This Week

Pastor Jim's Weekly Message

It is that time of the year when we all celebrate being Mexican, even if we are not, as we celebrate Cinco de Mayo. Many of you may not be able to cook Mexican food so our youth have a solution for you. Join them on Friday, May 3rd from 5:00 pm - 6:30 pm for all you can eat tacos. We will have ground beef tacos as well as chicken breast tacos. The tacos come topped with lettuce, tomato, and shredded cheese with optional sides of sour cream, jalapeños, or hot sauce.

 

We will also have Cilantro-Lime rice, black beans with rib meat, and freshly made salsa and Tostitos. The meal will be a free will donation with all proceeds going to scholarships for the youth summer camp at Bear Creek.

 

The kids are also looking for some more volunteers to help serve the meal and clean up afterwards.

 

Hope we see you there!

Pastor Jim

This Week’s Gospel: John 15:9-17

[Jesus said:] 9“As the Father has loved me, so I have loved you; abide in my love. 10If you keep my commandments, you will abide in my love, just as I have kept my Father’s commandments and abide in his love. 11I have said these things to you so that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be complete.

12“This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. 13No one has greater love than this, to lay down one’s life for one’s friends. 14You are my friends if you do what I command you. 15I do not call you servants any longer, because the servant does not know what the master is doing; but I have called you friends, because I have made known to you everything that I have heard from my Father. 16You did not choose me but I chose you. And I appointed you to go and bear fruit, fruit that will last, so that the Father will give you whatever you ask him in my name. 17I am giving you these commands so that you may love one another.”
