Hello everyone!           
Special Reminder!       
      The last Sunday night worship is this Sunday June 6th 5pm
        Sunday June 13th we move to 10am Sunday mornings!
 
A Verse and an Encouragement
"I will rejoice over Jerusalem and delight in my people...
I will answer them before they even call to me.
     While they are still talking about their needs,
I will go ahead and answer their prayers!"    Is 65
Here is an incredible thought to reflect on... God rejoices in you!  The Almighty One likes you and wants the best for you!  He wants to be in your life... in ALL the parts of your life!  He wants to guide, lead and comfort you!  That is amazing truth to meditate on.   
Take a moment to pray about how you do allow or don't allow Him to be close. Is He invited into "all" areas of your life?  Can God's wisdom and guidance be trusted?  Does He really want the best for you?  How can you open up and grow in this area?  
 
Sermon Series
The current sermon series is a look at the benefits of having "Guardrails" in life!

When you drive... what are guardrails for?   

Aren’t they set up to keep cars from straying off course and into someplace dangerous?  They actually might create a little accident… but it is still a good thing because a bigger accident would have happened if it wasn’t there.

In regard to your life, your plans, finances, relationships, marriage, Can you set up “guardrails” to prevent straying into some areas that are “not good” to go? Would having  "moral/conscience/ethical/spiritual" guard rails help you recognize that you might be straying?   Can we look at the "Wisdom" in the Bible to help us make some healthy guard rails for ourselves?  

No one plans to mess up their marriage, their finances, their relations... but do we plan well to not mess them up?

God's "wisdom" is a good thing to explore...

Proverbs 12:15
The way of a fool seems right to him, but a wise man listens to advice.

Proverbs 14:12
There is a way that seems right to a man, but in the end it leads to death.

 

 

Special Thanks to all the Musicians!

In the past month many people have shared playing intruments and singing and bringing great sounds to the worship expereince for all of us.... THANKS!   The "band" sound, the solo's, the blended worship sound... you have sounded great!  When you share the gifts and talents God has blessed you with we all appreciatte it and you give honor to Him!   

 

Storrs CC last Sunday at Hope this week.

The children of SCC will be planting some flowers in a new garden area in the front of the church as a part of their service this week.  God has blessed each church with the support of the other for a few years now.  We have much to be thankful for... and both churches have much to look forward to!

 

See You Sunday!    Pastor Joe
