VACATION BIBLE SCHOOL
Have you reserved the dates of Aug. 5-9 on your calendars yet so you and your family can be a part of this summer’s exciting VBS? The theme is “Peter, A Fisher of Men.” Again, there will be classes for the adults which have been quite a success since they began 4 years ago.
IN SEARCH OF THE LORD’S WAY
While God freely gives us salvation, discipleship demands everything. To be a disciple of Christ, we must put Him first; but the privilege of discipleship is worth every sacrifice. In next week’s presentation, “The Cost Of Discipleship,” the program’s speaker Phil Sanders will discuss that sacrifice. The weekly program can be seen Sundays at 7:30 a.m. on WTRF-TV, Ch. 7.
