Pastor Dan Bartl will start a new series on Philippians and speak “A Life of Joy —Part 1,” at 10:30 a.m. Sunday, April 12 at The Island Church, 503 Cascade Ave. in Langley.

There are many different formulas for happiness, but most of them are conditional. If they are conditional then when the conditions change the happiness also changes. In the Bible, the book of Philippians gives us God’s formula for happiness and it involves joy.

Sunday School for ages 3 to adult starts at 9:15 a.m. followed by the worship service. For details, visit www.islandchurchofwhidbey.org.
