OUTREACH
If you are interested in getting together with others who are interested in praying and planning for a more effective outreach ministry, please let Brian Games know so he can begin scheduling times for us to get together.
IN SEARCH OF THE LORD’S WAY
In next week’s lesson, “The Word Was God,” Phil Sanders will begin a new series on why we should believe Jesus Is Lord! Jesus was the Divine Word of God in John 1:1. He came and dwelt among men in order to redeem mankind. For this reason God highly exalted Him so that everyone will confess that He is Lord to the glory of the Father. The weekly program can be seen Sundays on WTRF-TV, Ch. 7, at 7:30 a.m.
WAYS TO MINISTER TO OTHERS
Your old eyeglasses (especially ones for reading) continue to be needed for various mission points.
We are still collecting cartridges from Inkjets and Faxes to help with the support of the children who reside at the Shulz-Lewis Children’s Home in Valparaiso, Indiana.
We are collecting the fronts of used greeting cards. (No Christmas Cards, please.)
“Box Tops for Education” and “Campbell’s Labels for Education” are needed by Mid-Western Children’s Home.
If you want to help with any of these ongoing ministries, please bring the items and place them in the appropriate containers on the table in the hallway.
