Colony Christian Church meets

The Colony Christian Church heard a Communion message from Pastor Chase Riebel Sunday. He talked about things to remember during communion, including the need to take responsibility for Jesus’ death. He reminded his congregation to not mock Jesus and remember that Jesus refused to save himself so he could save humanity. “Jesus sends us into the world, just as God sent Him into the world. We are equipped with everything we need to proclaim His glory,” Riebel said. 

Pastor Chase’s sermon was on “Offering My Time.” Everyone is on a trip to get home to Heaven and must focus on what is important to get home, and to help others get there too. You can hear the entire sermon at http://www.colonychristianchurch.org.

Men’s Bible study is at 7 a.m. Tuesdays. Meal and prayer time at the parsonage are at 5:30 p.m. Wednesday, with a youth group at 7. Children are invited at 4:30 p.m.

Small groups meet at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.
