MEALS FOR THE BEREAVED
So that we can more effectively minister to the bereaved members of our church family, a list of various ways in which you can help is on the table in the foyer. Please take one and check the areas in which you are willing to help and return it to Jerry Moore, the coordinator of the meals.
IN SEARCH OF THE LORD’S WAY
The Encyclopedia of American Religion lists 2,300 different religions in this country. There must be a way to work through all the confusion to find what the Lord desires from us. How can we know what God really wants from us? Is there a standard of truth to lead us out of this confusion? In next week’s lesson, “Religious Confusion,” Phil Sanders, the program’s speaker, will address these and related questions. The program can be seen locally every Sunday at 7:30 a.m. on WTRF-TV, ch. 7.
