WHEN HOPE IS FED
This week join us as we continue our journey through 1 Peter and discover what truly fuels a life of hope, conviction, and spiritual growth. In a world filled with distractions and empty substitutes, Peter challenges us to ask a hard question: what are we really feeding our souls with? Because the truth is, we will never stand strong in a weak and drifting world if we are starving ourselves spiritually. So join us this Sunday to find out.
Join us at Tompkins High School at 10:00 am. The link to watch LIVE is on our YouTube Channel. You can go to our home page on our website or our App to connect.
God bless,
Pastor Scott

BE A BLESSING MOMENT
This May, we have a simple but powerful opportunity to remind moms in our community that they are seen, loved, and not forgotten. We’ll be handing out over 100 carnations to mothers coming out of Kroger, and while it may seem like a small gesture, moments like this can mean far more than we realize. Last year, one woman broke down in tears because her children no longer speak to her, and that flower became more than a flower, it became a reminder that God still sees her. If you would love to be part of showing the kindness of Jesus in a simple but meaningful way, come join us. Sign up here or on the church app!
Sometimes the smallest acts of love open the biggest doors for hope.

JOIN US ON MAY 31 AS WE SHARE OUR VISION
After spending time meeting with our members and truly listening to their hearts, we believe God has been shaping something clear and purposeful for the future of Living Stones Church. This has not been a rushed process, but a prayerful one, rooted in discernment and unity. On May 31st, during our potluck supper, we will unveil our 5-year vision and the direction we believe God is leading us. This is more than plans on paper, it is a calling we are stepping into together. We would love for you to be there as we take this next step as a church family.

NEW MEN'S BIBLE STUDY:THE BOOK OF JOB
We are starting a new study on the Book of Job, where we will discover that righteous people still suffer and that God is often doing far more than we can understand. We will learn that honest wrestling is not the same as unbelief, that bad theology can deeply hurt people, and that God’s presence is greater than His explanations. Along the way, we will see that while restoration does not erase suffering, God redeems it, and that our relationship with Him can endure questions, pain, silence, and confusion when we keep turning toward Him.
Men, join us every Tuesday night for our Men’s Bible Study as we open God’s Word together and grow in faith, character, and brotherhood. This is a space to be challenged, encouraged, and sharpened through Scripture and honest conversation.
We meet weekly from 6:30 to 8:00 pm. Directions and details will be available on the church app.
