What if following Jesus isn't just about becoming a better person? What if it's about becoming a new person altogether?

Join us this Sunday as we begin our new series, The New Way to Be Human. In Romans 6, we'll discover how Jesus invites us into a brand-new life—a life shaped by grace, freedom, and resurrection hope.

Our Bible readings will be Jeremiah 20:7-13, Psalm 69:7-18, Romans 6:1-11, and Matthew 10:24-39.

We will sing these songs on Sunday, June 21st:

• Order of Worship: Celebration of Grace: Country Gospel Service
• “Children of the Heavenly Father” LBW 474

We all serve something. Success. Comfort. Approval. Fear. Ambition. Romans 6 reminds us that true freedom isn't found in serving ourselves—it's found in belonging to Jesus. Join us Sunday, June 28th, as we continue The New Way to Be Human and wrestle with an important question: Whose servant are you?

Our Bible readings will be Jeremiah 28:5-9, Psalm 89:1-4, 15-18; Romans 6:12-23, and Matthew 10:40-42.

We will sing these songs on Sunday, June 28th:

• “Great is Thy Faithfulness” WOV 771

Upcoming Events and Opportunities to Serve

New Sunday Morning Bible Class—Prayer - Starting Sunday: Everyone prays—or at least wonders if they should. But what is prayer? Does it really make a difference? Why does God want us to pray? And how did Jesus teach his followers to pray? Join us on Sunday mornings at 9am starting June 28th as we explore the theology and practice of prayer. Together we'll discover what makes Christian prayer unique, what prayer is (and isn't), why we pray, how we pray, and what we can learn from the prayer priorities of Jesus. Whether prayer comes naturally to you or feels like a struggle, this study will encourage and strengthen your conversation with God. 

A Missional Community is waiting for YOU -  We have Missional Communities for people who want to encourage each other and integrate faith and life. If you are interested or have questions, you can talk with our pastor.

We partner with Tumbleweed to provide a hot lunch for 60-75 youth and young adults at least once a month. Tumbleweed provides safety, assistance, and hope to our community’s vulnerable and homeless youth, creating lasting life changes. If you are interested in this opportunity, let us know.

Here are some other ways we serve the Billings community:

• Cookie Drive for Tumbleweed (February)
• Mother's Day Diaper Drive for the Community Diaper Bank at Family Promise (May)
• School Supplies for Ponderosa Elementary (August)
• Clothing Drive for Tumbleweed (October)
• Christmas Eve Offering is given to a local non-profit (December)

Prayer Requests? Joy has a team that gathers for prayer twice a month. Additionally, we pray for our prayer list regularly between those times. If you or someone you know needs prayers, please let us know. All prayer requests are kept confidential. You can either:

• Connect with a member of the prayer ministry team (Mary Ann Hall, Deb Lane, Diane Summers, Carol Wahl, Jan Wolf, Dave Hall),
• Call or email the church office
• Or submit a prayer and let us know  “How Can We Pray For You?”

So we fasted and petitioned our God about this, and he answered our prayer. - Ezra 8:23
