Preparing For The Lord's Day

PREPARING FOR THE LORD’S DAY

This coming Lord’s Day, we continue in our sermon series on the book of Colossians.  As we look to close out chapter 1, Paul continues to share his heart for ministry to the church.  Having written on the suffering he endures for the sake of the church in verses 24-26, he now addresses his work in presenting the church mature in Christ in verses 27-29.  That maturity begins and ends by embracing the mystery of “Christ in you, the hope of glory.”  

Rejoicing in the certainty of our eternal hope, we'll sing with grateful hearts, “My Hope Is in the Lord,” “Be Thou My Vision” and “How Deep The Father’s Love for Us” for the Acclamation of PraiseAn Ensemble of men from our Sanctuary Choir will sing “Rise Up, O Men of God," which is a call to action for men “to be done with lesser things…and give heart and soul and mind and strength to serve the King of Kings.”

If you’re going to be out of town this Sunday, let me encourage you to listen to the sermon online (usually posted by Monday afternoon) or you can download the REPC podcast, which will be delivered to your mobile device.

AUGUST 12 – SUMMER RFN "SERVE THE BURG"
Once again, we have an opportunity to work alongside our ministry partners in the city in our Serve The Burg event happening on Saturday morning, August 12th.  We’ll meet at 8:30 am on the back terrace for brief instructions and then send teams out to work.  We’ll meet at the Hunton Randolph Community Center at noon for lunch with our No Walls Ministry partner churches.  We’ll also have inflatables (water slide) for the kids to enjoy after lunch.
