Hi Everyone, This weekend’s teaching is the final message in our Extraordinary Nobodies series, and the narrative I’m covering is the one which inspired the series. The text is Numbers 27:1-11, and the ‘nobodies’ are 5 sisters, the daughters of Zelophehad: Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah. Have you ever heard of them? Until a few weeks ago, me neither.I’m pretty sure I’ve looked at this section of Numbers at some point, but it wasn’t until recently that I paid any attention to these women - their lived experiences and the extraordinary significance of their actions. Read the text to familiarize yourself, and ask yourself: “Why is their story included in the text? Why do their actions matter? What’s different about the way these Scriptures describe sisters vs. brothers?” It might not be obvious at first, but this is a fascinating little text with staggering implications. I hope you can be with us online or in person on Saturday or Sunday.Lots is going on as we get closer to September...keep scrolling to learn about more opportunities to Belong & Become!Greg Hochhalter | Lead PastorWe are hosting a BBQ on Sunday, August 27, at 11:30 AM, after the 10 AM service, which will include a hot dog and hamburger barbeque lunch. All food and drinks will be provided (gluten-free and vegan options will be available). There will also be games for all ages! Please bring a lawn chair or blanket to sit on.Come celebrate with us as we wind down the summer together! Our Saturday Night Service time is changing! Our Sunday 10 am service continues to grow. To help make room, we will be moving our service time on Saturdays to 6 pm and ask you to consider attending:Saturday, Church at 6. Why? This will open up room for our growing Sunday attendance and help to accommodate families with young children who may need an earlier bedtime on Saturday. An earlier time will also provide an opportunity for connecting more after the service.When? Starting September 2, 2023Will there be kids programming? Yes! We are welcoming back Nursery, available for children ages 0-2, and complete Kids Ministry programming for children ages 3 to Grade 6 on Saturday nights. If you are considering making this switch, we ask you to register and commit to attending Church at 6 for the fall. This will help us build a robust Saturday night church community and to help with the planning for Kids Ministry. Any questions about Church at 6? Please email us at [email protected].Join the Saturday night serving teams here. Interested in Dedicating your Child?There is no manual for raising kids, but God has given us something far better - the Holy Spirit, and community.
