I know that this is not how many people want to celebrate Mother's Day. Yet, this is exactly how some want to celebrate Mother's Day. Whatever your family situation may be today, we want you to know that as a church, we want to be here for you, to celebrate with you, to grieve with you, to pray with you. You do not need to be alone during this time. If you need a listening ear, or a prayer, or just some encouragement, please do not hesitate to call the church. Phones and voicemails are being transferred to our homes, and we will do our best to get in touch with you.
Whatever today might bring, we invite you to join us as we worship together online. We are beginning a new series: What Is God Up To? We will begin looking at Habakkuk by exploring chapter 1.1-5. May the time of worship together bring you comfort, hope, laughter, joy and a sense of peace today and in the week ahead.
Because of Christ, and in His Grace,
Pastor Bill

Habakkuk 1:1-5

Lost & Found
June 28, 2020 • Robin Stuber • Luke 15:8–10
This week we look at a very short “treasure” buried in the parables of the lost. Jesus is renewing the mind through a “parable.” This is a real-life example of a common practice in that day that spoke to them and still speaks to us! Jesus is so smart!!
A Certain Joy In Uncertain Times
June 21, 2020 • Bill Williamson • Habakkuk 3:17–19
Father's Day - a time of celebration for many, but also a time of sadness for some. It is meant to be a joyful day, but for many it has every other emotion except for joy. Today, as you worship, no matter what your situation is like with your dad or your child, look to the one who is your Heavenly Father. No parent on earth is perfect. No parent on earth can give us all that we need. Only God, Abba, can fully be for us and give to us what we need. He knows our pains and our joys. As we finish looking at and listening to Habakkuk, it is a time for rejoicing. Life may not always be fair. Life may not be as you had imagined. Life may not always be filled with laughter. Yet, may we choose to rejoice in God, the Lord of our Salvation.
A Revival of Mercy
June 14, 2020 • Bill Williamson • Habakkuk 3:1–16
As we continue with Habakkuk this morning, we listen in on the prayer of Habakkuk. Habakkuk knows that God's wrath is coming - the Chaldeans/Babylonians are going to invade Judah and destroy their land and take the Israelites captive. Yet, Habakkuk does not give up on the God of Redemption. Habakkuk prays for mercy in the midst of God's wrath. As God was merciful in the past, so Habakkuk asks God to merciful once again. Habakkuk recalls many ways God worked in the past - and he knows that the God of yesterday is the same today and tomorrow. As you listen to the prayer of Habakkuk, allow God to remind you of the ways He has been merciful to you and to our church. As we watch all that happening in our world, and particularly in the cities and streets of our country, ask God to be merciful once again. Ask God to bring about a Revival of Mercy in us, in our church, in our city, country and world.
