5 Things to Know This Week


May today be a day that you are focused so finely on Jesus and what he wants to do in your life! May he give you his wisdom and comfort that only he can give! May God's peace wash over you like a nice warm shower after a long cold Muskegon winter day!

1. Change for Nicaragua - Please check out the water jug in the entryway to church for mission trip to Nicaragua. Jessica Ribbens and Osha Towers are participating! Ask them lots 
of questions about it!

2. Baked Potato Bar, this Sunday January 26 at Noon - After the worship service we will have lunch together! Yay, food! Bring the item you signed up to bring or just bring a dessert. Never can have too many of those!

3. Sunday Video - Here is a link to "Bill the Church Hopper" that we hoped to watch this past Sunday. Remember that Sunday is not about "maximizing your church experience!" It is about Jesus! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S8i_hPD2cjs

4. Sunday - Let's talk about preaching! What goes into making a good sermon? What makes a good preacher? Why do we need a sermon anyway? Let's dig in this Sunday on "Preaching Vertical"! (2 Corinthians 4:1-6)

5. Prayers - Think of this before you pray for some recent needs today: "It's hard to maintain a rotten attitude while on your knees."
  • Sheri Caughey (friend and co-worker of Sue DeBoer) is battling breast cancer. She is in the chemo phase and has had to be hospitalized as her labs have fallen to critical levels. Please pray for her strength, increased white count, her family (2 children/husband). 
  • The DeColores weekend stars Thursday. Pray for the men who will attend such as Bill Essenberg and the staff like Tim Bosma who is the head cook.
  • Randy VanDonkelaar's brother passed away. The family is friends of Nancy and Tim Bosma.
  • Pam Williamson has a new job and the issues with her unemployment pay have been resolved. YAY!
  • Ruth and Reyes' co-workers and others who going through troubling times. 
  • Our national leaders and our troops. Pray that God protect them and grant them HIS discernment.
  • Becka Commans (Kadnece Ribbens boyfriend's 14 year old sister) She has been suffering from a migraine for over two weeks. This morning she collapsed at home with a severe headache. Please pray for relief and answers to why this keeps happening. 
  • Pray for the many families that are going through divorce.
  • Pray for many conflicts in families and friendships that only Jesus can bring peace and reconciliation.
