Verses for the week:
Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence? If I go up to the heavens, you are there; if I make my bed in the depths, you are there
Psalm 139:7-8
We can rejoice that we have a God that is with us all the time and no matter wherever we go or whatever we do, He is with us.

Emmanuel - God with us - was our sermon theme on Sunday.
God is with us: in creation; in His word; by His Holy Spirit, in His love.
