Coming Up Sunday, June 23

During our worship service this Sunday, we will welcome back our team from their mission trip to Joplin, MO and Fayetteville, AR.  We will also have a special moment at the beginning of the service welcoming those young people who are 'graduating' from the Children Worship & Wonder program to worshiping with everyone in the sanctuary -- which is a big step for them.  (We will also do this next Sunday, in an attempt to accommodate summer travel schedules.)

We will also continue our sermon series on lessons that Christians today can learn from the early church as it is described in the Acts of the Apostles.  Last week, we considered the lessons from Peter and John healing a lame man in the name of Jesus.  This week, we'll talk about how they explain that miraculous healing -- as a fulfillment of prophecy.  In fact, they teach that Jesus, as God's chosen Messiah, is the fulfillment of all of the prophets' teaching.  In "An Abundance of Prophets," we'll consider the unifying message of all the prophets that Peter identifies.
