A MESSAGE FROM BRO. PAUL:
Welcome. Thank you for worshiping with us today. If you are a guest we are esp ecially happy to welcome you. There is a connection card in the pew rack in front of you. Please fill it out and drop it in the offering plate. Then sit back, relax and worship the Lord with us.
Father's Day. The first passage of scripture I think of when I think of Father's Day is the First Psalm. It contains the best advice I know of on how to be a good father/person. Here it is: Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked or stand in the way of sinners or sit in the seat of mockers. But his delight is in the law of the Lord, and on his law he meditates day and night. He is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither. Whatever he does prospers. Not so the wicked! They are like chaff that the wind blows away. Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous. For the Lord watches over the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked will perish.
Undie Sunday. Today our men's ministry will be passing out bags as you exit the worship center. Please fill them with new underwear in your size and bring them back next week. Just leave the bag behind your car and our men will pick it up. The underwear will be a blessing to those we minister to in our clothing ministry.
Vacation Bible School, a.k.a. Kidz Blitz, begins tomorrow. You can sign up in the lobby. It will be great… better than that! I love you,
Bro. Paul
