Welcome!

Thank you for joining us to worship God, hear from his word, and be reminded of his grace.  We hope that you will be blessed and encouraged this morning.  If you are with us for the first time, please stop by the welcome center in The Commons to receive a gift and to say hello.

This Sunday, June 15

One of the oddest prophets in the Old Testament is Elisha.  He often gets confused with Elijah.  He doesn’t have a book of the Bible that bears his name.  The stories that involve him are obscure and hard to understand.  All that said, Elisha will be the focus of our summer messages.  We’ll begin this Sunday by looking at the hand off from Elijah to Elisha.

Next Sunday, June 22

There are times in our lives when everything starts to pile up and go wrong.  In times like these, it feels like we are under a curse.  And we are!  Sin has tainted every part of our lives.  But God is undoing and breaking this curse.  We are invited to join him.  Next Sunday, we will explore where the curse is being broken.

This Week’s Offering–W.I.S.H

W.I.S.H. (West Indies Self Help) partners with Haitians to build a sustainable community. It is a relief and development mission, which translates the truth of Jesus Christ into deeds that alleviate the needs of the poor, giving them the opportunity to break their entrapping cycle of poverty. Tom Larson, an FCC summer attender, has served on the board of W.I.S.H. for many years.  Next week, the offering will also be for W.I.S.H. 

Next week, the offering will also be for W.I.S.H.

Ferrysburg’s True North Adventure will take place this coming week! True North will happen from 9:00-11:30 am on the mornings of June 16-19.  Please pray daily for participants to be pointed to a relationship with Jesus and for God’s glory to be on display. Pray for energy, endurance, and guidance for our 65 volunteers.

Thank You from Dave and Diane Bennink

Dear Church Family, thank you all for the prayers, cards, flowers, love, and support you've given us these past eight plus years on behalf of our daughter-in-law, Candace.  She is now HOME, alive, face to face with Jesus, receiving the Crown of Righteousness and dancing in the streets with loved ones. May God continue to bless Tim and family as we adjust to our loss together.
