MORNING WORSHIP—10
AM
EVENING WORSHIP--7 PM
Scripture: John
20:24-31
Scripture: Nehemiah 13:15-22
Message: Welcome Back,
Thomas
Message: Set Apart for God
We welcome all to worship on this day that the Lord has made! We are
especially thankful today for God’s gift of mothers. We praise Him for
families! Please stay for fellowship and refreshments following the morning
service.
Roadside Chapel Offering: A new south chapel for I-90 has been built
and will be open for use by Memorial Day. Because of the cost incurred in
building the new chapel, today’s CRC offering will be for the chapel
maintenance fund.
Next Sunday join in worship at Grace in the morning and at the
Harrison north church in the evening. A NOON BBQ will be held in
the Fellowship Hall to honor our 2012 Grace & CRC graduates--kindergarten,
8th Grade, High School, College and Tech. Please add your grad’s name to the
list so they can be recognized; also check the list for food donations needed
for lunch. Thanks!
Next Sunday evening we join the Harrison churches in worship. Kevin
Rogers, the son of Mae and Bud Niewenhuis, was killed in a bicycle-pickup
accident August 18, 2010. Pastor Kevin Schneider from Good News Reformed Church
in Sioux Falls is coming to First Reformed in Harrison to tell how God is using
Kevin's death to touch lives for His kingdom. The Singspiration praise group
from Stickney, "As Is," will also be leading a time of praise. Be in
Harrison (North Church) May 20 at 7:00 p.m. for a service of praise and worship
followed by a time of fellowship.
The Gideons will present their mission as part of our worship next
Sunday morning, May 20. They appreciate any financial gifts you choose to give
at the door as you exit the service.
