Midweek Devotional and Update
Dear Fourth Church Family,
Titus 3:14 says, “And let our people learn to devote themselves to good works, so as to help cases of urgent need, and not be unfruitful.” These good works are an outflowing of God’s grace to us. We want to be a church that demonstrates this grace and displays neighbor-loving service to those around us. This week, I talk about a few different ways we can do this. In particular, I want to highlight the Youth Ministry’s “Drive-Through” Food Drive today, May 6, and Saturday, May 9. Details are below.
Also, don’t forget to join us tonight for our online Congregational Prayer from 5:30 to 6:00 p.m. More information is below.
Grace and Peace,
—Todd
