Communion Sunday
SUNDAY'S sermon
For the next 8 weeks we are going to talk more specifically about prayer. Jesus, the Main Character in The Story – whose life, death and resurrection is in the Center of The Story – had a thing or two to say about prayer. More importantly, He lived a life of prayerfulness . . . and taught us to pray. Before we jump into the nuts and bolts of The Lord’s Prayer on June 15, today's message will focus on some preliminary principles on prayer Jesus communicated in His Sermon on the Mount.
Scripture Reading: Matthew 6:5-13 (NRSV)
- Matthew 6:5-8 (NRSV) read by Josh James, Contemporary Worship Leader
- Matthew 6:9-13 (NRSV) read by Tom Hansen, Senior Pastor
The Lord's prayer
Sermon series June-july 2025
This summer, we will explore The Lord's Prayer verse by verse seeking to more deeply embody this prayer we so often recite in worship. Each week, we will consider a phrase of the prayer exploring themes such as God's will, daily provision, forgiveness, and more.
Through this series, we’ll discover how The Lord’s Prayer is more than a familiar passage - it is a prayer that shapes our hearts, guides our actions, and calls us into a deeper faith transforming our daily lives.
an article for reference
As mentioned in worship Sunday, May 11, we wanted to offer a link to credible details related to refugees from Afghanistan, as well as how these details differ from the families Grand Valley churches have been sponsoring through The Grand Valley Resettlement Program for the last 3-4 years. Our families are not affected but approximately 9,000 people from Afghanistan will be in the coming weeks and months.
