5PM COMBINED EVENING WORSHIP SERVICES AT GRACE
CRC:
TONIGHT:
will be led by First CRC.
Pastor
Jack will lead us in the study of the Catechism,
Acts 1:1-11; Lord’s Day 18, “The Ascension of
Jesus.”
Have you ever been awakened by a phone call during
the night; with news that shatters you to the core
of your being? The same can happen with a knock at
the door, or opening a dreaded letter. Suddenly,
everything changes. I am not saying this to create
fear, but simply to remind us that God knows our
future. Because of that, there is no safer place to
be than in his will. We know the present, and the
past; but the future can be frightening—all the more
reason to hold his hand and trust him to calm our
fears.
