For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son.
John 3:16.
Have you ever wondered what the depth for God’s love is for
you? Do you know the grace and love of God-for you? Let’s go
back to the beginning and let me show you what I mean.
God’s love for us started in Genesis:
“In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Now the
earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of
the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters. And
God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light.”
Before there was creation; there was only God. Before time,
outside of time as we know it, when nothing else existed, there
was God (the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit) complete and
perfect in unity and relationship. Then God spoke, and creation
came into being out of nothing. We see this in John, the word
was with God, the word was God and all things were made
through him. It is important for us to understand that God did
not need creation. God was not lonely. God did not require an
audience to admire him. God created for one reason and one
reason only - out of love. He created us in his image and
breathed into us the breath of life. And he did it out of love.
When we rebelled, he did not abandon us. Instead he put into
place a plan for the redemption of creation- all out of love. From
the beginning, God knew that the cross was coming - he knew
we couldn’t get it right. Prophecy after prophecy shows us that
God already knew that the Son would have to die, and the Holy
Spirit would have to enter us anew. God knew that to love us
meant that he would have to bring us into relationship in order
to redeem creation, and still he created, and he did it because

ServingUp
Thanks
Thank you to Pastor
Julie and all who
helped in creating the
Online Worship through this early Covid-19 time. And thank you to all who went online and watched! Starting in July, we will still be online but only the sermon...no music, kid’s time etc. as all that will be happening in morning church!
Thank you Craig Martin and Kim & Myra Evans for delivering Friday Meals on Wheels June 12th and 19th.
A BIG thanks goes out
to everyone who helped with our Mobile Day Camp held the middle of June. We had on average, 67 kids attend—and we all know what a year it’s been, so that’s awesome!
