IN NEED OF TEACHERS
The new teaching quarter starts soon. Thank you to all the teachers who spend their time and efforts in this important ministry. We are always looking for more teachers. If you have any interest at all, or have questions about how you can get involved, see Angel Baker or Sally McDiffitt. Even if you’ve never taught, it is a great way to serve, and a very important ministry.

IN SEARCH OF THE LORD’S WAY
How seriously do you take your Bible? Did you know it’s God’s Word and can lead you to eternal life? Everyone has a great need to hear what God has to say about life, about sin, and about eternity. Are you listening?
Next week’s lesson by Phil Sanders is, “Listening To God”. The program can be seen locally every Sunday, 7:30a.m. on WTRF-TV, Ch. 7.
