Church Family
Praise the Lord! Everything went really well.
The medical staff sedated Frank a lot and the
local lasted a very long time. He slept a
lot on Monday, had no pain and no bleeding.
He was discharged on Tuesday. So things are
good so far. Thanks for all your prayers.
Frank and Margaret.
This evening: Last month’s first Taize-style
prayer service was well received by those who
attended. Comments like, “reverent,” “Christian” and sensing the Presence of God, were
made following it. If you haven’t had the opportunity to attend such, tonight we’ll host
our second one. Prayers in quiet, silence,
song, Scripture read aloud, prayers of intercession spoken aloud: these are what we can
expect.
The offering for Home Missions will be collected at the end of the service by the Deacons at the back of the church.
Gert W returned home this week, for which
we give thanks.
Quite a few of us are dealing with aches and
pains, personal crises, adjusting to new
homes, challenged by raising children of all
ages. May God give wisdom, grace, and a
deepening awareness that we are not alone.

Today we complete the message series on
forgiving one another.

12, the obstacles that keep us from fully
knowing the realities of God’s kingdom
which is breaking into the earth. Next week,
Luke 12:13-21; Jesus warns how possessions
can keep out the fruit of God’s reign.
This morning we witness and celebrate the
baptism of Gerrit Benjamin, son of Deen and
Tamara K.
The offering this morning is for Church Ministries.
The offering in the evening is for Home
Missions.
Gifts received for this evening’s offering will

Reformation
This week we mark Reformation by remembering our
reformed identity and celebrating the ways God continues to work in the church today. We are always
reforming, imagining new ways to share the old story. This week, pray for wisdom and energy to infuse
Home Missions' church planters, campus ministers,
regional leaders, and other ministry partners engaged in the exhausting and exciting work of sharing
the good news of God's grace. To pray by name for
ministry partners in your area, visit crhm.org.

Prayer Request from Dan and Marilyn Wilson
Missionaries who are in the areas that are
being attacked by ISIS are asking to be showered in prayer. ISIS has taken over the town
they are in. He said ISIS is systematically going house to house to all the Christians and
asking the children to denounce Jesus. He
said so far not one child has. And so far all
have consequently been killed. But not the
parents. The UN has withdrawn and the missionaries are on their own. They are determined to stick it out for the sake of the
families - even if it means their own deaths.
They are very afraid, have no idea how to
even begin ministering to these families who
have seen their children martyred. Yet he
says he knows God has called them for some
reason to be His voice and hands at this
place at this time. Even so, they are begging
for prayers for courage to live out their vocation in such dire circumstances. And like the
children, accept martyrdom if they are called
to do so. These brave parents instilled such a
fervent faith in their children that they chose
martyrdom. Please surround them in their
loss with your prayers for hope and perseverance.

Church Doors
On Sunday mornings would the last person
in the church make sure that all the doors
have been closed (and locked).
Whenever you have an event at the church
also make sure the doors are locked after you
leave (and monitor the doors during your
event since others may enter the church
while doors are unlocked).
Dishwasher
When washing the plastic glasses make sure
another tray is on top so the glasses don’t
float during the wash cycle.
