Pastor Appreciation Reception to follow


Why do you say, O Jacob, and assert, O Israel, “My way is hidden from the Lord, And the justice due me escapes the notice of my God”? Do you not know? Have you not heard? The Everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth Does not become weary or tired. His understanding is inscrutable. He gives strength to the weary, And to him who lacks might He increases power. Though youths grow weary and tired, And vigorous young men stumble badly, Yet those who wait for the Lord Will gain new strength; They will mount up with wings like eagles, They will run and not get tired, They will walk and not become weary.

Isaiah 40:27-31

All members should plan to be in attendance for this important decision in the life of our church body.

Please remember that absentee ballots do not count towards a quorum.

This class is in need of one teacher to serve once a month during the 9:00 a.m. service and one teacher to serve once a month during the 10:30 a.m. service. If it is God’s will for us to have this ministry, then He has servants prepared to serve in this ministry. Please contact Lora West for more information.
