Greetings friend,

We are so excited for Back To Church Weekend! The weekend corresponds with our nation’s Constitution Sunday. This year my heart is heavy for the direction our country is headed. So many people seem to have forgotten how God and our Bible has shaped America from its foundations. Former President Obama stated that “Whatever we once were, we are no longer a Christian nation.” Whatever we once were…
 
This weekend we will pause our study of Joseph, and look back at how our country was formed; what did our forefathers say? What guided them as they strove with great pain to establish our Constitution and many other critical documents which form the foundations of our freedoms and direction as a free people? I’ll try, in 38 minutes…, to provide you written evidence in which our founders had much to say as to what drove and guided them as they set out to build the greatest nation that has ever existed. I hope you’ll join us for this hard-hitting, and fast-paced message called America – God’s Blessing, Our Stewardship.
 
We will hold to our regular service times, but following the 11am service, we’ll continue our worship of the Lord by holding baptisms out on the patio, followed by Pepe’s Taco Truck and Kona Ice snow-cones (self-pay) – kids receive one free snow-cone.

Upcoming Events:

Baptisms this Sunday after the 11am service! Call the church office at 208-938-2191

The Christian Action Network (C.A.N.) is a network of believers who want to pray for our state and local leaders; encouraging legislators to pass sound biblical laws, and strengthen our lawmakers at the State Capitol. Members register to receive texts during the legislative session that runs from January through March regarding bills/laws which directly impact our kids, schools, and families. Then we will make calls and send emails to our representatives encouraging them to vote in a biblically moral way. This really does make a difference as they will decide on issues such as boys in girls’ locker-rooms, on passing bills with teeth involving child trafficking and more.  Go to https://www.restoredcommunitychurch.org/ to register.  

 This Sunday afternoon, churches are coming together at the State Capital to celebrate God’s provision for our country. The event is called Constitution Sunday and I want to encourage everyone to come down for a time of worship, and a time to hear from some of our legislators and Constitutional experts as they speak on what God has placed on their hearts. Additionally, I’ve been invited to be a part of a Pastor’s forum to discuss the importance of being involved as citizens here in Idaho.
 This is a big weekend! I hope to see you with a Bible in hand, and encouragement on our lips as we come together to offer our worship to our Heavenly Father.

Thanks for staying In-Touch…
Pastor Ben
