A Note From OUR Pastor
Bruce G. Chesser
Our annual lake baptism is coming up in just two weeks. What began as a response to COVID six years ago has become a very important annual event. If you have never followed the Lord in biblical baptism, now would be an excellent time to do so. (Biblical baptism is baptism by immersion following one’s repentance of sin and commitment to Christ as Lord of life.) Of course, we baptize almost every Sunday in any of the four morning worship services, but this outdoor opportunity has proven to be a very good option with many people. Let us know if you are interested or if you have any questions.
This morning, we are going to study Matthew 7:7-12 as we consider Jesus’ statement about prayer and what we call the “golden rule.” I pray that the Lord will use this passage to speak to every one of us.
If you are new to our church, or if I have never had the opportunity to meet you, please stop by the table in the lobby and grant me the honor of meeting you. Look for the sign that says “Meet the Pastors.”

Sunday Connect
From Senior Associate Pastor, Bruce RaleY
Today is Promotion Sunday for the NextGen ministries. The preschoolers, children, and students are promoted to their new Connect Group classes. While it is an exciting day for the kids, it sometimes produces a little anxiety for some. But we have some of the best teachers and leaders who make our Connect Groups an incredible experience week after week. Thank you to all those serving!
Several new adult Connect Groups will start over the next couple of weeks. This would be a great time to engage in a group if you are not already active in one. Stop by the Welcome Desk for help finding a group that’s right for you.
The Lake Baptism is two weeks from today. Come by the Meet the Pastors table in the lobby for more information.
It is a joy to serve you.
