Blessings in Christ,
Prayerfully our Lord is keeping each of you focused on Him and feeling His presence in your lives. I continue to pray for His increase for each of us – whether it be for peace, comfort, wisdom, or trust. Just this morning I read the following thoughts from pastor Tim Keller, “Nothing is more important than to learn how to maintain a life of purpose in the midst of painful adversity.”.
I have a few announcements along with resources to share, which will be followed by our weekly corporate praises and prayers.
There will be no Saturday Morning Bible Study tomorrow, 7/31.
This coming Sunday, 8/1, is Parousia Sunday aka New Jerusalem Day (see the attached graphic). The Preterist community has set aside this day for us to celebrate the presence of God and the consumption and “coming down” of the New Jerusalem. You can learn more about New Jerusalem day by either joining with us this coming Sunday, and/or visiting the following website, https://adammaarschalk.com/tag/new-jerusalem/
(We will also celebrate the fulfilled Lord’s Table at our BPBC Worship Service).
We had a blessed time serving and giving through The Attic’s Summer Pop-Up Shop. Thank you to each of you who participated and helped. I am attaching some pictures from the event.
