Announcements Volunteers Needed The Howard Street Oversight team is seeking new volunteers to participate in Howard's Hospitality on Sundays.
PRAYER REQUEST Please pray for Ada Vanderwerff, who was admitted to the Emergency Room last week with severe back and abdominal pain, along with a fever. It was determined that she has diverticulitis. The doctors are hoping that it heals on its own without surgery. In the meantime—for the next two weeks —Ada will be going in every day for antibiotic infusions. Following that, they will take another CT scan to determine next steps. Please pray for Ada's healing, and praise the Lord that the pain is mostly gone. Thank you for being a praying church! Our deepest condolences to Lisa Boer and her extended family at the recent loss of her precious mother, Anneka Kamlade. Anneka died peacefully, surrounded by her children and grandchildren. Please pray for Lisa and the Kamlade family as they mourn the loss of their mother and Oma, and celebrate the life that she lived in Christ.

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.
