WELCOME TO FAITH
Good morning! Welcome to Faith! We are so glad you took the time
to seek God with us this morning. We pray you are blessed,
encouraged, fed, and challenged, as together we seek to become
“transformed disciples who share the love of Jesus with the world.”
SERMON NOTES
“NO PATIENCE, NO COMPASSION; KNOW PATIENCE, KNOW COMPASSION”
JOHN 5:1-15
We are in a 31-week series entitled, “BELIEVE”, where we examine
the important tenants of our faith. Our challenge, if we truly believe
those things, how are we living it out in our lives? It is our call to
THINK, ACT, and BE like Jesus.
Sunday school meets at 9:35am in the lower level for three year olds
through adults. We warmly welcome and invite you and your family
to participate in this time of connecting and growing!
If you are visiting with us this morning, we invite you for a time of
fellowship in the FLC Place between worship. Our nursery is located
southwest of the sanctuary and available for children through 36months of age. We warmly welcome you to Faith!

PRAYER FOCUS
- The family of Bob Flynn sincerely thanks Faith
Reformed and in particular, The Lighthouse, for all the

an avenue of spiritual growth for him. Blessings to each
and every one of you who take the extra time every
Sunday to lead at The Lighthouse. Your involvement and
unconditional love changes lives.
