Joseph in Four Movements | Selected Passages from Genesis 37, 39-50

This week, we are studying certain pieces in the story of Joseph, who is one of the most famous characters in the Old Testament. It’s a long and complicated narration, so I encourage you to read all 12 chapters as a way of refreshing your memory. It’s quite a good tale with a lot for us to reflect upon! On Sunday, we will look at four scenes from his life which portray faithfulness in God despite temptation and unbelievable hardship. 


I am grateful for Pastor Danielle’s honest rendering of the Abraham/Isaac story and how it has stirred important musings and discussion. The Bible has been recorded for us so we will know who God is and how He enables us to walk in faith with Him. 


This Sunday, may we come with open hearts and minds to worship our Lord and King!


Pastor Colleen


“Faith is a free surrender and a joyous wager on the unseen, unknown,

untested goodness of God.”

Martin Luther


“Faith is the gift of God. So is the air, but you have to breathe it; so is bread, but you have to eat it; so is water, but you have to drink it.”

D.L. Moody


“Telling the truth is an act of love, an act of resistance, an act of courage. Its end is liberation, freedom, and if possible, reconciliation. But there can be no reconciliation without truth.”

Jacqui Lewis

MISSIONS GIVING


We are a generous church that worships a generous God. Our church is generous in giving to our community missions and global missions. With global missions, we have committed $55,400 in support to several global partners and organizations. While your generous support given directly to these partners/projects helps them, giving through the church helps us meet our annual commitment to support them. We encourage you to give online or in the offering. Designate to “Missions - General”, and we will be sure it gets designated where needed most. Thanks for your support.


Here is our current status in giving:

OUR GOAL: $55,400

GIVEN TO DATE: $37,515

NEEDED TO FULFILL OUR GOAL: $21,286

*We have completed our goals for the Shattenberg (Kenya/Madagascar) and Elliott family (Scotland), and Immanuel University (India).


Let’s break it down: If every active adult gives at least $55 before the end of 2026 we will reach our goal!
