Nothing Sweeter

It’s hard to describe how excited I am about this upcoming Sunday and the launch of Christ Church Kids! It brought tears to my eyes as I remembered Paul’s eagerness to serve the Philippians’ progress and joy in the faith, because I have seen that same heart at work in you as you serve our children. Few things are sweeter than that.

For now, we plan to have the younger class (8 months- 2 yr) each week and the older class (3-7 yr) every 1st & 3rd Sunday. If you have children participating, please come a little earlier to get a security tag before the service. And please join in praying for God to pour out His grace through this ministry, asking that all they hear would take deep root in their little hearts and minds and would bear lasting fruit in the years to come.

Countless Blessings!

Hey Church Family,

As Thanksgiving approaches, it’s a wonderful opportunity to remember the countless things we have to thank God for, the greatest of which is the gift of His only Son so that we could be saved from our sins. We don’t ever want that to become common place to us.

And, in God’s providence, it just so happens that the next two Sundays are going to be on that glorious reality from Philippians 2:5-11. If you think of it, please pray for those messages. I feel inadequate to even begin to scratch the surface of this “Treasure”. Words fail. But I know He is eager to honor Christ and to richly bless us as His people. And because of that, let’s ask and come anticipating an encounter with Him!

I can’t wait til Sunday,
Bart

Asking God’s Spirit to Meet Us

I want to tell you how thankful I am for the clear grace of God on display each week. Eyes to see, ears to hear, and hearts to apply God’s Word are a divine gift. And that’s what is happening in our gatherings every Sunday. God is moving!!!

Towards that end, we have begun getting together in the library every Sunday prior to the meeting from 9:45-10 to pray over all aspects of the services, asking God’s Spirit to meet us as only He can. Anyone is welcome to join in that, we would love to have you! And even if you can’t make it then, let me encourage us all to use at least part of the drive in each week to pray along those lines. He is eager to bless us as we gather. So, let’s be asking!

If for some reason you miss a worship service, just know we’ll miss you, but Ron does a great job of getting the service uploaded quickly so you can stay connected. And in all things, as you’re doing so excellently, let’s press on in serving each another well!

I love this church body!

Our Thanks to Pastor Bart

How much better assurance can we, as believers, have than to be reminded of the joy we have in Jesus — even as we live through these tumultuous times of both worldwide and national crisis?

This sermon series on Philippians is the perfect, assuring antidote for these unusually challenging times.

Thank you for being a pastor who loves to preach the joys contained in the Word along with the guidance and assurances of Jesus Christ.

A Message From Pastor Bart

I loved getting to open up Philippians last Sunday! What a treasure this book’s going to be!

I mentioned on Sunday three prayer requests that I’d love for us to be praying for this series and said I’d get those out via email. So, here were the specific requests!

Please pray that the Holy Spirit would be making Jesus more glorious in our eyes, that our bond with one another would only deepen in Him and that our witness would be emboldened. Driving to church each Sunday is a great time to be lifting those things up for our gatherings.

Also, please continue to pray for our brothers and sisters in Afghanistan. My heart is burdened for them these past few days. Hebrews 13:3 says, “Remember those who are in prison, as though in prison with them, and those who are mistreated, since you also are in the body.” And we want to be heeding that for Christians who are now suffering and dying for their faith in Jesus.

Prayer always makes a difference, but there are moments when we feel just how crucial that is. So, thank you for being a church that loves to pray.
