Ladies Bible Study


"The Vision Of His Glory" is a Bible Study created by Anne Graham Lotz. If you have never read the book of Revelation, or sometime in the past, you tried to read it but lost your way or grew weary, this book will guide you to a new understanding of the vision of Christ's glory. With skilled teaching, an inspiring sense of wonder, practical insight and heart-touching parables, Anne brings clarity to the glorious pageantry and imagery of the book of Revelation. Sharing her passion for God's Word, she will lead you step by step through John's eyewitness account of God's plan for our future. The Vision of His Glory brings you to an intimate encounter with the Lord Jesus Christ, our one Source of true, life-changing hope.
Our church will begin a seven week series of this study on May 4. The study will begin at 6:00 PM and run weekly on Monday nights. All ladies are invited. A book to correspond with the study will be needed and the cost is $7.00. Books need to be ordered soon. If you are interested in participating, please see Kisha L.

Caroline's mother and father will both have surgery this week. Please keep them all in your prayers.
Meghan T. suffered an ankle injury and had an appointment this week to discuss treatment. Surgery will be necessary and the arrangements are being made.
Laura M. who is Norine B.'s granddaughter, received some unfavorable test results. Treatment will be planned for her soon.

Communion This Sunday

Communion is a memorial of Jesus Christ's body being broken for sin and His blood being shed to atone for sin. The bread was broken to remember how Jesus Christ was broken. It does not become the literal body of our Lord but rather it SYMBOLIZES that body. The cup of juice is also a SYMBOL of Christ's blood . When you participate in its commemoration, you are testifying that Jesus Christ died for YOU and shed His blood for YOU. You are remembering what He did for YOU. Every time you partake of the elements in commemoration of that last supper, you are giving personal testimony that Jesus Christ rose from the dead and is alive today. That is of course what the gospel is a all about!

The message of the Lord's supper is one of SELF-EXAMINATION for the Christian. God doesn't want you to partake of the elements in the Lord's supper as if you are eating a normal meal. He wants you to me sober and praying to make sure everything is right between you and Him.

The main thing to remember is that this is a time for REMEMBRANCE .

1 Corinthians 11:23-26 (King James Version)

For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, that the Lord Jesus the same night in which he was betrayed took bread:

And when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me.

After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, this cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me.

For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord's death till he come.
