Forward to Maturity Sermon Series – Fall 2026

The goal of the Christian life is not reaching a lowest common denominator of faith but rather “attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ” (Epe 4:13). The fruit of the Spirit describes the character of Christ, the goal toward which we are heading, and the people we are becoming. They are not a religious to-do list but something God works in us as we repent and believe the good news about Jesus.

10/25 -Galatians 5:22-23; Luke 6:35-36, “Kindness and Goodness: The Love of God in Action;” Jon Sherrill, preaching

11/1 – Jon Opgenorth, guest preacher

11/8 – Galatians 5:22-23; “Faithfulness and Gentleness;” Jon Sherrill, preaching

11/15 – Fifth Kids Musical – Old Testament: Fast Forward

Card-Making Event
You are invited to help members of the Caring Cards Team make greeting cards for all occasions, which we send later to members of our Fifth family. Please join us on Thursday, Nov. 5, at 6:45 PM in Community Room 2.

Each month, a different member of the Caring Cards Team sends cards on behalf of the Women’s Ministry at Fifth to our senior members (80+) celebrating a birthday, new parents, those who are homebound, sick, or grieving, and those who need encouragement.

All materials to make the cards will be provided. In addition to crafting some beautiful cards, we will enjoy fellowship with one another.

Remember, many hands make light work. If you are able to attend this event, please email Jan Tableman at jan.tableman@gmail.com or call her at 517-242-3129.

***Family Sabbath Summer Devotional Guide***

 

6-9-26 updated

We invite your family to join us this Sunday from 2-4 PM for a Family Sabbath Outing. This is not so much an event as an opportunity to practice a different pace together, creating intentional space to stop, rest, delight, and reflect on who God is. Families are welcome to come and stay as long as it works best for them, and simple self-guided prompts will be available to help guide your time. We’ll be outdoors for the entire outing, rain or shine, so please dress accordingly. We hope this shared time offers a glimpse of how Sabbath rhythms can become a meaningful part of family life.

 

5-26-26 updated

Moms and children are invited to gather for a relaxed time of connection, prayer, and play on Tuesday mornings from 9:30 am – 11:00 am at Manhattan Park. June 2, 9, 16, and 23. Come enjoy community, encourage one another, and let the kids have fun together at the park! Friends are welcome! Contact: Nichole Wilson, (616) 245-9247.
