Baby Bottle Blessings

“What should be done then, my friends? When you come together, each one has a hymn, a lesson, a revelation, a tongue, or an interpretation. Let all things be done for building up.” 1 Corinthians 14:26 We invite you to come and enjoy Worship Unscripted, an informal, Spirit-led worship service where you can come as you are. There is no script. There is no order of worship. How will we worship? We will read scripture together, and study it together as the Spirit leads us. We will pray with and for each other, share testimonies, and encourage one another. We will join together in song, or sometimes simply listen to the music as we worship. Each week will be a new and unique experience that God will lead us to. Worship Unscripted will be held on Saturdays at 6 pm in The Life Center beginning on June 9. We pray the Spirit will lead you to join us! "Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled." Matthew 5:6 __________________________________________________

Baby Bottle Blessings is an opportunity for Living Word to help raise funds that will help women facing an unexpected pregnancy. Examples of what the money is used for include: free pregnancy tests, free ultrasounds, parenting classes, and post-decision support including material assistance and ongoing coaching. To participate, pick up a baby bottle in the lobby TODAY and place a check or spare change in the bottle as an offering. Please return all bottles no later than Father’s Day, June 17. __________________________________________________

Adult Faith Formation Groups

Then he said to them, “The sabbath was made for humankind, and not humankind for the sabbath; so the Son of Man is lord even of the sabbath.” Mark 2:27-28 This simple tool is based on a focus verse from the Sunday text, then your household uses it in a nightly ritual - SHARE highs and lows, READ the Bible verse or story, TALK about how the Bible might relate to highs and lows, PRAY for one another’s highs and lows, BLESS one another. _______________________________________________________

We hope that every adult at Living Word is involved in faith formation that moves them deeper in their discipleship walk. When we care for our own faith development then we are better able to care for those around us and do the things God has called us to do in life. Sundays at 9:30am in Martin Luther (all adults) Nooma Videos by Rob Bell Tuesdays at 7:00pm in Martin Luther (women’s group) __________________________________________________
