Sunday October 16  "My affection for God is a reflection of my spiritual health" This Sunday in the morning services I will  examine a true test of where we are spiritually.  What is the greatest test of spirituality, some would say it is duty, doing the right thing.  We might be surprised at what the Lord says to a group of Christians years ago.  It is not what you do but who you are that is the priority.  Are you a person who truly loves God?  It is out of this relationship that God honoring service comes.  We will soon run out of spiritual gas if duty is our prime driving force.  Love for God will propel us to ever greater heights spiritually. Chris will be speaking on "Power In Persecution" this Sunday night New Sermon Series by Billy and Chris  Coming in November In my world. . .  The folks from our church helped peel over 140 bushels of apples for Grace Bible Camp, the money goes to the camper-ship fund to help needy campers Deacon on Deck for October: Mike Wade Please, please, please help us make our new members feel welcome at the New Member Welcome reception following the Sunday night service on November 20, mark your calendar Missionary family of the week:Tim and Jessica Robertson-Battambang, Cambodia Wednesdays, 7 PM, the Victory Bible Class is continuing the "Crazy Love" series Several men from the church washed the building and stained the deck around our classroom building, thanks guys Doesn't seem possible but we have begun work on the Thanksgiving Baskets for needy in our area, contact office if you would like to help Congratulations to Michelle Montgomery on passing her driving test to enable her to drive the church bus, way to go!
