REMINDER: One Service, Sunday Sept 5th, 9:30am
Our Next Sermon Series...beginning September 5th...
There were many desperate people in Jesus day that He reached out and helped. In September, we will begin a seven-week sermon series of seven different women whose lives reflect the desperation that many still feel today.
One woman made choices when she was younger, but regrets as an adult. Yet, many people still can't forgive and forget. Another woman's self-esteem, so low, had married 5-times, all failed, and later moved-in with a man. Right out of our culture today isn't it?
A third woman, bankrupt, physical problems, out-of-money and out-of-specialist. No Medicare, but still sick...where to turn? Yet another, lost her retirement income a few years before she couldn't work anymore. The system had failed her. Sound familiar? Another woman had back problems, hunched in pain, but back then, there was no such thing as back surgery.
A sixth woman, arrested for prostitution, but arresting officers conveniently let the man go so the woman was by herself in front of the court with no attorney to defend her. Are people today in our courts who have made bad choices?
Finally, a woman extremely grateful for a gift given to her but didn't know how to show it. When she finally did give her token of thanks, she was criticized by the people around her. Do you know of anyone criticized for doing a good deed?
Not just Bible stories, but human stories, still experienced today. Invite someone you know to this sermon series. Your invitation may lead someone you know to the place of healing they desperately need.
Meet our newest members: Carol Farris, Chad & Mauri Blankenship, Cole Blankenship, and Mackenzie Schwertner. Welcome! __________________________________________________________________________
Kindergarten through fifth graders....Get ready for the exciting new Sunday School, Power Express. Beginning Sunday September 12th. Click image for more information.
What is the Truth? Is truth relative? Does it depend on what people think the truth is? On Monday, October 4th, we will begin a six-week discussion of the Truth that is taught in the Bible and the truth that the world teaches people. If you want to talk intelligibly to people about the truth of your faith, this is a must attend workshop.
Each evening we will begin with a presentation from 6-7 in the Sanctuary followed by discussion groups for 20-minutes. These groups are optional. The seminar is free. Child care will be provided.
