Sunday School Fellowship

Saturday night at the home of Dave and Kathy B., the adult Sunday School class (Chip C.'s class) will hold a cook out.  Meat will be provided and those attending are asked to bring a covered food dish to compliment hamburgers.  You are encouraged to come out and enjoy a great time of fellowship.  Kids are welcome to come and bring their fishing rods!

National Day of Prayer

The 59th Annual National Day of Prayer will take place today. Millions will unite in prayer at thousands of events from coast to coast. The theme for this year is “Prayer for Such a Time as This” and is based on the verse from Nahum 1:7 which states: “The LORD is good, a refuge in times of trouble. He cares for those who trust in Him.”

Our community will hold a special service at City Hall beginning at 12:15 PM.  This will be a blessed opportunity to pray with our church leaders of our community.  If you are not able to attend, please be in prayer today for our nation, our churches and our families.

Future Church Softball Players…

As our men are gearing up for church softball, our young ones have got their game on!  Here are some pictures from a recent Saturday morning at the ball park:

“Check his pulse.” You might hear a medic holler this out as they approach a heart attack victim. This first step is of vital importance. Every moment counts as the EMT works to save the life of the victim. Someone’s pulse reveals how strong their heart is pumping life-giving blood through their body. This first moment of evaluation can mean life or death. Although this is an extreme situation, taking a pulse does not only happen in an emergency. It is also taken routinely at a doctor’s appointment, after a workout, or just by one’s choice. It is a good way to determine the health of one’s heart at any given time.

In order to experience spiritual revival, we need to check the condition of our heart spiritually as well. Regular spiritual checkups will help us to better determine how healthy we are in our relationship with God. A great verse to use for your regular check up would be Mark 12:30-31. Compare your love for God and your love for others to your love for yourself and you have a clear picture of where you are spiritually. 

If  there are areas that need some reviving, ask the Lord to fill our needs and restore our passion for Him, His plans and will and come to revival ready to be touched and filled.

 

Taking our Spiritual Pulse
 

1. I have no real excitement about my relationship with God (Psalm 85:6).

Not ever ,  Rarely ever,  Occasionally,  True more times,  Definitely true of me  true of me
2. Prayer is a chore and I rarely have a desire to do it. I could live without it (Mark 1:35).

 

Not ever ,  Rarely ever,  Occasionally,  True more times,  Definitely true of me  true of me

3. The Bible seems dry and boring to me. I do not enjoy studying it. (2 Timothy 2:15).

Not ever ,  Rarely ever,  Occasionally,  True more times,  Definitely true of me  true of me

4. I easily give into sinful things that I know are displeasing to God (1 Timothy 6:11-12).

Not ever ,  Rarely ever,  Occasionally,  True more times,  Definitely true of me  true of me

5. I have no regular involvement in a ministry of any kind (Mark 10:45).

Not ever ,  Rarely ever,  Occasionally,  True more times,  Definitely true of me  true of me

Revival is the process of restoring someone to a renewed state of fellowship with God. It always starts in the hearts of individual Christians. (Mark 12:30-31)
