BORROWING TABLES OR CHAIRS
When borrowing chairs or tables for private use, please sign the list in the secretary’s office. Please use only the metal chairs and the brown-topped tables stored in the basement. Be sure to wipe them off and then sign the list when you return them.
IN SEARCH OF THE LORD’S WAY
When our hearts break and tragedy strikes, we desperately need the help of God to comfort and strengthen us. In tragic times, God has not abandoned or forgotten us. God doesn’t take away every pain, but He helps us through it to become better people. Phil Sanders will discuss some ways of dealing with this pain in next week’s sermon, “When Your Heart Breaks.” The program can be seen locally every Sunday at 7:30 a.m. on WTRF-TV, Ch. 7.
