For God so loved the world that he

his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.
God’s Will for Our Lives Matt.

Then Jesus came to them and said,
“All power in heaven and on earth is given to me. So go and make followers
of all people in the world. Baptize
them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Teach
them to obey everything that I have taught you, and I will be with you always,
even until the end of this age.”

Responding to God’s Grace
* Professing Our Faith 2011 Apostles’ Creed
I believe in God, the Father almighty,
creator of heaven and earth.
I believe in Jesus Christ, his only begotten Son, our Lord,
who was conceived by the Holy Spirit
and born of the virgin Mary.
He suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, died, and was buried;
he descended to hell.
The third day he rose again from the dead.
He ascended to heaven
and is seated at the right hand of God the Father almighty.
From there he will come to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit,
the holy catholic church,
the communion of saints,
the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body,
and the life everlasting. Amen

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be

Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our debts as we forgive
our debtors.
And lead us not into temptation, but
deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom, and the
power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.
* Hymn for Departing 686 “Christ for the World We
Sing”

Non-perishable items for donation to Coopersville Cares can be placed in the little red wagon on your way to the communion table next Sunday. Everything collected will be given to the Food Pantry. There is no obligation to donate.
“On behalf of the board of Coopersville Cares I would like to express our deep and
sincere appreciation for all the assistance you provide Coopersville
Cares. The relationship between
Coopersville Cares and this church goes back a long way; you provide services
and assistance that are crucial to this agency. Fulfilling our mission in the Coopersville community without the
Church of the Saviour would be very difficult, if not impossible; we are aware
of this and we never take our good fortune for granted. A special thanks goes to Natalie Tibbe, John
Prichard, Bill Adema, Kathy Veeneman, Barb Veeneman, Pastor Dave, and many
other members of this congregation; they are never too busy to help and they make
my job a lot easier. Thanks again! Jim
Alberts, Director/Coopersville Cares”
