August 2, 2014

Welcome!  "One generation shall praise your works to another" (Psalm 145:4, NKJV). We come together -- young, old and in between -- to praise the Lord and celebrate his works.

This Morning Bill brings us the message Myths of Christian Education. The Seventh-day Adventist Church operates the 2nd largest private school system in the world. Our offering and part of our tithe money goes to support Christian Education, so this a topic for all of us. If you talk to enough people, you'll hear a lot of different opinions about Christian Education not all of which are accurate.

Next Week the message is Who Are We #10: Spiritual Gifts. We believe that God's people are to be led by the Holy Spirit.  When we are spirit led, God will give us special gifts to help us function in the manner in which God created us.  We also believe in the spirit of prophecy as an important gift for our understanding of end time events, and our church was blessed with the ministry of Ellen White as someone with that gift.

Wednesday Night Fellowship begins on August 6th at 7pm in the Youth Room. This an opportunity for people to gather for a time of study and prayer. Invite a friend!

On August 16th the message is Who Are We #11: Stewardship. While God made this world, He entrusted us to take care of his creation.  The Bible says, "each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God's grace in its various forms" (1 Peter 4:10). We also show stewardship by taking care of ourselves by living a life of temperance, and being faithful in giving back to God a portion of what He has given to us.

Flowers today are from the Aumack's for their 29th Anniversary.
