ANNOUNCEMENTS
Worship Family Style In order to enhance our worship, the elders have asked the facility deacons to set up fewer chairs in the evening. The aimis to have more meaningful worship as we join together in praising and honoring our Lord rather than being widely scattered. So come to evening worship and fellowship more closely with your church family.
Ecclesiastes - The Search for Meaning - This August, please join us at Cedar Church as we wrestle with the meaning of life as 'it really is!' What do we do when work seems so tedious, life is unfair, fools get ahead, nothing makes us happy, old age treats us with cruelty, and our eventual death seems so depressing? The Preacher hopes to answer that question by looking at the futility of life fromGod's high and wise perspective. Pastor Steve invites you to jump feet-first into life's most knotty questions as we travel through the fourteen winding and circuitous chapters of the Book of Ecclesiastes.
