second is this: “Love your neighbor as yourself. There is no commandment greater than these.” Mark 12:31
Dear friend,
How are you doing loving your neighbor? We have so many chances right now to love people. Chances to spend money on others. Chances to feed others. I pray that as you live with Jesus you seize opportunities to love others!
What makes it hard to love others? I have a long list. This week, Jesus addresses one of the biggest challenges we face in loving others. Can’t wait to see you Sunday at 9:00 or 10:30, Wednesday night at 6:30 (Study and Supper) around the Word!
Sincerely,
Pastor Timmermann
Outdoor Game Night
Friday August 21st 5:30pm!
Bring your favorite board game (tables set up under pavilion) or lawn game. Bring your own salad and dessert, we’ll have meat on the grill.
Fall Ministry
Our fall ministry will soon be here! Can’t wait to worship and follow Jesus with you!
Two key dates:
September 13th
October 11th
September 13th begins our fall schedule. We’ll gather for worship at 9:00 am and 10:45 am (not 10:30!). 10:45 worship will remain outdoors! Children will have lessons weekly. Adults will also have a few study chances. (service needs to move to 10:45 to allow the first group to mostly get out of the building before the second group arrives)
Outdoor worship will move indoors on October 11th.
We ask and encourage everyone to follow whatever the local guidelines are. We are thankful for a government exemption that allows us to gather for worship.
We have a good opportunity to love others. Please be considerate. If we all are, we’ll all benefit.
We can honor our leaders - all of them; local, state, and federal.
Thank you!
