In this week's service, as we do the first Sunday of every month, we observed the sacrament of the Lord's Supper. So, Pastor John took a break from 1 Thessalonians and preached from Genesis 45:1-9, "God's Sovereign Purpose." The hymns for this week were "Behold Our God," Psalm 100, "O Sacred Head, Now Wounded," "Come, For the Feast Is Spread," and our traditional post-communion "Benediction." In addition, this week's offertory was sung by our Director of Music, Brandon Bolin, and member Susan Haines.

This week's service included the sermon "Our Hope in Christ" from 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18, the seventh installment in our sermon series 1 & 2 Thessalonians: Every Grace Endued. The hymns for this week were "Rejoice, the Lord Is King," Psalm 97, "O Sacred Head, Now Wounded," and "My Hope Is Built on Nothing Less." In addition, the offertory featured church member Lee Krehbiel playing "Come, Thou Long-Expected Jesus" on the bagpipes.

This week's service included the sermon "Jesus Calms the Storm," from Mark 4:35-41, delivered by guest preacher Jason Glover. The hymns for this week were "O Worship the King," Psalm 65 (verses 1-8), "O Sacred Head, Now Wounded," and "Leaning on the Everlasting Arms." The offertory this week was "Rise, My Soul, to Watch and Pray," sung by the choir.
