Rise Against Hunger Event!
Dear Church Family,
I pray that you had a fantastic holiday weekend. Even more important than the freedom we celebrate in this nation is the freedom we have through Jesus Christ. I talked about repentance on Sunday. There is freedom in repentance. Giving up sin and walk toward the cross brings freedom and peace into our live. God's kindness to us "is intended to turn you from your sin" (Romans 2:4). Walk continually with the Holy Spirit in that freedom. The staff is praying for you as we continue to journey through our Articles of Faith. You won't want to miss the next few weeks. We have some guest speakers coming up that are really fantastic.
Blessings, Pastor John

To Heath and Katelyn Grim who welcomed Evelyn Rose Grim on June 8th!
Thank You
From the team at Joe StrEat Cafe on behalf of the North York Gospel Chapel: “Thank you for everything. Enjoy some fresh roasted coffee for the next few weeks.”
This thank you was for the use of Sprenkle House while North York Gospel Chapel recovered from a small fire. and we have enjoyed the coffee in the cafe for the last few weeks!
I conclude with a favorite verse:
“When the kindness and love of God our Savior appeared, he saved us, not because of the righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy.”
(Titus 3:4-5a)
Let’s rejoice in and share that good news! I’ll see you on August 25!
Pastor Josh and the Stillmeadow Team
