Today’s Prayer

Blessed are those you choose and bring near to live in your courts! We are filled with the good things of your house, of your holy temple. —Psalm 65:4 (NIV)

Dear heavenly Father, thank you for filling us with the desire to come into your church to worship you at this time.  Thank you that this country practices religious freedom so we are free to worship you in the church of our choice.  Thank you for a pastor who fearlessly presents your true and unabridged word at every worship service.  Thank you for the fellowship we are blessed with by worshiping with others who share our belief and who build each other up.  Thank you for all the blessings that are ours from spending a little time in your house.  Please, encourage us to tell others to come and join us.  In the precious name of Jesus we pray.  Amen.

 

Welcome!

Today we have the privilege to publicly welcome new communicant members into our midst! We welcome Matt and Courtny Kelly, whose son Cody was baptized here in February, by profession of faith and confirmation. Paige and Hailey Lulinski, who transferred in with their mom Stacy last year, we welcome by confirmation. Please introduce yourself to them and pray that we at Living Water may be a blessing and encouragement to their faith in our Savior God.

Summer Bible Class

Our summer series for Sunday morning Bible class begins today. These classes are designed to be shorter (around 30 minutes), and the content is structured so that entire families can attend, from children to great-grandparents. We'll review key characters and accounts from the Old Testament, better understanding God's salvation history and applying these accounts to our modern lives. If you don't regularly attend Bible class, this is a great way to try it out! There is never any pressure to read or talk out loud; just grab a drink and snacks and sit with us as we find answers in God's Word.
