The Beatitudes Week 2
"Blessed Are Those Who Mourn"
Mourning is a difficult state that unfortunately is all too familiar for all of us. When we mourn, we feel grief and sadness over the loss of something or someone special in our lives. As we grow spiritually, there are lots of times when we have to "mourn" the loss of parts of ourselves that we have enjoyed, but just as we know that the death of our natural body is only the beginning of life for us in our spiritual body, the "death" of our natural, external self is only the beginning of life for our spiritual, internal self. How can we see the process of mourning as an opportunity for the Lord to show us something great and comforting in our time of need?
Sunday Services
Our worship services begin at 10:30 a.m. on Sunday.
The first part of the service is for the whole family; with songs, prayers, and a talk for the children. After the children's talk, parents take their children to the nursery or to Sunday School (see Sunday School tab).
The second portion of the service is aimed at adults, with a more in-depth message on the topic.
After worship, we gather in the Foyer and Cafe to share fellowship and enjoy refreshments. Everyone is invited to join this gathering.
