IN NEED OF TEACHERS
Thank you to all the teachers who spend their time and efforts in this important ministry. We are always looking for more teachers. If you have any interest at all, or have questions about how you can get involved, see Angel Baker or Sally McDiffitt. Even if you’ve never taught, it is a great way to serve, and a very important ministry.

The church office is looking for any tall cylindrical CD cases used to store stacks of CDs or DVDs. If you have some we could use, drop them off in Joyce’s office.

IN SEARCH OF THE LORD’S WAY
Dr. Jeff Miller’s new book, Science vs. Evolution, explores how science falls far short of being able to explain the origin of life. In fact, science cannot produce any evidence for how life came to be on this earth.
Next week’s lesson by Phil Sanders is, “The Origin of Life”. The program can be seen locally every Sunday, 7:30a.m. on WTRF-TV, Ch. 7.
