4 God is a Spirit and those who worship Him, must worship Him in Spirit and in Truth. John 4:24 WELCOME: We welcome all who sincerely worship here with us.

Please join us after this morning s service for refreshments in the Fellowship Hall. We welcome Reverend Duane Tinklenberg to our pulpit today.

Children aged 3-5 meet your teachers in the Narthex during the offering this morning for Children s Church. ABOUT OUR MESSAGES In our morning service this week, we look at Mark 13: As we watch for signs that summer is coming, we as believers may look at the signs of the times as the birth pains of the coming kingdom of God. This evening, we will watch a visual parable in Hosea 3, which prompts the personal question, Can God really love me like this? PRAYERS AND PRAISES This past week, the body of our sister Harriet Meyerink was laid to rest here in Platte. In sorrow we extend our sympathies to the Meyerink family, and we pray that the God of all comfort and His resurrected Son would be our common refuge in this time.
