We welcome the Jr. Church children to sing and participate in the 10:30 worship service today. These children are our church of tomorrow. It is both our privilege and solemn responsibility to develop within them a love of corporate worship in reverence and praise to God. If they do not learn early the blessings and benefits of meeting together as the Body of Christ, they will inevitably question its relevance in years to come. Please make them a part of our service today. Help them share in the singing, prayer and preaching of God's Word. Appreciate that they might not understand everything or have questions. Talk with them afterward about the service. Even if they were quietly playing with a toy or drawing a picture and appeared not to be paying attention, they were listening. It will amaze you what they heard! The children in our church look to each of us to be 'examples of the believer in word and deed' that they will follow - let's make the most of this wonderful opportunity

Straight from Steve

            Let’s all encourage Jeremy in his desire to serve the Lord as a preacher. It is a privilege to know him and his heart for God. We have a wonderful opportunity here to help him gain experience and mature in the faith. We are in need of more preachers. This special time of ordination, setting apart to ministry, will always be a special day for Jeremy. This day of decision has come about after much prayer, study, and seeking the Lord’s will. God bless you Jeremy!
Brother Steve Dye, missionary to Venezuela, is going to speak to us tonight on the parable of the prodigal son. Be sure to come back for that.

In His Service,

Steve D. Henderson
