This Coming Sunday: July 3, 2022

Welcome to July Everyone!

The greatest freedom that anyone can have is freedom in Christ!  Nothing apart from him offers freedom from the consequences of our sin.  What a great gift our Father has lavishly poured over us!  

As we approach Independence Day, we certainly have reason to celebrate as a country.  Not only are we free to assemble and worship God, over the past week the United States Supreme Court released two landmark rulings worthy of celebrating!  They ruled that a high school football coach, Joe Kennedy, has the freedom to pray on the field after games.  

While that is HUGE news, even more attention was given to the Dobbs Decision, which overturned the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision that provided federal protection for abortions.  As I mentioned in worship this past Sunday, I am overjoyed that life is protected in the womb!  This is a very delicate issue, but God is our giver of life and as His children we should work hard in all areas to protect life.

Looking towards Sunday, we will read Philippians 1:19-30 where we come across one of the many very famous quotations that are all over this small and powerful New Testament book.   I hope you will be able to join us in person!

Peace, 

Joel
