Church Items
The prayer requests are on the back of the bulletin now. We also have included the prayer chain people and the way to send a request down the chain.
We want to update our church directory to include e-mail addresses for all of you who have e-mail. Please review the directories on the back table and make any needed changes and include your e-mail address. Leave the corrected copy on the back table or on the desk in the office.
There is also a birthday and anniversary list on the back table. If we do not have the correct date put it on the list.
We assure you that this information will be protected and will only be for those people who attend our fellowship. Your privacy will be protected.
This year we will be working on several projects that are needed. Let me know if you have any questions: a sign on the door to include times of services; updating the “sandwich” sign to place outside on Sundays; e-mail list for the church; repair damaged pews; revamp the sound system – if you can think of other needed projects let us know.
Prayer Requests for 2008
This list will be posted each week on the back of the bulletin. Items will be rotated after a time unless specifically requested that they stay on the list.
The requests do not need to be specific; illness, health, recuperation, critically ill, spiritual needs, and material needs are some of the categories that each request will be listed under.
The Prayer Chain can be called to start a request or you can give the requests to Greg on Sunday.
Requests:
- Missionaries - Marshall Craig, Ed Potter and Larry Morgan
- Nicholas,7 yr old boy, critically ill
- Mike Rogers, medical
- Dan Campeau, health
- Joy Sunderland, health and recuperation
- Bertha Cox, health
- Bertie, unspoken
Dog Driver
As I drove into a parking lot, I noticed that a pickup truck with a dog sitting behind the wheel was rolling toward a female pedestrian. She seemed oblivious, so I hit my horn to get her attention. She looked up just in time to jump out of the way of the truck's path, and the vehicle bumped harmlessly into the curb and stopped. I rushed to the woman's side to see if she was all right. "I'm fine," she assured me, "but I hate to think what could have happened to me if that dog hadn't honked."Today’s Sunday School Lesson
New Testament Postcard - I John 3:10-12 John’s readers had a sin-denial problem. There are certain attitudes which clearly indicate sin, and hate is one of them. Love for one another is a “first-principle” of the Christian life and is essential.
Today’s Sermon
I Corinthians 13, A Hymn to Love - Love is the greatest attitude of all; tongues, prophecy, and any and all sign gifts are worthless unless exercised with the attitude of love. Our desire is to be for love, not tongues. When Paul uses the word ''tongues" here, he is referring to the sign gift of speaking in tongues. It is ironic that in the most eloquent words that flowed from Paul to the Corinthians he expressed himself in the most poetic way possible about the unimportance of the words when speaking of tongues.

And this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us: And if we know that He hears us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the requests that we have asked of Him. I John 5:14-15
