Pastor Dave would like to call on each of us to pray for the individuals for our church who are partnering with Cru, a college ministry, to share the Gospel with students in Sweden over the next week. Please stop and take a moment to pray for the following brothers and sisters to be unafraid witnesses for Jesus:
Sean Denniston (team lead)
Talia Olson
Hannah Olson
Maggie Montgomery
Carissa Falkenberg
Aidan St. George
Pastor Dave, as he will be with the team for a few days and also meeting with Swedish pastors and believers.
I want to highlight a story we recorded onThe Vertical Life Podcastthis week with Laura Beltman. Laura has experienced tremendous loss with the death of her brother and the unexpected loss of her mother that followed. Even amidst such profound suffering, she has trusted Jesus and testifies to His faithfulness and goodness-only God! I highly encourage you to listen, and get to know one of our beloved members.
Also, don't forget that there's an opportunity for you to personally meet our new elders Zack, Ryan, and Tito on Sunday anytime from 9-11 AM downstairs in the Family Room!
I'll see you Sunday (or if you're a young adult, I'll see you @ 7 PM at VYA tonight!),

Giving as a Spiritual Discipline
Have you ever thought of giving as a spiritual discipline? Generosity actually moves us deeper into the heart of God. How? Because through giving, God untethers us from our grip on the world, so that our empty hands can take hold of Him. It moves us to trust God not just with our salvation, but with our finances.
