How God Leads (New series starts 4/19/09)

messagenews1
  • Have you ever wondered what God’s will for your life, or for a specific situation, is?
  • Do you want to learn How God Leads?
  • Would you like to be better at knowing how to follow God’s lead in your life?
  • Do you know someone else who may benefit from this information in his or her life?

Starting Sunday (4/19/09), we will delve into this issue in a new series titled: How God Leads. I hope you can be here, and I encourage you to invite others as well.

 

I love being your pastor,

Cameron

Upcoming Sundays

flower2c

This Sunday Pastor Cameron will be in South Carolina with our sister church, New Day SC, so Graham McKeague will preach, continuing the series “Looking at Jesus.” It will be great and you don’t want to miss it!

Next Sunday is Easter–the celebration of Jesus’ resurrection from the grave. This is a very special day as we celebrate christ’s victory over death.

We will have a Sunrise service at Mt. Home cemetary at 6:45 AM. Graham McKeague and Jerry Burch will lead this service.

Our regular Sunday morning service will also be special.  We will begin with “break-FEST” from 9:45 AM to 10:15 AM, with pastries (fresh from the Yoder bakery–come on time so you don’t miss out!), juice and coffee for all in the family room area.  Then Carrie Miller will open the service with a special song she has written for Easter.  Children will then be dismissed for Children’s Church and Pastor Cameron will teach on “Jesus, My Resurrection.”  After the teaching, we will celebrate Easter with worship!  This will be a wonderful time to celebrate with one another, from regular members to first time guests!
