1 Identification Statement of the Wyoming Christian Reformed Church We are the Wyoming Christian Reformed Church. Standing on the infallible Word of God, in the tradition of the Reformed faith as it s expressed in the Heidelberg Catechism, Belgic Confession and Canons of Dort, we boldly proclaim and celebrate the coming of God s kingdom in Jesus Christ. By the strength of His Spirit we gather and enfold newcomers into His covenant of grace. We teach and equip believers and their baptized children for obedient, loving service in all areas of life to the praise of our heavenly Father. Regarding Worship: Amidst the wide range of worship practices in our culture today, we maintain that worship is a meeting between God and His people in which God is praised and His people are blessed. Worship must be centered on the preaching of the word the primary means of grace. We deem it a blessing to assemble twice on the Lord s Day to praise His name. Worship is our highest calling and joy. Regarding Moral and Ethical Living: The Bible is our guide for life. It addresses the sanctity of life (Ex 20:13), the roles of men and women in the church and home (1 Tim 2:11-15; Eph 5:22-23), the proper attitude toward material possessions (1 Tim 6:3-10). In short, the Bible addresses every aspect of our lives. In our world ravaged by moral relativism, we affirm that all the principles for Christian living revealed in the Bible and summarized in the Ten Commandments, remain normative for our lives today. The church s task is to proclaim these principles and to call sinners to repentance and faith in Jesus Christ. With love and compassion, we practice church discipline and encourage penitent believers in their continual battle against the kingdom of darkness. To strengthen our identity in Christ, we seek contact and fellowship with churches of like mind.

2 Welcome to our worship services in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. If you come as a visitor today, we hope you will leave as a friend. Whether you are a newcomer to the community or to our church, we are honoured to have you here. May we all be strengthened and encouraged by the proclamation of the gospel. After the morning service, everyone is invited for coffee and juice outside. Sunday School: Children aged 3-8 are invited to go downstairs for Sunday School after the children s message and a short prayer of blessing. Parents, please feel free to follow the teachers out and ask them any questions you may have. As we obediently train children in the way they should go, may it be our prayer that they will not turn from it when they are older (Proverbs 22:6). If we can be of any service to you (if you have a prayer request or would like more information about our church and the programs we offer), please do not hesitate to get in touch with an elder or a deacon. We are here to serve each other in love. - Galatians 5:13 Craig DeBoer Brian Hoekstra Ryan Nutma Kendall VanRooyen Announcements: Ryan Nutma Hall Monitor: Craig DeBoer NEXT WEEK: Paul Huizinga NEXT WEEK: Paul Huizinga 1 JULY 2018 Sunday Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday CANADA DAY :30AM Seniors Outing VACATION BOBLE SCHOOL-July :30AM-12:00PM Offerings: July 8 AM Church, Christian Horizons PM Petrolia Food Bank, LCDS July 15 AM Church, Bible League PM Rock on Campus, Dordt College Full Council Christian Horizons empowers individuals with exceptional needs, enabling them to embrace their God-given potential and enjoy hope and opportunity in everyday living.
