The Lord is near to the broken-hearted and saves the crushed in spirit. Psalm 34:18
Dear friend,
I know last week was a snowy one that kept many of us home. If you missed the sermon, check it out here.
We had a good message this last week on who we work for. Who are you working for?
This week, we’ll get new power for our work. Power is something we all need. It's too easy to run out of power to get everything done.
Thank you for following the relevant local guidelines for health. We had about 30 at 9 am and about 20 at 10:45, so there is lots of space! Join us.
Sincerely,
Pastor Timmermann
The Hands of Passion
Lenten services beginning February 17th at 6:30 pm
Everywhere we look, we see hands at work. In the passion of Jesus, there are many hands.
What are your hands doing?
Admit, heal, and do things differently with your hands.
Join pastor (we will not share pulpits in 2021) for Lenten services at 6:30 pm starting February 17th. We’ll culminate our services on April 1st with Maundy Thursday and April 2nd with Good Friday.
