Happy Saturday, everyone. Here’s what you need to know this weekend:

Coming Up

Sermon text: Luke 9:37-43
Because He Lives
Almost Home
Behold Our God

May 7 - Almost Home (new congregational song)
May 21 - Psalm 46 (Lord of Hosts)
May 28 - Christ is Risen, He is Risen Indeed

One upcoming schedule change of which to be aware: on Sunday, May 28 (Memorial Day weekend), we will have ONE worship service at 10:00am. We will sing Christ is Risen, He is Risen Indeed, the choir anthem we had to reschedule a few weeks back.
I’d love to share a little about different worship ministry members in this weekly update. Will you take 3 minutes and tell us a little about yourself? Just click [here] to fill out a quick Google form. A bunch of you filled it out last week already. If you haven’t, consider doing it today!

Three last follow-up thoughts from our Impact Summit:

Have you ever been on a mission trip before? Is the Lord working in your heart to give you a desire to share the Gospel? Our church does a fantastic job helping you impact the world. We have many trips scheduled throughout the year, and a clearly defined process to help you get organized. Check stevensstreet.org/events for a list of projects.
Whether you are going on a trip this year or not, I encourage everyone to get a passport. That way, you are always ready to get a ticket when the opportunity comes up! A passport application can take a couple months to process, so taking care of this step is a great way to prepare yourself to go on an international mission trip. Plus, your passport will last 10 years. Here’s the link for more info: [click here]
“Missions exists because worship doesn’t.” I’ve mentioned this quote in passing a few times. Below is a little more explanation from the source of that quote, John Piper.
