May 6
sisters and brothers from Familia Cristiana Internacional will join us as we celebrate our long and rewarding partnership. This will also be Children’s Day, featuring our children’s
LOVE — FAMILY SECRETS, LIES AND HEARTACHES. We will be examining the painful stories of King David’s family failures. I am always startled to discover that in approximately 3,000 years, family dysfunction has not changed. We will explore unaddressed anger and family secrets as well as bullying and controlling behavior. Perhaps most challenging of all, one sermon will address rape and abuse, and how to survive such trauma. When we pay close attention, God’s Word has liberating truth for families caught in cycles of hurt and destruction. As Christ’s church, we are called on to bring the Good News, telling our bruised and broken world, “Come see what love can do.”
Grace,
Doyle
