Hey Church Family, Happy Friday! Hope you have had an amazing week and that you are excited to top it all off with church this weekend! I’m excited to dive into the book of Micah with you as our next “Books We Don't Read". Micah is one of the “pro” prophets. A career preacher who would warn the people of Israel about God’s hand of protection being lifted from them in the view of the invading Assyrians and Babylonians. It is a message that balances our need to take the way we live seriously in order for the message and blessing we are to bring to carry any sense of hope. It points back to the beginning of Israel’s call and all the way forward to a king born in Bethlehem who will undo all the evil in the world once and for all. There’s a lot in there; I’ll try to keep it on time! I’d love for you to read Micah before you come to church, I’ve been reading it through several times in preparation for the message, and if you come having sat in it for yourself, you will be able to get so much more out of this weekend! I can read it in about 18 minutes; that’s less time than you will spend scrolling social media between meetings! Also, if you are new or feel new, I’d love to hang out with you (along with Pastor Jeremy and Pastor Gabe) at Pizza with the Pastor(s), following the Sunday Service. Details on that are below! Love you church, and can’t wait to be together, Brody Jespersen | Senior Associate PastorCommunion Weekend This weekend, we will celebrate Communion together, remembering what Jesus has done for us in thankfulness.
