We welcome these from everyone in our community, and encourage all our Kroc Krew to lift up these requests in your own way. Don’t forget that you are always welcome to attend devotions on Tuesday mornings at 9:30 am in the Administration Foyer; if you have a prayer request to share, you can post it on the board in the lobby, use the online form, or contact a member of the Kroc Church team.

• Prayers for a safe and fun year of summer day camp!
• Prayers for Ron (one of our members) after a medical emergency.

Each week, we feature a “Note from the Pastor” and Bible verse from Captain Jack Huffman and the Kroc Church team. If you ever want to hear more about these topics, join us for Kroc Church Sunday mornings at 10am.

Don’t Miss The Moment – 2 Corinthians 5:11-21

After experiencing a heavy loss in the family at the passing of my stepmother (a.k.a. mom) my heart was immediately filled with fear. Not a fear of what would we as a family would do without her in our lives or a fear about how our father would handle this loss, but a fear of realizing that her passing held eternal consequences.

When we all leave this world, we will either enter the Kingdom of Heaven for eternity or pass through the gates of Hell. The fear I experienced for my mom was the fear of not knowing if she would spend eternity free from pain and anguish or be doomed to spend eternity separated from God.

I want to encourage you that we are called as Christians to share the good news of God’s saving grace with the people we know especially those in our families so we can have assurance of their salvation when they pass. Although we cannot save people, we can point them to the cross and pray that they will come into a lifesaving relationship with Christ through the leading of the Holy Spirit.

Today make certain you do not miss the moment in the sharing of God’s saving grace listen to the prompting of the Holy Spirit and make yourself available. Pray for boldness and ask the Holy Spirit for the words to say. Be the light to those around you and trust in God to make the moments available to you and your loved ones so you can rest assured and know that they are truly free indeed when they pass from this Earth and into eternity.
