Hi @first-name , hope your week is going well. Don't forget our 1st Sunday Prayer meeting June 7 at 5 pm in the Fellowship Hall. And here's the rest of what you 'need to know' this week!

AAPI Heritage/Missions Sunday & Potluck June 7

On Sunday, June 7th, we have the privilege of hosting Dr. Lloyd Kim, Director of Mission to the World. He will be teaching our All-Church Sunday School in the sanctuary from 9:00-10:00 AM and preaching during our worship service. Regularly scheduled children’s Sunday School will still be available during the 9:00 AM hour for families with young ones. Following the service, everyone is invited to stay for a potluck meal and Q&A time with Dr. Kim in the Fellowship Hall.

Heidelberg Catechism #112

Q. What is the aim of the ninth commandment?

A. That I never give false testimony against anyone,
twist no one’s words, not gossip or slander,
nor join in condemning anyone rashly or without a hearing.1

Rather, in court and everywhere else,
I should avoid lying and deceit of every kind;

these are the very devices the devil uses,
and they would call down on me God’s intense wrath.2

I should love the truth, speak it candidly, and openly acknowledge it.3

And I should do what I can to guard and advance my

neighbor’s good name.4
