Announcements—June 4, 2017

Haiti Missions Trip, June 10-18: By the grace of God, ten people from Glory of Christ will be traveling to Haiti from June 10-18 with Adventures in Missions to aid with their on-going efforts there. The team will be led by Pastor Kevin and Kim Handren, and the rest of the team will be made up of GCF youth. Please pray for the team as they finish final preparations, and be sure to note the trip dates so that you can pray while they're gone.

Honoring our Fathers, June 18: Plan to join us on June 18 as we honor our fathers with a brief devotional, a time of prayer, and our traditional offering of beef jerky! We rejoice in the fathers the Lord has given to us, and where they have failed us and hurt us, we look to our heavenly Father who is the only perfect Father we will ever have. We encourage you to pray in advance and find creative ways to honor your fathers on this special day.

Gospel of John Outreach Meeting, June 24: Please join us at the church office on June 24 from 9:00-11:00 a.m. as we prayerfully discuss the ways that the Lord would have us give out Gospels of John in our community. We will also consider taking up the challenge to mobilize other churches to distribute 10,000 Gospels of John per year. Light snacks and drinks will be provided. Contact Pastor Charlie for further information.

Baptism Service and Picnic Sunday, June 25: Everyone is invited to attend a church picnic and baptism service at the Mark and Jill Larson's home in Zimmerman. Bring meat to grill and a side dish to share. You may also want to bring a lawn chair. Boating and swimming (possibly water tubing) will also be available. Please come out and support this year's baptism candidates. We will provide directions to the Larson's home at church on Sunday, June 25.

Wednesday Morning Prayer Meeting: Anyone who would like to join in corporate prayer may do so. The prayer time is from 6:00 a.m. to 7:00 a.m. at the church office.
Next Week’s Fighter Verse

"I have learned in whatever situation I am to be content. I know how to be brought low, and I know how to abound. In any and every circumstance, I have learned the secret of facing plenty and hunger, abundance and need. I can do all things through 
him who strengthens me."
Philippians 4:11-13

We post these worship songs leading up to the worship service so that parents may listen to them in the house or in the car within the days leading up to the worship service.

God Displays His Beauty While Lifting Heavy Burdens by Pastor Kevin

By
I know I am a little bit overweight. My doctor tells me so. The mirror that I look into affirms it and the scale (that I mostly avoid) reminds me every time I step on it. All of that makes what I am about to say so much more impressive. I had the privilege of sitting on the beaches of Florida's Atlantic coast for 8 days on our most recent family trip. For me there is something magical about the beach, especially on the Atlantic side with the waves washing up against the shoreline.

This last week it landed on me, almost literally. My son Ben and I are the more adventurous specimens in the Feder five. We actually get into the salty water where there are jelly f...

No one ever plans to have their lives upended. We know that the world is broken and bound in futility, we know that everything can change in an instant, and yet crises still have the ability to shake us to our core. None of us entered 2020 planning to experience a global pandemic this year, but here we are, practicing social distancing, wondering how the virus will affect us and our families, and wondering when we will be able to return to our regular rhythms and routines as what can feel a little like the world falling apart around us.  In the midst of social distancing, I miss my church family. I miss my Bible study, the kids in my Sunday school class, the ability to meet people for coffee, and I know that I am not alone in this. It is not wrong to grieve the temporary loss of these things. In fact, we ought to grieve, even as we seek to live joyfully and find satisfaction in Christ in the midst of difficult circumstances. If we feel no grief whatsoever over the loss of some...
