Greetings in the name of Jesus Christ!
Faith for my deliverance is not faith in God. Faith means, whether I am visibly delivered or not, I will stick to my belief that God is love. There are some things only learned in a fiery furnace. (Oswald Chambers)
Sunday is coming! We will gather together to worship Almighty God! I'll be preaching the second sermon in this series on the book of Jude! We'll be specifically talking about Jude verses 3 & 4. Make sure you read Jude every week during this series! It's 25 verses - easy reading to prepare for Sunday.
Stephanie asked me to tell all workers in the coming Wednesday after school program to let her know your T-shirt size. You can get this info to her at gilchriststephanie10@gmail.com.
Make sure you read the "School Supplies" list insert in the bulletin Sunday!

Mary Bearden is needing to line up groups and people who will take care of the 11 times meals will be served on Wednesday nights beginning on September 13th! Each group is responsible for set-up, food/drinks, and clean-up.

You're invited to an Ice Cream Social this Sunday, August 20th, from 5:30 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. at the parsonage, 3105 Martindale! Bring your favorite homemade ice cream, Blue Bell, cookies, lawn chairs, etc., and let's enjoy together the last evening before school starts!
A Sunday school teacher asked her class of small girls if one of them could quote the 23rd Psalm. A girl timidly raised her hand and said she could. She stood in front of the class and said, "The Lord is my shepherd. That's all I want."
May God abundantly bless you and yours!
Peace like a river,
