Tap Dancing is the art of rhythm and percussion. Sunday we have dancers from Calvin College joining us and doing tap. As Tap is about rhythm so our lives need to find a certain rhythm if we are going to stay healthy. That's what we'll be looking at on Sunday.The text for the week is: James 5.13-18
We'll be seeing how steps 10&11 of AA connect with this text.
The days starts with Tap and then moves to songs that praise God and look at Christ's sacrifice for us on the cross.
We will be celebrating 16 new households joining EverGreen after our time of praise. Enjoy the DVD with pictures and a bit of the story of those joining.
We'll be starting a new Corners offering cause this week. It is Vision of Hope ministries out of Holland, MI. They provide counseling for those who are unable to afford it as wellr pregnant teens and a host of other services.
The message gets started by reminding us how important right rhythms are for our health--and that it's no secret what those rhythms are. We'll move from there to be reminded of some chains that can bind us up, the importance of community and the odd idea that we can be righteous (trust me, it all fits together and it all comes out of those few verses from James 5).
When the message is done Pastor Tom will lead us in a time of individual and corporate confession. We will then receive God's blessing and be on our way to continue to serve him.

Excellent sermon, Pastor Larry. It was helpful to hear about the difference between simple and easy...and to talk about practical righteousness. That is what goes a long way towards authentic. It is one thing to accept the righteousness Jesus earned for us, but it is quite another to live it out in our lives. What a great framework!
I'm wondering if that is what people miss about James. When they hear it's a book of works, maybe they don't think that it's placed in a framework after salvation.
Thanks for delivering God's words so faithfully to us!
