Prepare for Sunday

MESSAGE
This Sunday Josh Payne continues our series through Psalm 22 with a sermon from verses 22–26.

From Michael Robble...

Mark 2:15–17 tells about Jesus eating with sinners and tax collectors. His behavior enraged the scribes and Pharisees, and Jesus responded by saying, “Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. I came not to call the righteous, but sinners.” As the redeemed people of God, we have the only message—the Gospel—that can make sin-sick sinners well. This month, let’s follow Jesus’ example and eat with (or have coffee with) someone who is lost. Be a friend to someone who doesn’t know Jesus, and tell them how Jesus died and rose again to rescue us.

Also, please be praying for the Bridge Course, which is every Wednesday evening for the next two months. Pray souls will be saved for God’s glory.

FAMILY ROOM & NURSING MOTHERS ROOM
The Family Room and Nursing Mothers Room are available throughout the service for anyone who feels the need to step out of the service with a baby or young child. The Family Room has space for children to play and a livestream so parents can still watch/listen to the service. The Nursing Mothers Room is a comfortable and private room for mothers and infants; audio of the service feeds into the room. Please ask a member of the welcome team if you’d like to be directed to one of these rooms.
