Newsletter for August 12, 2026

We are looking for individuals who would be willing to serve as substitute Sunday School teachers from time to time. Occasionally, one of our regular teachers needs to be away, and we would love to have a list of willing substitutes we can contact when needed.

If you would be willing to help teach a class occasionally, please let us know. Your willingness to serve would be a great help to our Sunday School ministry.

We are looking for volunteers who would be willing to help with our children on Wednesday nights. Whether you can help regularly or simply lend a hand when needed, your time and willingness to serve can make a difference in the lives of our children.

If you are interested in helping, please see Jonathan or Saskia for more information.

Come serve, encourage, and help us invest in the next generation!

I’m sure that every one of us is facing a need or problem. You may realize that you are not right with God and that you must prepare for eternity. You may be a believer who has lost fellowship with God due to sin. You may be worried or anxious about some problem or need. You may be filled with anger and bitterness due to some wrong. Probably every one of us has a need in our life.

What should we do in our respective situation? Some of the wisest words ever spoken were spoken by Mary to the servants at the wedding in Cana. She told them, “Whatever He says to you, do it.”

What insight and wisdom! That advice applies to every person. It covers every situation. We need to do what He says.

Following this counsel involves two key elements. First, we must know what He has said about our particular situation. If we don’t know what He has said, we need to study the Scriptures to learn the answer.

Do you know what God has said about your situation? Others’ opinions are worthless. Frankly, yours are as well. The only opinion that matters is God’s. What does He say about your situation?

The second element of this counsel is doing what He says. Knowing but not doing accomplishes nothing but increasing our accountability before God. Have you done what God has said to do in your situation? That is the only way the situation can be correctly addressed, the need met, and the problem solved.

“Whatever He says to you, do it.” Will you?
