Love From Your Pastor

The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon Me, because the LORD has anointed Me to bring good news to the poor; He has sent Me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to those who are bound. (Isaiah 61:1 ESV)

Join us Sunday morning at 10:30am for worship, choir, communion, and a message on Isaiah 61, “Anointed to Bring Good News”! The Messiah announces the good news of His mission to bring salvation to the poor, brokenhearted captives of the earth!

Sunday is also Micah Beach’s 16th birthday!!!

Please plan to stay for a brief VBS meeting Sunday, right after the worship service, to learn more about how you can serve in this ministry. Don’t forget to save any square boxes that come your way — we are rounding up square boxes for stage props and decorations.

The Baccalaureate ceremony for Central Linn is Monday, June 3, at 7pm in the CL high school cafeteria. Come join us to be a shining light in our community!

An open house for Caleb Beach’s graduation (from West Albany high school) will be Friday, June 7, from 5-7pm at our house. You are invited to celebrate with us!
