Staff News – Special Edition!
Congratulations to Brandon, our Young Adult Leader, who is now engaged to be married to his fiancée Taylor! The engagement took place yesterday and they are excited for their future together! Please join me in praying for their marriage! If you see them around on Wednesday evenings, or in weekend worship, please share your congratulations with them. Both Brandon and Taylor are active with our Young Adult Bible Study that meets together and they attend worship on the weekend (they switch around which service they go to; sometimes Saturdays, sometimes Sundays). Congratulations Brandon and Taylor!

United as One Flesh
Genesis 2:19-24
19 Now the Lord God had formed out of the ground all the wild animals and all the birds in the sky. He brought them to the man to see what he would name them; and whatever the man called each living creature, that was its name. 20 So the man gave names to all the livestock, the birds in the sky and all the wild animals.
But for Adam no suitable helper was found. 21 So the Lord God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep; and while he was sleeping, he took one of the man’s ribs and then closed up the place with flesh. 22 Then the Lord God made a woman from the rib he had taken out of the man, and he brought her to the man.

23 The man said,

“This is now bone of my bones
and flesh of my flesh;
she shall be called ‘woman,’
for she was taken out of man.”

24 That is why a man leaves his father and mother and is united to his wife, and they become one flesh.
