Monthly Memory Verse: For great is His steadfast love toward us, and the faithfulness of the Lord endures forever. Praise the Lord! (Psalm 117:2)
WEEK TWO: Elijah (1 Kings 17)
Brite Idea: God faithfully provides for us.
He Question: How is God able to provide what we need?
Because He is the Creator and King of the world, God owns
everything. He loves us and provides us with every good gift.
We Question: Does God know what we need?
God knows everything and He created us, so He knows exactly what we need. He knows what we are going through. Even if He doesn’t give us everything we want, He knows what is best for us.
STUDENT MINISTRY
Sunday Meeting Times:
-
Middle School: 9 AM
-
High School: 10:30 AM
Sunday Lesson: Acts 16-17
In Acts 15, last week, we had the very important Jerusalem Council verdict that changed the church forever – PTL! In Acts 17, we see Paul give a masterful message in Athens, taking what they “know” to what they truly need to know. He addresses their inscription on one of their “pagan god” altars… TO AN UNKNOWN GOD…We can learn much from this message together!
Join us each Wednesday at 6:30 PM for Live at the Loft and our current “Choices…Turns Out They Matter” series!
MISSIONARIES of the month
TIM AND NANCY HEPWORTH
Dr. Tim and Nancy are deeply involved in missions through their unique roles at ABWE. Dr. Tim provides essential healthcare support to missionaries, assisting them both in person and virtually while also educating national healthcare workers in the field. Nancy supports English teachers, offering valuable resources and professional development to equip them for ministry. Through her work, she encourages spiritual growth and helps foster opportunities for Christ-centered teaching. Please keep Dr. Tim in your prayers as he seeks to recruit more healthcare personnel for the mission field. Pray also for open doors for both Tim and Nancy to return as short-term missionaries to Bangladesh, where they can continue their impactful work.
CHRIS AND ELLIE
Chris serves as a Bible translation consultant, providing translation teams with guidance, encouragement, and technical support on translation-related challenges. He and Ellie are excited to see how God will use Chris’s background in pastoral ministry, along with his knowledge of Spanish, Russian, and biblical languages, as they serve with Wycliffe Associates and The Seed Company. Please pray for the brave translators in Southeast Asia, who continually risk their lives so that their communities can hear the gospel in their own language. Through these Bible translation projects, God is powerfully using His people to spread His Word across the globe. Pray that every nation will one day have the Bible in its own language.
GIVE ONLINE

After 37 years of faithful leadership, Pastor Chip Bernhard will be retiring. As we go through a thorough and prayerful process to identify our next Lead Pastor, we are asking the people of Spring Creek to pray regularly for God's wisdom and direction.
PASTORAL SEARCH PRAYER:
-
Pray for the future pastor and his family to have absolute certainty in their sense of call to our church. Pray they would be willing and prepared to move to our community. They must know God’s direction.
-
Pray that we will patiently await God’s timing and settle for nothing less than His perfect will. Ask God for His mercy in giving us a true man of God and a great leader.
