RENEWING YOUR MIND-WEEKEND EDITION!May 10, 11: “Reliability of Sense Perception” - We’ve all had our senses fooled at one time or another. Perhaps a magician tricked your eyes. Or a chef deceived your taste buds. But generally speaking, we trust our senses. We believe what they tell us without questioning. This weekend, Dr. R.C. Sproul examines this assumption from a biblical perspective.Listen to Renewing Your Mind right here on 98.1 CKVN Saturday/Sunday at 8:00 pm
VOICE OF THE MARTYRS – Iran - Thank the Lord that Farshid was eventually able to receive medical attention after being injured by the guards in the brutal Evin prison. Pray that he will continue to recover, and that he will promptly receive any further necessary treatment.

May he continue to look to our resurrected Lord for strength and grace while serving Him behind bars until granted release.

How precious are the blessings that God brings to us through the covenant relationship He has established with His people.
We express our sincere sympathy to Mrs. Willy Dykslag in the death of her husband, Louis. “Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His saints.” Condolences are also expressed to brother John & Hilda Dykslag, sisters-in-law Audrey Dykslag and Betty Dykslag, nieces Patty Dykslag and family, Brenda (Brent) Irvine & fam. and Bev (Richard) Grisnich & fam., nephew John (Sadie) Dykslag & fam., and the extended Dykslag and DeJager families.

As the school year is drawing to a close, we just wanted to once again express our thanks to the congregation for their faithful support of us while we're at seminary. Your financial support has kept us from having to worry about money too much, so we've really been able to focus on our calling here, as well as growing together as a married couple. We thank you also for your faithful prayers and encouragement to us.
