Speaking this Sabbath is Simon Liversidge, our Lead Pastor, with "The Kingdom Without the King." Jesus tells a parable of a wedding banquet in Matthew 22, where He invites everyone. Jesus wants everyone to respond, but they don't. Responding, though, means I don't just show up; I take the robe of righteousness Jesus freely offers. This is similar to what happens when I am baptized. Baptism is a continual gift of God's spirit, and a reminder God invites me to ask Him to do something amazing. 

The All Church potluck will be hosted by Becky Krueger’s team. If you are visiting CVC, please join us in Heartland Hall immediately after the church service. CVC members, please bring enough food for your family plus six others.

Upcoming potlucks:
February 21 - Forks and Friendship hosted by Steve Ladig’s team
February 28 - Forks and Friendship hosted by Carol Silva’s team
March 7 - Forks and Friendship hosted by Cecilia Liversidge’s team
March 14 - All Church potluck hosted by Janya Mekelburg’s team

Prayer Focus: "God’s forgiveness is not merely a judicial act which He sets us free from condemnation. It is not only forgiveness for sin, but reclaiming from sin. It is the overflow of redeeming love that transforms the heart. David had the true conception of forgiveness when he prayed, Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me. Psalm 51:10." (Prayer, pg. 298, E.G.White) Send your prayer requests and praises to Dina Horst at 402.420.5970. Thank you!
