We're taking a break from Matthew this week as we have the great privilege to hear from Dr. Paul Kooistra, the Coordinator for Mission to The World (the missions agency of the PCA). Dr. Kooistra will be speaking about MTW and the state of missions around the world during a combined teen/adult Sunday School, and then he will be preaching from James during the worship service. It's not often we get one of the real leaders in the PCA to come minister God's Word at our church. I encourage you to make every possible effort to be there!

Additionally, I would ask that you pray for the pastors, elders, and deacons this weekend as we'll be away for our annual Officer Retreat. Dr. Kooistra will be teaching about grace to us as well, and trust me, we really need it! Pray that this is a profitable time for our leadership!

Next week (June 9th), the Adult Bible Class will begin a summer journey through the Minor Prophets. Lots to learn from all those small books at the back of the Old Testament! Looking forward to another great Sunday! See you then, Dr. Dave
