Update on Dalton: Dalton moved to a Hope Haven home in Hawarden yesterday as he is now transitioning to the adult services offered for him in Iowa. The home has two other clients living there and is staffed by Hope Haven. He will continue to go to school at Lifescape in Sioux Falls for the remainder of this calendar year. He will then likely be eligible for vocational rehabilitation, which will prepare him for some type of job that will occupy his days. Hope Haven will be the provider for his services during this time. He will spend his weekends and Sundays with his family as he has been doing. His new address is 1203 15th St. Hawarden, IA 51023. Visits at the home are welcome. He also now has an email address: daltonhopehaven@gmail.com. With his limited communication, we are unsure of how well he will accept these changes. We covet prayers for his contentment and understanding during this time, as well as safety in his daily travels to and from Sioux Falls. – The Heynens
Let us remember these saints and their families in our prayers. The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in him, and I am helped: therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth; and with my song will I praise him. (Psalm 28:7)
Erin Van Voorst was about 15 weeks pregnant and had a miscarriage last Friday. We express our sympathy to Kelly, Erin, and their family, and pray that our merciful heavenly Father may comfort them in their sorrow. As for me, this is my covenant with them, saith the LORD; My spirit that is upon thee, and my words which I have put in thy mouth, shall not depart out of thy mouth, nor out of the mouth of thy seed, nor out of the mouth of thy seed’s seed, saith the LORD, from henceforth and for ever. (Isaiah 59:21)

How does I Timothy 3:15-16 clearly identify true churches of God, so that no one will have an excuse for not belonging to such churches? How do the letters to the seven churches in Revelation 2 and 3 plainly warn Christians today of the real possibility that churches that once were sound and true have forsaken the truth and life of Christ and become false churches? Must every professing Christian, including Protestant Reformed Christians, be vigilant concerning the doctrinal faithfulness of his congregation and denomination? These and other questions related to church membership will be answered from scripture and the Reformed creeds by a public lecture in Hope Protestant Reformed Church (Walker, MI) on Friday, November 11, at 7:30 p.m. The speaker will be Prof. David J. Engelsma, retired professor of theology at the Protestant Reformed seminary. The lecture is sponsored by the Reformed Witness Committee of Hope church in celebration of Reformation Day.
