GLEANER CANS
There are gleaner cans available on the table in the back hallway to collect your loose change to help with the Potter’s Children’s Home. There are due back in November.
IN NEED OF TEACHERS
Thank you to all the teachers who spend their time and efforts in this crucial ministry! We are always looking for more teachers, and we especially need teachers for the upcoming Fall Quarter. Material are available on the table outside the youth minister’s office.
If you have any interest at all, or have questions about how you can get involved, see Angel Baker, Sally McDiffitt, or Darla Yazombek. Even if you’ve never taught, it is a great way to get involved in the life of our church.
IN SEARCH OF THE LORD’S WAY
Every faithful Christian longs to live eternally in heaven with God. Heaven is a blessed place free from the pain and the sin found in this world. Only those whose names are written in the Lamb’s book of life may enter.
Next week’s lesson by Phil Sanders is, “Heaven”. The program can be seen locally every Sunday, 7:30a.m. on WTRF-TV, Ch. 7.
