William Paul Young

THIS SUNDAY: William Paul Young, author of The Shack, will be speaking in all morning services and returning at 6:00 p.m. for an open forum to answer questions about the book. It is estimated that 12 to 15 million copies of The Shack have been sold around the world. Many have been drawn into a closer relationship with Jesus and found healing from the wounds of life. We are anticipating a wonderful experience of growing in our relationship with Jesus and with one another. This is a perfect opportunity to invite a friend to join you at church.

There are a number of opportunities in front of us to serve our community and represent Jesus to others. Consider volunteering for the Oak Park outreach every third Saturday of the month, serving at the VIP dinner where we love the homeless in our community the opening night of the Singing Christmas Tree, or assisting with “Port in the Storm,” our winter shelter program for the homeless December 19 through 25. Also, volunteering to help with guest services during the Singing Christmas Tree performances is another way to touch our community in a positive, life-giving way.

Matthew 25:40 The King (Jesus) will reply, “Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.”
