Greetings from Pastor John
Hi Church
We are finishing up the book 1 John this week with a summary on what it means to walk with and love God. Knowing God means we know His victory and that changes how we look at the world around us.
We will continue in 2 and 3 John in the upcoming weeks.
See you Sunday!
John

Family Discussion Starters
•How does this story reveal Jesus’ care and compassion for people?
•Why is Jesus called the Bread of Life?
•What is our greatest need and how does Jesus satisfy it?
Because God has met our greatest need in salvation through Christ, we seek to meet the needs of others— physical, emotional, and spiritual—through Jesus.
• HEAD: How does Jesus’s compassion for all people encourage and comfort you?
• HEART: Where can you confess that you’ve had a hard time having compassion for others?
• HANDS: What need can you meet in Jesus’s name in someone’s life this week?
Voices in Church History
“Let us come to Holy Communion in charity with each other and with all; determined henceforth to feel for each other, and with each other . . . so much so that God shall give us that great grace; . . . to give and forgive, even as God gives and forgives, for ever, that so we may be indeed the children of our Father in heaven, whose name is Love.”
–Charles Kingsley (1819–1875)
The last Faith Foundations class this season is May 19th
This Sunday we begin our next Read Scripture Together Bible plan in the YouVersion app. We are continuing with the Through-The-Bible ministry with Journey #3. This Journey sets up Foundations, where Genesis takes us back to our origins, Daniel delivers phenomenal prophecies, and Romans lays out the heart of the gospel. We are looking forward to reading and learning together!
