Today
Resurrection Sunday Nursery: The Nursery is available downstairs for children (newborn–age 3) during the morning service. Children’s Church (ages 4-8) meets today. Teachers and helpers will be in the lobby area to meet you. Sunday School classes will NOT meet after the morning service today. Two Offerings: We will collect two offerings this morning. The first offering will be for our Local Operating Budget (LOB) and the second offering will be for Seattle Dream Church. Seattle Dream Church is a daughter church of ours, and also worships in our auditorium. They are joining us today, and we will receive an offering for them.
Next Week Sunday's Message: Don Piper will be in the pulpit as a guest pastor with a sermon entitled, "What Follows Easter?" from Luke 24:13-32. Two Offerings: During this coming week, please prepare your heart to hear the Lord’s direction on how He would want you to give for the two offerings next Sunday. The first one will be directed toward our Local Operating Budget (LOB), and the second will go to Ministry Shares. Thank you for being a prayerful and generous church body!

Getting Connected We encourage you to get connected with a community group for fellowship and mutual support. It is far too easy to simply come to church on Sunday and then slip out. We want to get to know you better, so join us! If you would like more information about any group, please contact the Church Office. Cadets (Boys grades 3-6) The goal of Cadeting is to help boys grow spiritually in all areas of life—devotional, mental, physical, and social. The Cadets meet most Wednesdays at 7:00 p.m. in Fellowship Hall during the school year. GEMS (Girls Everywhere Meeting the Savior), a club for girls in grades 3-6, meets on Wednesday evenings at 7:00 p.m. in various rooms at church. Our activities include Bible lessons, praise/worship, badges, crafts and other fun things. MAC (Made Alive in Christ) MAC Junior High students meet together most Wednesdays during the academic year. Come join the fun at 7:00 p.m. in the Multi-Purpose Room. High School Youth Group The High School Youth Group meets at 6:00 p.m. on the first and third Sundays of each month during the school year. We have a meal together and get caught up on each other's lives before learning about discipleship in Christ. Grow Groups (Adults) Grow Groups meet once a month in various homes every third Sunday from September through May. We are continuing our study of Galatians.
Couples Club (for Couples of All Ages) This groups meets one Saturday evening per month from October through May. Our last meeting of the year will be on Saturday, May 20. HOST: Brian & Ivonne Vander Vlies HELP: Eric & Dora van der Giessen Mike & Kelly Vedders Men’s Bible Study The Men’s Bible Study meets most Mondays at 7:00 p.m. in the Council Room. We use a John Stott study guide as we focus on 1st Timothy and Titus. Women's Morning Bible Study Join the Women's Morning Bible Study group on Thursdays at 9:30 a.m. Instead of working through a guidebook, we'll be reading through the book of 1 John. Come join us on in Rooms 201-202. Women’s Evening Bible Study The Women's Evening Bible Study meets most Monday evenings at 7:00 p.m. in Rooms 201-202. We are using the study guide "Embracing God's Grace— Colossians and Philemon." Please join us if you are able.
Let us think of ways to motivate one another to acts of love and good works. And let us not neglect our meeting together, as some people do, but encourage one another, especially now that the day of his return is drawing near. Hebrews 10:24-25 (NLT)

Shoreline Christian Reformed Church is a gospel and grace-centered community learning how to follow Jesus. We belong to a broader community called The Christian Reformed Church. What does this mean? We call ourselves… Christian… Because we belong to Jesus Christ and want to be his followers. Reformed… Because we’re part of the historic branch of the Christian church that follows the teachings of the leaders of the Protestant Reformation, who struggled to return Christianity to its biblical roots. Church… Because God has called us to be a fellowship of his people in the world.
