Agape Meal and Quarterly Business Meeting Today: Join us after the service for our monthly meal together. All are welcome! After the meal, we will have our quarterly business meeting. We will hear an update from the facilities team and an overview of the summer plans for ministry. Members are asked to attend, but all are welcome. 

Choosing the Gift of Life this Thursday: Reserve a spot now for the Abba Pregnancy Resource Center Fundraising Banquet to be held on May 10 at 6 p.m. at Rockwoods in Otsego. To make reservations, email event@abbaprc.org or call 763.445.9650. 

DoorKeepers Saturday May 19 5:00-8:30 p.m.: All men age 13 and up are invited to a special night of fellowship and learning at the Alecksons’ home in Zimmerman. DoorKeepers, from Psalm 84:10, is a ministry pursuit for men who will be equipped and encouraged to pursue the lasting pleasures that our living God provides rather than the empty deceit of sexual immorality and pornography. We will begin our evening grilling and then have some time for pursuing God together through worship, prayer, and His Word. RSVP by Wednesday, May 16 to Pastor Kevin. 

Celebrating Our Children and Honoring Our Grads: This is an all -church event on Wednesday, May 23 at Otsego Park from 6:00-8:00 p.m. where we will celebrate our children and honor our graduating seniors, the class of 2018. We are thankful for the next generation and our calling to pass on our faith to them. Please come out and support the teachers, parents, and students for their accomplishments in 2018. 

Upcoming Opportunities at CAER Elk River Food Shelf: Each week during the summer at CAER, approximately 250 Kidz Kitz are distributed. It’s their summer supplemental food program. If you're interested in donating food, check out the food list on their website, caerfoodshelf.org. 


Next Week’s Fighter Verse 
Do not be slothful in zeal, be fervent in spirit, serve the Lord. Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer. Contribute to the needs of the saints and seek to show hospitality.

Reflective Glory: How the Moon Displays the Mercy of God

By
Our sun is a fitting metaphor for the glory of God. In the context of our solar system, it is massive, bright, beautiful, powerful, self-sufficient, heat-producing, life-giving, and dangerous. It is, by far, the dominant feature of our solar system and without it the system would fling apart and all living things therein would die.  On the other hand, our moon is a fitting metaphor for human beings, especially for those who believe in Jesus Christ. First, compared to the sun, the moon is tiny and dim. The sun is 400 times larger than the moon, its mass is 27 million times greater than the mass of the moon, and from our perspective its light shines 450,000 times brighter than that of the moon. The sun is so much greater than the moon that it’s difficult to quantify and express the difference. Likewise, the Son, the Lord Jesus Christ, is so much great than each and all of us that it’s impossible to quantify or express the difference. Indeed, the Lord is very great and greatly...

To Have My Soul Happy in the Lord, by George Muller

By Anonymous
To Have My Soul Happy in the Lord By George Muller “It has pleased the Lord to teach me a truth, the benefit of which I have not lost for more than fourteen years. The point is this: I saw more clearly than ever that the first great and primary business to which I ought to attend every day was to have my soul happy in the Lord. The first thing to be concerned about was not how much I might serve the Lord, or how I might glorify the Lord, but how I might get my soul into a happy state, and how my inner man might be nourished. “I saw that the most important thing I had to do was to give myself to the reading of the Word of God—not prayer, but the Word of God. And here again, not the simple reading of the Word of God so that it only passes through my mind just as water runs through a pipe, but considering what I read, pondering over it, and applying it to my heart. To meditate on it, that thus my heart might be comforted, encouraged, warned, reproved, instructed. And that thus,...

Catechisms: Building a Heritage of Sound Faith - By Pastor Kevin Feder

By
This is an article I (Pastor Kevin) wrote in 2005 and updated in 2017. It is featured in a new resource available through Children’s Desiring God called Discipleship through Doctrinal Teaching and Catechism by Sally Michael.  It is our desire to encourage parents to use a children’s catechism as a tool in building and strengthening faith in children. A simple definition of a catechism is “organized teaching.” Catechisms are not the only things that can or should be used to instruct the next generation, yet they have useful purposes. Listed here are ten specific benefits a catechism can uniquely offer. Hopefully these ten points will help parents understand how a catechism can be effectively used in their families. 1.  A catechism is a very clear and complete gospel message. A catechism is, among other things, a very clear and concise gospel message to children. Everything a child needs to know for salvation is embodied within a catechism. The gospel is truly ama...
