kids can learn a new skill or get better at something they already know. What’s some-
thing that you love doing... Sewing, Fishing, Woodworking, Dance, Baking, Gardening,
Sports, Jewelry Making? We need YOU to lead a workshop. Your passion
is contagious. Talk to Pastor Joe for more info about how and where you can serve.
Due to many allergies in our congregation
and so that all can partake in communion,
starting today we will be providing gluten-
free bread during our communion services.

perfectly - No death or suffering.
Genesis 3:17-19 - The punishment
for sin is death. Due to sin, the world
is no longer perfect.
Romans 5:12 - Because our mutual
grandfather, Adam, sinned, we now
sin too.
Romans 3:23 - We need to realize
that all are sinners, including
ourselves.
Romans 10:9 - We must trust in
Jesus Christ as the One who died in
our place, paying the punishment for
our sin on the cross; resurrected in
victory over death.
Ephesians 2:8-9 - For by grace are
you saved through faith and not of
yourselves. It is a gift from God, not
