Dan Gets ready! |

Daughter Eliya cares for one of our little treasures. This week we fellowshiped with many of those who came in past weeks, and new friends as well. Dan was able to make a strong contact with a community leader, Jeffery, in the park on Saturday. He was able to learn much from Jeff about the history of the neighborhood.
Sherry prays with one of our neighbors in the park. Carver Park is a family gathering place for the Halyard neighborhood and for Lapham Street neighbors, who used to fight often. These neighborhoods are right next to Brewer's Hill, and are important target areas for the church plant. How providential that Carver Park is a place known for reconciliation. We are celebrating the wonderful month we have had meeting families in the park. Ministry has shifted from the Pubs, which while effective were family unfriendly, to family friendly parks in the beautiful summer months. However, winter comes soon in Milwaukee, and our evangelism focus will return to the pubs in the cold months, unless we can find and pay for a place to meet in our target neighborhood. Please keep praying for us. God may be calling you to help Friend of Sinners Church financially. If so, be sure to click on the links above to send your gift, or make your pledge to God's work. |
Dan preaches on Matthew 9:9-13, where Jesus calls Matthew to be His disciple. This is one of the places in Scripture where Jesus is called a friend of tax collectors and sinners. The Pharisees meant that as an insult, but we see it as glorifying Jesus, who loved us even when we were his enemies.
