Healthy Family Life Sermon Series
Do you know what it takes to have a “Healthy Family Life?” A good mix of Talk, Trust, Truth, Touch, and Time. Pastor Cameron is beginning a new series May 6th on how to have healthy family relationships in a world full of dysfunction. God’s word and Spirit can enable everyone to live full and happy lives and have great family relationships. Even when we struggle with very difficult issues in our families there is GRACE to bring healing and hope. The series will continue through May; pick up a card at the Connection Counter and invite a friend to hear this valuable teaching!
Hope International Dedication
On May 14th Pastor Cameron and Kathie will go to Japan to celebrate the dedication of Hope International’s new building. God miraculously enabled them to buy this $4 million building for just $150,000! It is a tradition in Japan to give a gift at such ceremonies, and we want to bless our sister church with a generous gift to help with needed repairs & maintenance. Designate funds by indicating Hope International Fellowship on the offering envelope today so that Pastor can take the gift when they leave.
