In "Basic Training" we are looking at basic truths that we assume everyone understands.  These are important basics of the Christian Faith that we must understand to build our faith upon.  This week we are looking at our Heavenly Father.  Some of us have been disappointed by our earthly fathers but God is a father who will never disappoint, one whom we can rely upon throughout our lives.  Come and learn how the "Heavenly Father" can make a difference in your life June 16   "Heavenly Father" June 23   "Saved" This Sunday is Father's Day, we would like to recognize all the dads present and give them a gift on their special day. Because we want families to spend this special day together we will not have a Sunday night service this week.  God Bless you dads we hope you have a special day.                   Guess who this is?  Yep it is me, one of our young attenders in the Victory Bible Class named Genesis drew this for me Wednesday night, she even caught my mic.  Great job Genesis.

What a nice surprise we had at church last  Sunday night. Selena Davis our missionary from New Zealand dropped by for a visit. It was so nice to see her and to hear an update of what God is doing in that country.

Saw this plate last week and made me think about our upcoming sermon this Sunday on our "Heavenly Father" Our web site has been updated.  Why not check it out, just click on the above image to go to our church site.  Thanks to Albert Harris for his work on our site. This is the series we will be leading during Vacation Bible School we will be meeting each night from 6-7 PM in the Man Cave.  This is the first year we have had an adult class in many years hope you will join us as we take a fresh look at the famous story of the Prodigal Son This is my friend Howard Merrell as I see him most Thursday mornings at McDonalds.  Last Sunday he marked a real milestone in his life, he has been pastor at the Covington Bible Church for 40 years.  No small accomplishment when you consider we live in an age of short term pastorates.  I was never able to attend seminary, but I learned as much from Howard as I would any seminary professor.  His advice has been golden and has kept me in the game this long.  What makes a man come to a strange town plant his flag and dig in for the long haul?  Howard would say the grace of God, he would be right but you also have to be willing, thanks for being willing Howard.  Howard serves on various mission boards, travels extensively visiting missionaries in addition to pastoring.  He is the founder of Teenweek as we know it.  Many young men are in the ministry today because of his influence,  May his tribe increase.  Thank you for investing 40 years of your life in the gospel ministry, our area is richer because of it and I know I am.
