3 offer you bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God this is your spiritual act of worship (Romans 12:1b). As we gather for worship we give ourselves to the One who gave himself for us. May God bless you this morning and may you bless him with worship that is sincere and genuine in the power of the Holy Spirit. This morning Pastor Michael will conclude his series on the 5 Solas with Soli Deo Gloria to God Alone Be the Glory using Romans 6: In addition, in a very fitting end to this series, we will also have the privilege of coming to Lord s Table to receive Christ s righteousness by grace through faith in the bread and juice. All who are sorry for their sins and acknowledge that their hope and assurance rests in Christ alone are welcome to participate. Pastor Michael s sermon discussion class meet in the Fireside Room after the service. All are welcome to our final conversation on the 5 solas! Next week, we will welcome Mrs. Carol Veldman-Rudie to our pulpit. Carol is a licensed exhorter in Classis Lake Superior and part of the denominational Connections Project. Please make her feel welcome. Pastor Michael will be out of the office Wednesday Saturday of this week to attend the Board of Trustees Meeting at Dordt College. If you have a pastoral need please contact your Shepherding Group Elder or Deacon. Following the worship service next Sunday, the 15 th, there will be a congregational meeting to discuss and vote on the new position of Associate Pastor of Youth and Discipleship that the Council has recently endorsed. That job description is in your mailboxes this morning. If you are unable to attend that meeting you are welcome to submit an absentee ballot which will be available in the church office.
