Faith is best formed when we're together.
One part traditional, one part informal, all ages will find something meaningful in worship as we encounter the living God.
We’re excited to have the families of Northbrook lead worship on the first Sunday of each month. Northbrook member Steve Taylor will help us with music and our LOGOS friends will guide us through other parts of the service. You won’t want to miss this special monthly service: led by our young people, for all God’s people.
I am so looking forward to hearing from DeeDee McVety during worship this Sunday. She has been a wonderful cheerleader as members of Northbrook have sponsored a refugee family through Samaritas. DeeDee serves as the Director of Faith-Centered Engagement at Samaritas and has been part of the Samaritas team for the past eight years. A person of deep faith who grew up as a Pastor’s Kid, DeeDee joined Samaritas in 2015 after being captured by the mission: Serving people as an expression of the love of Christ. Following many years working in Florida, Arizona, and Texas, she is grateful to be back home in Michigan.
This Sunday, we’ll learn about the dramatic final years of Paul in Chapter 30 of The Story. In the midst of rejection and opposition, Paul kept his focus on sharing the good news of Jesus Christ. If that wasn’t challenging enough, Paul found himself imprisoned and facing raging storms (literally). Through it all, he kept a grounded trust that he would be used by God. “All things God works for good for those who love the Lord.”
Last Sunday, we heard about how the Holy Spirit opened and encouraged the first apostles in Acts, and we heard how a couple of those stories connect with the lives of some of our musicians. This week, we focus on Paul and how he expanded the horizons - geographically and theologically - of the church. In Chapter 29 of The Story, we learn that, even though Paul was far from perfect, God did amazing things through him.
Jesus is Risen! What a rich Holy Week and Easter we shared at Northbrook. It doesn’t all end with the Resurrection. In many ways, it’s just beginning. And, as we find in Chapter 28 of The Story, that beginning starts with the sending of the Holy Spirit who encourages and empowers the disciples to tell their story with others. In that spirit, we are going to have another conversational sermon this Sunday. We’ll get a chance to hear from three of our musicians - Dan Gross, Steve Taylor, and Pete Zajicek - about how these stories connect with their lives.
