“It is good to give thanks to the Lord,

and to sing praises to Thy name, O Most High.” Psalm 92:1

WELCOME: A sincere welcome is extended to everyone who

worships here today. As we reflect this week on the goodness

and blessings of God upon our lives, may this day and this

week be used to strengthen our resolve to live more faithfully

and thankfully for Him in days to come. We invite you to join

us in the Fellowship Hall following our morning service for

refreshments and fellowship.

Children aged 3-5 meet your teacher in the foyer during the

offering this morning for Children’s Church.

Today at 2:30 PM, Care Center Devotions will be provided by

Devotion Group #6. If you are in this group, you will have

instructions in your church mailbox.

ABOUT OUR MESSAGES

This morning our series in Acts, "King on a Mission," moves

to Acts 6:8-15, where Stephen becomes the focus of Jewish

leaders intent on stopping Jesus and His mission. Their

charges reveal a fundamental difference between true religion

and empty religion, and leads us to wonder whether or not we

also are "Misrepresenting Jesus."

This evening, our journey through the Heidelberg Catechism

moves to its final section, dealing with the topic of prayer. Our

catechism calls prayer the most important part of gratitude,

and so Pastor Drew will be reading a sermon displaying what

happens when grumbling replaces gratitude. The gracious

response of God is found in the "Rock of Ages."

PRAYERS AND PRAISES

Please continue to pray for Tony & Rozella Baan Hofman as

they settle into their new living arrangements. Their new

address: Inn on Westport, Rm #313, 4000 S. Westport Ave,

Sioux Falls, SD 57106

Please be in prayer for many in our church family dealing with

the grief of loss.

Pray for the family of Darrell Kuipers, who died

Wednesday morning after a fight with cancer. Funeral

services were yesterday morning. Please lift up Gretchen

and his entire family to the God of all comfort.

Pray also for the family of Janet DeJong, who

died Tuesday morning in Sioux Falls. Visitation will be this

afternoon at Mount Funeral Home from 3 to 5 PM with a

prayer service to follow. Tomorrow morning, her funeral

service will be here at church at 10:30 AM.

We grieve together in this time of loss while looking to the

hope of Jesus Christ, who is the resurrection and the life.

Thank you so much for the care package and your prayers! It is always nice

to receive a package in the mail! Thanks again! ~Ashley Hansum

Thank you for the wonderful care package that I received this past

week. The goodies were delicious, and the socks are fun! Thank you

for your thoughts and prayers! ~Alicia Kuipers
