10 am Sunday In-Person & Livestream Worship Services

 This Sunday, we return to one of our Unsung Heroes of the Bible.  Naaman was a powerful foreign commander who had defeated the people of Israel in battle.  Yet, he needed healing… and there was a healer in Israel.  But, receiving healing would mean getting down off his high horse and being willing to be healed.  Maybe you can relate?  We hope to see you on Sunday as we explore 2 Kings 5:1-15 and ponder the story for our lives. 

We are grateful that the Rev. Dwight Walker will be leading worship in Pastor Ben's absence. Dwight is the father of three adult children, all educators, and he has three grandchildren. Currently, he is under the Presbytery of Detroit care in search of a call.  Dwight worked as an Engineer for 19 years and as a middle school math teacher for 20 years.  He was ordained an Elder of the Word and Sacrament in the African Methodist Episcopal Church in 1998, and transferred to the PC(USA) through examination and evaluation of the Presbytery.  He was seminary educated through the Ecumenical Theological Seminary (Detroit) and Payne Theological Seminary (Wilberforce, OH).  Dwight has been a Pulpit Supply Minister for the Presbytery of Detroit for more than 30 years, filling in at Detroit area Churches.  After his years of teaching in the Detroit public schools, Dwight continues to feel a strong call to teach the Word of God to the People of God as a “whole”. 

This summer, we will be exploring some unsung heroes of the bible.  You may not have even heard of them.  If you have, you likely struggled to pronounce their names, eg: Namaan, Hagar, and Eutychus, just to name a few.  Despite their relative obscurity, God used them in some amazing ways.  And, they have much to teach us today.

This Sunday, we start with a queen named Vashti.  

“… through Him who strengthens me.” Philippians 4:13.  This has been the focus verse for a wonderful week of Vacation Bible School.  We are excited to welcome our VBS families to worship this Sunday, and we look forward to exploring the story of the boy in John 6:1-14, whose contributions - combined with the prayers of Jesus - fed 5,000 people.
