This Sunday in the morning services we will be looking at the importance of "Kindness" in our lives.  We are finishing up our series on Proverbs.  We can chose the direction of kindness in our lives and actually be blessed or we can chose the way of cruelty and suffer ourselves because of it. 

A kind man benefits himself, but a cruel man brings trouble on himself.   Proverbs 11:17 (NIV)
Join us this Sunday find out why kindness is so important for others and for us.
 

Sunday Night July 31 7 PM
We are joining the congregation of the Covington Bible Church for a special movie night.  Please note time change.  The movie Grace Card will be shown for adults and teens, there will be a special movie just for children shown at the same time.  The Covington Bible Church is located on South Carpenter Drive and Howard Merrell is the pastor.  Hope you can join us Sunday night.

What is character? We will be attemping to answer that question this Sunday as we continue in our inProv series.  We hear many voices in our world lamenting the loss of character.
Exactly what is it?  We will talk about ethics, morality and integrity.  I am going to focus on one proverb:


He who walks with integrity walks securely, But he who perverts his ways will become known.  Proverbs 10:9 (NKJV) 

My goal is for you to come away with one important truth and this is it:

My walk and talk should match

Does your walk match your talk image

There will be no main service Sunday night due to TEEN WEEK

In my world. . . 

  • Praise the Lord we had two new members join this week: Cindy and Allison Fox
    
  • Deacon on Deck for July: Howard Nicely
  • Our praise team and drama team will be invovled in Teen Week
  • Missionary family of the week: Mark and Teresa Jacobsen located in Flordia with a ministry to the Haitian population

This Sunday we are in our series on the Book of Proverbs.  We are talking about a subject this Sunday that everyone is interested in: money.  I will be breaking down one proverb that gives us a rock-solid financial prinicipal that we ignore at our own risk.  Hope you can join us for this entire series, as we look in Proverbs for God's view on our everyday life.

Dakota Nicely and Tanner Seay finished the roof on the Children's Building last week.  Thanks guys and thanks to Steve All who got them ready to go.

 Would you be willing to be a check mate? As our church has grown, it is sometimes hard to keep up with everyone who is attending.
We all sit in the same pew every Sunday morning. If we could find someone who would be responsible for each pew, a check mate. If a regular attender is missing for a couple of weeks give them a call or send them a card, remember their birthday etc. In other words keep a check on your pew. We have 37 pews so we would need 37 people in each of the two morning services to become"check-mates". I am very thankful for those of you who have signed up to be a check mate. If you would be interested in participating please call Elaine at the church office (962-6335)
