FOURTH SUNDAY IN LENT
March 22, 2020
The Story: David-From Shepherd to King
Who do you think is in charge of the world? You? COVID-19? God? In this weekend’s message from The Story, we’ll take a look at how David’s answer to that question absolutely informed and shaped how he approached the Philistine giant named Goliath. Everyone else was terrified, but David somehow had the courage to face the giant, and it wasn’t just because of his slingshot. You can watch the message and the rest our online video worship experience any time starting Sunday at 8:00 AM by clicking HERE!
OUR READINGS - 1 Samuel 17:41-50; John 14:9-14

MEXICO MISSION TRIP FUNDRAISER: 144 ENVELOPES The reason I (Jonathan) like this fundraiser is that everyone can be involved! The first time we did this at Hope, a child came up to me with $5 and wanted to help with the big kids. I loved it! This is what this fundraiser is all about. In the Commons are 144 envelopes labelled $1-$144 that you can pick up then donate online or write a check and place the sealed envelope in the offering basket. There are directions on the card. Thank you for helping our high school kids get to Mexico and supporting the building of a home for a family in need.
