Pregnancy Center.

ANNOUNCEMENTS

Worship Family Style In order to enhance our worship, the
elders have asked the facility deacons to set up fewer chairs in the
evening. The aimis to have more meaningful worship as we join
together in praising and honoring our Lord rather than being
widely scattered. So come to evening worship and fellowship more
closely with your church family.

Ecclesiastes - The Search for Meaning - This August, please join
us at Cedar Church as we wrestle with the meaning of life as 'it
really is!' What do we do when work seems so tedious, life is
unfair, fools get ahead, nothing makes us happy, old age treats us
with cruelty, and our eventual death seems so depressing? The
Preacher hopes to answer that question by looking at the futility of
life fromGod's high and wise perspective. Pastor Steve invites
you to jump feet-first into life's most knotty questions as we travel
through the fourteen winding and circuitous chapters of the Book
of Ecclesiastes.

ANNOUNCEMENTS

Kailyn Baum on Wednesday, July 23, 7 PM at Hudsonville
