This morning, Keith Sietstra will wrap up our ‘Deeper’ series – where we have been looking at the heart of why we do what we do here at Faith Church. Today, as we look at Mark 10:35-45, we are reminded that as we are growing in our relationship with Jesus, we can’t help but to offer his ‘Deeper Love’ with this world - we serve! Serve here at Faith, in our homes and places of work, in our community, and all the way around the world. We long to be a church that is sending servant-hearted disciples with a passion for Jesus into the world. And we want you to be a part of that!! • Today we will be celebrating with Taylor & Andrea Van
Beek in the baptism of their daughters, Kendra Faith & Kyla Grace.
• Special offering today will be for Rock Valley Christian School.
