Church Family,
This past Sunday we started a new sermon series on the book of Ecclesiastes. This book is going to repeatedly address the emptiness or vanity of so much that we do in all the business of our lives, but in the stubbornness of our hearts we will likely struggle with the fact that this book declares that “all is vanity.” While we may readily see the vanity of some pursuits, there will be others that we will want to cling to even as Ecclesiastes puts their absurdity on display. Let us then pray this week and throughout this series that God would use this book to help us let go of our vain desires and cling instead to Him, the only sure and true source of joy and peace.
Along with praying, we encourage you to read Ecclesiastes 2:1-11 to prepare for this upcoming Sunday’s sermon.
Prospective Members’ Class
We will be offering our prospective member’s class on January 24th from 9 am to 12 pm. If you’ve visited us at Light in the Desert this is a great opportunity to learn about our church and especially why we think formal church membership is so important and so valuable. Even if you’ve been to the class before, and even if you are already a member, it would also be good to come to this class as a refresher on membership.
Wednesday Ministries
All our regular Wednesday ministries kick back off next week on January 14th. This includes our disciple makers class, men’s study, and both the morning and evening sessions of the women’s study. Whether you’ve never been part of our Wednesday ministries before or have participated for years we hope to see you there.
Grace be with you,
Logan Murphy
Pastoral Intern
