5:30-7 pm Volunteers Needed for South School Spring Fling
On the remaining Sundays in May, I will be preaching a sermon series entitled TWISTED
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

Refuge Baptism & Worship // May 20
Sundays, 9:30-10:30am
5:30 pm – FBC Sanctuary
Our May series is “The Way is Then”. Apocalyptic stories are about a lot more than gloom and doom. In this unit, youth will study excerpts of biblical apocalyptic writings in search of messages of hope, comfort, and God’s loving power. Sessions will lead young learners through passages in Isaiah, Zechariah, Daniel, Matthew, and Revelation. Accompanying session activities and discussion questions will guide youth to see beyond chaos and doubt in the texts as well as in their own lives. We will meet each Sunday except for May 13, when we will meet in the Fellowship Hall for Graduate Recognition Breakfast.
A special worship service and time of baptism! Friends and family are invited, along with our Refuge youth group and our church family as we celebrate these decisions and worship our God who changes lives!
