God is calling us to be a church marked by Loving God Connecting People Transforming our World
July 2, 2017 Worship Service: 10:00 a.m.
Pastor Brian Turnbull will continue our sermon series on Outreach. His sermon, "While You Are Going ... Hear Me? Going!" taken from Matthew 28:16-20, will challenge us to reach our community and world for Christ, based on the foundational power of God's Word.
Today
Nursery: The Nursery is available downstairs for children (newborn–age 3) during the morning service. Children’s Church (ages 4-10) will NOT meet today. We will see you next week. Sunday School and Catechism are on hiatus until the new academic year. We hope to see you in September! Communion: We will celebrate the Lord’s Supper together today. We welcome you to the table, whether you are a member or visitor, if you have searched your heart and can make the following statements: • I recognize that I am a sinner and I am genuinely sorry for all my sins. • I trust in Jesus Christ as my only Savior and Lord, and I earnestly desire to live my life in obedience to him. • I have made public profession of faith in Jesus Christ, and I am a member in good standing of His church. Two Offerings: We will collect two offerings today. The first offering will be directed toward our Local Operating Budget (LOB), and the second Benevolence offering will go to Shoreline Community Care. Cookie Social: We will enjoy our monthly cookie social after the morning service. Thanks to those of you who brought treats to share.
Next Week
Sunday's Message: Eric Likkel will continue our teaching series on Outreach, with a sermon entitled, "Repent, Be Baptized, Believe & Begin" based on the passage in Acts 2:36-41.

The PST is comprised of the following dedicated people: Co-Chairs: Jeff Boersema / Karen Heys; Kendra Buist, John DeKoekkoek, Mandy Faber, Wolter Korf, Dan Kredit, Jan Vander Linden, Pete Van Dyke, and Sue Visser. If you have a potential candidate in mind or would like to contact the team, please send an email to them at pastorsearch@seattlecrc.org.

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 are currently on summer break, and will resume in September. GEMS (Girls Everywhere Meeting the Savior), a club for girls in grades 3-6, meets during the school year on Wednesdays at 7:00 p.m. Our activities include Bible lessons, praise/ worship, badges, crafts and other fun things. The girls are enjoying summer break, and will meet again in the Fall. 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. We've concluded our year, be we will see you in September! High School Youth Group During the school year, we meet on the first and third Sundays each month at 6:00 pm. We have a meal together and get caught up on each other's lives before learning about discipleship in Christ. We are done for the year, but look forward to a new year together in the Fall.
Couples' Club (for Couples of All Ages) This groups meets one Saturday evening per month from October through May. We are currently on summer break, but we look forward to seeing you in the Fall. If you would like to learn more about this group, you may contact the Church Office. Men’s Bible Study The Men’s Bible Study meets most Monday evenings at 7:00 p.m. in the Council Room. We will continue to meet during the summer months, focusing on 2nd Timothy. Women's Morning Bible Study Meeting from September through May on most Thursday mornings, we gather to study the Word and encourage one another. We've now concluded the year, and will be enjoying a few months off during the summer. See you in the Fall! Women’s Evening Bible Study The Women's Monday Evening Bible Study has wrapped up the year of studying Colossians and Philemon. After a summer break, we will reconvene in September. We look forward to reconnecting then and starting up a new study!
Grow Groups (Adults) Grow Groups meet once a month in various homes every third Sunday from September through May. Now on hiatus, we look forward to seeing you in September.
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…
Church…
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. Because God has called us to be a fellowship of his people in the world.
