Sunday is a BIG day in the life of our church and I hope you will be able to join us. It is our annual combined worship service which means instead of having three services, we will only have one worship service at 10:00 a.m. The service will last about 90 minutes and will be followed by our all-church picnic and baptism service.
On Sunday, I am beginning a new sermon series called CHANGE U. Sunday's message is entitled JESUS ENCOUNTER. As you look at the Bible and talk to people who live today, one of the things that becomes clear is that a personal encounter with Jesus Christ results in a changed life. But the change that takes place when we choose to follow Jesus is not an end unto itself. Rather, the change that we experience when we choose to follow Christ is really just the beginning of a lifetime of spiritual change and growth. On Sunday, we are going to talk about our personal spiritual growth and change and what God desires for each of us. We will also talk about the role the church needs to play in our spiritual growth and change.
During Sunday's service, our adult choir and praise team will lead us in a meaningful time of worship. We will visit with two of our missionaries - Miriam Prabhakar from India and Nancy Derrick who works with Joyel Ministries. We will hear testimonies of God's faithfulness and changed lives. It will be a great service and I hope you will be able to join us.
The service will be held in the Otterbein Ministry Center gym. Children's ministry programs will be available (we encourage you to take advantage of them) for children up through grade 5. Click here to check out the locations if you are not sure where you children need to go. Middle and High School students will join us in the gym for the worship service.
We hope you will also stay for the lunch and baptism service that will follow. The only thing you might want to bring with you is a lawn chair if you have one.
We hope to see you on Sunday. Please pray for God to pour out His Spirit on all that we do on Sunday.
Mike
