| It is a delight to meet one another at a designated time and place. Today we have an appointment with God and His people. Let us humbly wait for his wisdom and willingly submit to his directions for each of us. Will you really communicate with the Lord and with others today? Will this be a day of rest and Christian service or just an hour in church? |
| "Behold,
how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!”
--Psalm 133:1 |
| The
candle in front of the pulpit in our church serves as a silent reminder
to each of us to be about our Father’s business of proclaiming
Christ to our world. The candle will be lit each time a soul is won
for Christ. |
