Continued prayer for peace, healing and pain relief are greatly appreciated and strength for Russell as he cares for her.”

NEW SERIES TITLE: THE CHARACTER OF GOD

BEGINNING SEPTEMBER 11^TH

If you’ve ever tried to describe what God is like, it can be difficult or even daunting. What do you say? Where do you start? What will you include or exclude in your answer?

When the people who wrote the Bible pondered the mystery of God, they consistently described God’s character in this way: “YHWH, YHWH, (that’s God’s name) a God who is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, overflowing with loyal love and faithfulness.”

First introduced in Exodus 34, this description of God is repeated over twenty times in the Old Testament! The goal of this series is to explore and understand the nature (or character) of God as depicted in this powerful and repeated statement. For 8 weeks (September 11 – October 30), we’ll unpack how each of those characteristics not only shape the story of the scriptures but also the story of our lives.

TUESDAY A.M. WOMEN'S STUDY

Join our ladies Tuesday, September 6, 10:00 AM, to meet the author of the book we studied last semester, Human AND Holy! Michelle J. Goff is also the founder of Iron Rose Sister Ministries (IronRoseSister.com), a women's ministry resource that equips women to connect to God and one another more deeply in English, Spanish, and now Portuguese! She will be traveling on her way to their first English/Portuguese bilingual event in South Florida, but looks forward to sharing birthday cake after a lesson and a few "God stories" on September 6^th as the ministry celebrates its 10^th Year Tour! 

CONGRATULATIONS

Our congratulations to Herb and Sue Underwood, who celebrated their 68^th wedding anniversary Wednesday, August 17^th. Thank you for your example to all of us.
