Prayer Promise

Could He Be Right?

PASTOR'S BLOG

A friend of mine whispered to me the other day his conviction that the eventual downfall of the American democracy will be traced to January 6, 2021, and the mob attack on Capitol Hill. My eyebrows arched, considering the bright mind and respected scholarship behind the whisper. But then everybody has an opinion these days, have you noticed? Nevertheless, with the one-year anniversary upon us, it is prudent we pause and reflect on this New Year’s “new normal.”

New Winter Sabbath Journey: "A Banner Unfurled"

I hope you will join us (online or in-person) for a worship journey we may never have been on together. "A Banner Unfurled" will be a fresh plunge into the shining truth about our Creator-Savior and His gift of the seventh day, the Sabbath, to humanity.
We won’t be arguing over which Day—we already know. But we will be creatively exploring how existentially/experientially the treasure of Christ embedded in the Day can reignite our pandemic-shadowed lives with new light and meaning this New Year.

I'm praying we'll never be the same again as a result of this exploration. And I hope you invite your friends and family to join us.

For your handy reference here is the lineup of our Pioneer winter Sabbaths in 2022:

• January 8 – "Killing Time"
• January 15  – "'The Peace of Wild Things'"
• January 22  – "'All the Light We Cannot See'"
• January 29 –  AUSA Sabbath
• February 5  – "Familiarity Breeds Contempt"
• February 12 – "'My Soul Followeth Hard After Thee'"
• February 19 – Pathfinder Sabbath
• February 26 – "'The Things on Which the Light Falls'"
• March 5 – "By Playing Silly Games"

– Pastor Dwight

Michigan Advance Partners

Isaiah 43:11 “I, even I, am the Lord, and apart from me there is no savior.” In August of 2018, the Grand Rapids Central Church sold its 1894 historical church building and began looking for a new church home. The decision to sell their home for the past 82 years was a difficult one, but the need for major repairs and the lack of parking made looking for a new homeless difficult.
