We are located at 2415 McCann Road in the little village of Irving Michigan. In our historic (1878) brick building we use the historic King James Bible at all our services. We are traditional old fashioned Christians , using the old fashioned types of services from the 1928 Book of Common Prayer. We feel it is our duty as Christians in the Church to try, with the Holy Spirit's guidance, to bring others to Christ and thereby change the world, and not to instead let the world change the Church.
Please join us for worship this week to see if you think we are the church that you have been looking for.

The Collect The Text for This Week's Sermon
The Eighth Sunday after Trinity
The Collect
O GOD, whose never-failing providence ordereth all things both in heaven and earth; We humbly beseech thee to put away from us all hurtful things, and to give us those things which are profitable for us; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen
​​Psalm 34. Benedicam Dominum. I WILL alway give thanks unto the Lord; * his praise shall ever be in my mouth. 2 My soul shall make her boast in the Lord; * the humble shall hear thereof, and be glad. 3 O praise the Lord with me, * and let us magnify his Name together. 4 I sought the Lord, and he heard me; * yea, he delivered me out of all my fear. 5 They had an eye unto him, and were lightened; * and their faces were not ashamed. 6 Lo, the poor crieth, and the Lord heareth him; * yea, and saveth him out of all his troubles. 7 The angel of the Lord tarrieth round about them that fear him, * and delivereth them. 8 O taste, and see, how gracious the Lord is: * blessed is the man that trusteth in him. 9 O fear the Lord, ye that are his saints; * for they that fear him lack nothing. 10 The lions do lack, and suffer hunger; * but they who seek the Lord shall want no manner of thing that is good. 11 Come, ye children, and hearken unto me; * I will teach you the fear of the Lord. 12 What man is he that lusteth to live, * and would fain see good days? 13 Keep thy tongue from evil, * and thy lips, that they speak no guile. 14 Eschew evil, and do good; * seek peace, and ensue it. 15 The eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, * and his ears are open unto their prayers. 16 The countenance of the Lord is against them that do evil, * to root out the remembrance of them from the earth. The Psalter 380 Psalm 34 Day 6 17 The righteous cry, and the Lord heareth them, * and delivereth them out of all their troubles. 18 The Lord is nigh unto them that are of a contrite heart, * and will save such as be of an humble spirit. 19 Great are the troubles of the righteous; * but the Lord delivereth him out of all. 20 He keepeth all his bones, * so that not one of them is broken. 21 But misfortune shall slay the ungodly; * and they that hate the righteous shall be desolate. 22 The Lord delivereth the souls of his servants; * and all they that put their trust in him shall not be destitute.

We pray for our Armed Forces at each of our Morning and Evening Prayer services.
​
O LORD God of Hosts, stretch forth, we pray thee, thine almighty arm to strengthen and protect the Armed Forces of our country and those of our allies; Support them in the day of battle, and in the time of peace keep them safe from all evil; endue them with courage and loyalty; and grant that in all things they may serve without reproach; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen
​
Memorial Days
ALMIGHTY God, our heavenly Father, in whose hands are the living and the dead; We give thee thanks for all those thy servants who have laid down their lives in the service of our country. Grant to them thy mercy and the light of thy presence, that the good work which thou hast begun in them may be perfected; through Jesus Christ thy Son our Lord. Amen.
Memorial Day in Middleville 2022
“
Church is the only place where you can arrive late and still get a front-row seat”.
Today I want to talk about why, and how, we should be worshiping God together each week.
​
​
Psalm 84:2 “My soul hath a desire and longing to enter into the courts of the Lord; my heart and my flesh rejoice in the living God.”
When many people think of a church service may think of it in terms of people doing a service for God.
In reality though, in a Christian worship service, God is the “giver”.
In true Christian worship God's Holy Spirit reaches into our lives and into our souls.
Like the writer of today's psalm we should come into God's house, not because we want to impress God or others, but because we are willing to accept the gift of the Holy Spirit that God offers us.
Even before the covid-19 illness there were unfortunately many things that could keep us from worshiping God as we should.
There are more and more things that take place on Sundays in recent years that seem to keep people from entering
“into the courts of the Lord”.
Even when we do come to church worship we need to be careful not to let feelings of self-satisfaction with having “made it”, or fears of becoming “too involved” keep us from receiving the full blessings of His Grace.
Saint Paul in his Epistle to the Galatians 5thChapter 17thverse tells them, (and us today as well):
“For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary the one to the other; so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.”
During the whole course of our lives we are in this struggle as Christians.
We must continue to fight against not
doing our duty to worship each week, because we need
that blessing of the Holy Spirit we receive in His worship.
We are told that ,
“as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.”
Christians through faith in Jesus Christ, are “children of God”
and “heirs of heaven”
and our thankfulness for that, should bring us rejoicing into the
“courts of the Lord” at least each week.
Let us pray
Almighty God,who through thy church hast consecrated the first day of the week to be a perpetual memorial of thy Son's resurrection: teach us so to reverence this holy day, that refreshed and renewed by thy Word and Sacrament, we may serve thee faithfully all our days ; through the same Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen
