March 22, 2026CHURCH NEWS:
OCC UPDATE: This month, watch for Valentine and St. Patrick’s Day clearances. We need gloves (all sizes), and card games such as UNO, Old Maid, Go Fish, etc. Travel size of these games is wonderful, if available. We’re thrilled with the cotton shirts we’ve gotten, but still need more. Please no knits or sweatshirts. Thank You!!
Bible Study: Surveys increasing show us that people generally do not trust other people. We don’t trust social media, politicians, bosses, not even our spouses. Can you trust God? In Genesis 17, God introduces Himself as the El Shaddai. Join us Monday morning at church as we study the significance of the El Shaddai and how it applies to God’s covenant promises.
The Flowers in Church today are in memory of Bill DePatis given by Cathy and family.
Blood Pressure Readings: The blood pressure readings will be moved up a week to Sunday, March 29th, instead of the first week in April. Thank You
Reminder: Next Sunday is Palm Sunday
Save the Date: Attention all Ladies: Put Sunday, March 29th at 5pm on your calendar. We are planning a Ladies Night here at church. Food, Devotions and fun for all. Theme will be Ordinary Moments – Extra Ordinary God. See Barb or Julie to get your “ticket.” (No Cost)
For Emergency Purposes: In case of emergency, please contact your Shepherding Elder. Should you wish to contact Rev. Oord call him at 616-401-6481.

Reminder: Good Friday Service 7:00 PM on Friday, April 3rd. We will be celebrating the Lord’s Supper at our Good Friday Service. For the Shut-Ins and those unable to attend our service but wish to participate in the Lord’s Supper, please let a member of the Consistory know by Wednesday, April 1st via phone or email so the elements can be delivered.
