4 Great is the Lord and most worthy of praise; His greatness no one can fathom. One generation will commend your works to another; the will tell of your mighty acts. Psalm 145:3-4 WELCOME: We welcome each one who worships here today in Spirit and in Truth. May our King and God rule every heart through His Word. May our lives praise His Name every day through the living and lifestyle that is appropriate for the Christian. Please join us after this morning s service for a time of refreshment in the Fellowship Hall. Children aged 3-5 meet your teachers in the Narthex during the offering this morning for Children s Church. ABOUT OUR MESSAGES This morning: Our series in the book of Acts, King on a Mission, moves to the second missionary journey of Paul and asks the question of how belief in a sovereign God can relate with missions. As a Reformed church, we believe in a God entirely sovereign over creation and even over salvation, so how could this motivate missions? Acts 16:6-15 displays Missions with the King at the Controls. This evening: Before welcoming Jason and Lisa to share about their work in Central Asia, Pastor Drew will briefly reflect on 2 Corinthians 4:7, which speaks to the surprising power necessary for missions. OUR ANNOUNCEMENTS From the Council: This past week, our council acquiesced in the resignation of Rob Van Zee and Katie (Vanden Bos) Opp from our membership. Both of these individuals have moved away and since become involved in Christian churches in their area outside of our official church fellowship. Though they are no longer members of our church family, we give thanks for God s providence and pray for their continued spiritual growth in their new church homes!
