THANK YOU!
Our Trunk or Treat this past Sunday is the biggest one we’ve had in a while and maybe ever. Thank you to Beth Henegar for coordinating everything. Thank you to everyone that provided a car, brought candy, had conversations with our guests, or served in any other way. A lot of good contacts were made. Pray that some of them will return in the upcoming weeks.
DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TIME ENDS
Don’t forget to “Fall Back” your clocks before going to bed.
WORSHIP
Nov 1, 10a
Forgiven Much (Luke 7:36-50)
In Luke 7:36–50, we encounter a woman whose overwhelming gratitude for Jesus leads her to express her love in a remarkable way. While Simon the Pharisee sees only her sinful past, Jesus sees a repentant heart. Through a simple parable about two forgiven debtors, Jesus reveals a truth we all need to understand: regardless of how good or sinful we may appear outwardly, we are all in need of God's forgiveness. And when we truly recognize the depth of our sin and the completeness of Christ's forgiveness, our hearts are transformed. Those who are forgiven much, love much. The question is, do we love Him like that?
