Leah Dibble helps with fellowship after church. We enjoy our social time. Article by Joyce L. Wiedrich 07-09-26 School is out for the summer! We have many enthused children that are happy about summer vacation, although this year we do not have any graduates. We do have two students in college. Pastor Jeannine recognized many members of the church that have helped with nursery and Sunday school through the year. We love our kids and are glad that we have active programs to support their growth and learning about Jesus. They also get to have some playtime and crafts while in Sunday school. Pastor Jeannine told the kids and the adults the story about Abraham and Isaac. Isaac was born when Sara and Abraham were very elderly and he was very much loved. God told Abraham to go up the mountain and build an altar. The idea was that Isaac would be sacrificed, sadly, is Sarah and Abraham had waited many years to be parents. Abraham listened to God, and believed God would provide a sacrificial lamb. Abraham trusted God and believed that he would provide, and not have to sacrifice his son. This lesson shows us that we need to believe and trust in God. The lesson is based on scripture from Genesis 22: 1 through 14. God meets us in our times of need, however, sometimes we need to ask him for his help. Our church has had several recent passings of elderly congregation members, which has tested many of us with these losses. We need to trust and obey God- it’s not blind faith but trusted faith, that he will provide for us in times of need. Snacks this week or courtesy of Joyce Wiedrich and Leah Dibble. We do enjoy our fellowship after church! Please come join us at church at 9 AM on Sundays. We have a loving congregation and a very caring minister.
Pastor Jeannine asked the kids if they had hobbies, like birdwatching! Article by Joyce L. Wiedrich 07-02-26 Pastor Jeannine asked the kids if they had hobbies like building things, reading, taking pictures or birdwatching. Did God like birdwatching? Maybe his hobby was looking after us. We are more precious to him than a whole flock of birds. God loves all the sparrows and all the birds and takes care of them, but we’re more precious to him, and he will take care of us. Pastor Jeannine is overwhelmed with her love for children and her grandchild, with another one on the way soon. God, his unexpected blessings. God creates possibilities when everyone else sees impossibilities. If God promises it, he will perform it. Our promise is not dependent upon the economy, gas prices, rising grocery prices. God promises a future. God loves us. Remember the story of Ishmael. He was seen as an outcast but God saw him as a leader. You may be overlooked but God sees you as a promise. God sees us and hears us. We celebrated Father’s Day. The kids passed out cookies to all the guys. Our men love baked goods! School is out- be careful of kids running around and riding their bikes! See you in Church on Sunday!
Marguerite Miller gave the children’s sermon with a telephone game and message for them to share, all about Jesus Article by Joyce L. Wiedrich 06-25-26 Wow, this year is half over already- where does time go? This past week Pastor Jeannine and Phil were out of town and Stacey Wyatt gave the message based on faithfulness. We’ve been talking about love, joy, kindness and faithfulness. We need a divine faith. Our scripture reading was from Matthew 9: 35 through Matthew 10: 8. The disciples made Simon Peter start a church. Our church of Bluff Point was started in 1838 and moved to its present location in the 1890s. One of our congregation members had a grandfather whom helped dig the basement by hand for the current church. Stacey Wyatt told us about several people who have had a divine faith. One was Horatio Spaddord,a businessman from Chicago. He had a very successful business and he and his family planned a journey to Europe. His wife and children went ahead because he still had business to complete. And November 22, 1873, the vessel that his family was on struck an obstacle and sank. His four daughters perished, however his wife survived. After learning of this tragedy, he wrote the hymn- It is well with my Soul, which we sang as our last hymn. Despite unimaginable tragedy he was able to praise the Lord. Despite any obstacles in our life, we need to keep our faith and realize that God will look after us in any circumstance. Faith gets us to heaven and while on earth we need to grow our faithfulness.
