It’s a new year and I’ve decided to try to make this little church blog a weekly feature. I’ve recruited some help from Dan Szepesi and set a goal to keep the church website more active and up to date. For today let me try to just update you on where we are at this point in 2021.
We’ve started into a new book of the Bible on Sunday mornings! A couple of weeks ago we finished the book of Philippians and this week I will be preparing the third sermon in our series through Galatians. Galatians will be a wild ride. This epistle is passionate, interesting, deeply theological, and profoundly practical. I hope you’ll come excited to hear from God and grow with us in our knowledge of the gospel.
We have also begun Sunday evening worship. Sunday is the Lord’s day and we are blessed to be able to worship twice now on Sundays. The evening worship is a little different from the morning worship in that we have included a few new things. For one, we will be learning a new psalm each month so we can begin to incorporate more psalm singing into our regular worship. We’re also spending 52 weeks in the Heidelberg catechism this year with a small section read aloud each week. The rest of the liturgy is changed up somewhat, too.
The most important thing happening on Sunday nights is the preaching of the word. In January we have been been laying a foundation for Genesis. So far three of those five sermons have been preached. If you’ve missed them I’d like to encourage you to look for the link on the sermons page and give them a listen. If you’re more video-oriented than podcast-oriented you can find them on the church Facebook page. Just look for the Sunday night live-streams.
This year looks to be a busy and exciting year for our church. I hope you will be as much a part of it as you can. If you’re not a member we’d love for you to come visit! God bless and see you Sunday!
