As we move toward the end of this letter, Paul shares a list of final thoughts for Timothy. This week, we’ll look at some additional thoughts on church leaders and share more about what godliness should look like. Join us Sunday as we find out more about how Paul defines holy living in the household of God from 1 Timothy 5:17-6:10!

We hope you will join us in person on Sunday at 10:30 AM or watch online.

We will be singing the song we introduced last week, Thanks and Praise, again. This song was inspired by Psalm 92. The song reminds us that God is faithful and worthy and encourages us to turn the focus of our hearts and minds to God rather than ourselves. Let's give Him all the thanks and praise He deserves! You can listen to the song HERE.

A NEW 6 week class, “Strands of Unity” will begin this Sunday, November 9. The class will focus on how to keep the unity of the spirit in the bond of peace (Ephesians 4:3) by looking at theological triage, the importance of membership in the local church, how to handle conflict, how we love each other, and what it looks like for us to be a faithful witness in our community. More information and registration for this class is HERE.

The class on the book of Ecclesiastes continues to meet each week at 9 AM in room 255.

Thank you! We have just returned from an amazing trip to Greece and Turkey. We're so grateful for South Suburban's generosity that provided us with a "retirement" cruise to visit this part of the world. It was incredible to be in some of the world's oldest cities and to see places where the early church got started. This was a trip of a lifetime. Thanks so much!
"Former Pastor" Bruce and Linda Hibbard
