Prayer Corner: God’s Full Restoration

WORSHIP
Sunday services are livestreamed on YouTube at 9:30 am.
THIS SUNDAY
In the morning, we will begin a new sermon series called “God is Good,” which will focus on all the ways God’s word reveals that we can know, trust & experience the goodness of God & why that is so important. This week we listen to the Spirit through Genesis 1 & James 1 about the goodness of God revealed in creation.
In the evening at 4:50 pm (note time change), we will be watching & learning from season 3 of The Chosen. We’ll watch episode 2 (“Two by Two”) & discuss what it teaches us about living our mission & vision. There will be no livestream of this service.

CARE & FELLOWSHIP
Please take a moment to check out the Christmas card clothesline display in the fellowship hall. These sweet & creative cards are a gift to our church from some of the 4th grade students at Glenwood School, thanking Providence for the food we provide for the students at their school through the Hand2Hand program. These cards are a beautiful reminder of the positive impact that we as a church are making in the lives of the Glenwood students & staff, not only through H2H but also our Kids Hope program, Bible Club, Dream Big & the many other ways we are able to connect with the school throughout the year. May each student & staff at Glenwood be blessed by the gift of God’s love as we serve their school!
