Hey family, there are wonderful moments in life where we rejoice and are glad, and we think they will last forever. The reality is, difficult times happen to us all. All we have to do is live long enough to discover that life also comes with pain and regret. This Sunday we'll look at how God sustains us through times of loss and grief. And we'll find that God is enough, and that what we need most, God gives us freely.

Invite a friend. We meet at 10 a.m., 360 Schermerhorn St. Kids' Church for ages 5-12 starts at 10 a.m. as well. --Edwin

Hey family, I hope that your summer has included some quiet time to spend with God.

How to deal with grief

This week we're talking about grief and how as Christians, we are not exempt from pain, suffering, and loss. These experiences are universal. We go through them whether we trust in Jesus, deny him entirely, or worship some other form of god. So this Sunday we speak to those who mourn, to those who grieve, to those who have suffered great loss. You've either gone through it yourself or you know someone who is in that situation, so bring a friend or loved one along. --Edwin

Hey family, in times of confusion, either in our own lives or in the world at large, it can be difficult to determine where our hope lies. Jesus gave us some of the most hopeful words ever written when he began by saying, "The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is on me, because the Lord has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor."

Join us Sunday as we welcome Pastor Jason Williams of Solid Rock Church in Texas, who will share with us the Good News we all need. We meet at 10 a.m. at 360 Schermerhorn St. Children ages 4-12 also meet at 10. (They are learning about Moses and the plagues!) --Edwin

Hey family, most of us know the Parable of the Good Samaritan, but what if we've

missed Jesus's main point? This Sunday we'll look at Luke 10:25-37 and discover that this familiar story is about more than helping others. Through a conversation with a

religious expert, Jesus reveals a powerful truth: What we see is often determined by who we are.

Join us in air-conditioned comfort Sunday at 10 a.m. Kids' Church starts at 10 a.m. as well, so bring any visitors you may have ages 5-12! We meet at 360 Schermerhorn St. in downtown Brooklyn. --Edwin

story of struggle and hope

Hi Family!

Life has a way of knocking the wind out of us. Sometimes it's a loss we didn't see coming. Sometimes it's a door that closes unexpectedly. Sometimes it's simply the weight of carrying more than we think we can bear. Yet I've learned that some of God's greatest work happens in the seasons we would never choose for ourselves.

This Sunday, Pastor Chris will share a timely message about how God meets us in our struggles, strengthens us through life's challenges, and builds a hope that can withstand even the hardest seasons.

We will also celebrate a very special baptism as someone publicly declares their faith in Jesus Christ and takes their next step in following Him. There is always something powerful about witnessing a life transformed by the grace of God.

If you've been discouraged, weary, questioning, or simply trying to hold it all together, I believe this service will encourage your heart and remind you that God is still at work—even when you can't see it. We meet at 10 a.m. at 360 Schermerhorn St. Bring a friend, bring a family member, and come expectant. God may have exactly what you need. --Edwin

Hey family, this Sunday is Fathers Day, when we get the opportunity to celebrate the ultimate Father in our lives. For those of us who have earthly fathers that we struggle with, we look to the heavenly Father to be comforted. We also look to Him to teach us how to father the children in our lives. In either circumstance, we will find comfort, direction, and joy.

Join us at 10 a.m. at 360 Schermerhorn St. Kids' Church starts at 10 a.m. as well. Bring your family! --Edwin
