Have you called out to Jesus
in the midst of your storm?
There was no storm as we gath-
ered for praise and worship in
God’s house
Bobby and Donna led us in a
worship song before we were
dismissed to our Sunday school

The young people learned
about how leaders care about
God’s people. I am thankful for
the leaders we have now in
church and also for the ones we
have had in the past
As we gathered back for serv-
ices we were once again led by
Bobby and Donna singing some
great songs We are glad that
jesus is walking close to us.

power in prayer

excited about the housewarming
they were given last weekend
They are very thankful to be in

Bro. Mike’s sermon was from

the demonstration of the deity of
Christ. The disciples were dis-
gruntled, and they got their feel-
•ngs hurt Our plans are not
ilways God's plans. God’s ways
