This week’s Worship Theme – Truth Never Changes
We live in a world that is changing where black and white is not always so clear but constantly being challenged. Truth is no longer absolute for many but what they would like it to be. Honesty and respect for what is right and rejection of what is wrong is a foreign language to some. Spoiler alert! We gather here today on the rock solid truth for time and for eternity – Jesus is the forgiver of sin to all those who believe in Him. It is the black and white message of the Bible. It is the truth that never changes. We can trust Jesus all the way to heaven.

SUNDAY SCHOOL TEACHERS NEEDED
The new Sunday School season will begin Sunday, September 10th and we are in need of teachers to instruct our children in God’s Word. Training is available and shadowing is welcome. Please contact Pauline Blades at if you are interested or have any questions.

Contact info is available in this week’s bulletin.

OUTDOOR MAINTENANCE VOLUNTEERS NEEDED

Peace would like to organize a group of members to be in charge of maintaining the outdoor spaces around our facility. A special need would be for spraying and weeding. Please contact Brad Mattes if you are available to help keep our outdoor space looking its best.

This week’s Worship Theme – A Church for All People
“All are welcome!” Is that true at our church? Historically, it rarely is true. In the gospels, the average Jewish person would have thought it odd, even offensive, if someone who wasn’t an Israelite walked into their place of worship. Taking it a step further, some of the Jewish religious leaders would imply that church was meant for those who zealously followed religious customs and traditions. Those were “good church folk.” So church was meant for people of the right heritage and who behaved the right way. What about us? Is it conceivable that a stranger could walk into our church and for some reason you would ask yourself, “What is someone like that doing here?” Or, just perhaps, you are asking that question about yourself? “There are some seemingly godly people here. I’m not like them. Do I really belong?”

Today, Jesus shows us that God wants church to be for all people. All of us—regardless of age, ethnicity, gender, or social status—have the same problem of sin. And we all have the same Savior. Therefore, anyone who comes to Christ’s Church and cries out, “Lord, have mercy!” is more than welcome.

This week’s Worship Theme – The Christian Answers Doubt With Faith
Wherever faith clings to the promises of God, doubt is always lingering in the back of our mind, constantly asking the serpent’s garden question, “Did God really say?” How striking to think that one must have faith in God before it is even possible to doubt him!
It is not uncommon that, in times of adversity, doubt rears its ugly head—doubts about God’s care, God’s promises, God’s providence. In those times, the true answer to doubt is not found in some great miracle that removes adversity, but in the still small voice of our Savior God whispering to us in his Word. Through that Word Christ reaches out to us with nail-scarred hands, proof of his great love. Jesus gently says, “Why did you doubt?” Our faith is restored. The Christian answers doubt with faith because Jesus makes it so.

God receives much praise and thanks for you as you continue to do his kingdom work in your congregation and community. It is a blessing to share the zeal for proclaiming the gospel of Jesus with brothers and sisters over 2,500 miles away!
