God is calling us to be a church marked by Loving God Connecting People Transforming our World
June 3, 2018 Worship Service: 10:00 a.m.
I AM who I AM Rev. Don Piper will be our guest speaker this morning. His sermon will be based on the passage in Exodus 3:11-15. He is a retired pastor of the Seattle RPCNA, the Reformed Presbyterian Church of North America.
Today
Nursery: The Nursery is available downstairs for children (newborn–age 3) during the morning service. Children’s Church (ages 4-10) meets today. Teachers and helpers will be in the Lobby area to meet you. Sunday School and Catechism classes are on hiatus until the new academic year. We hope to see you in the Fall. 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 this morning. The first offering will be directed toward our Local Operating Budget (LOB), and the second Benevolence offering will go to the Back To School Consortium. 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
Message: Rev. Eric Likkel will be our speaker next week. His sermon, "Identity Theft" will be based on the passage in Galatians 3:1-5. Eric has served for the past three years as one of our Interim Pastors, and also leads a Seattle congregation at Emmaus Road Church.

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.
