Upcoming and Ongoing:
- Serving the Savior in singleness and senior times is a special blessing. All senior singles are invited to come together to rejoice in this blessing and to “spur one another on to love and good deeds” at a luncheon after the morning service on July 12th, hosted by the deaconesses.
- Our missionaries in Europe are in the United States for a period of time, and they’ll be our guests for a fun ice cream social on Thursday, July 16th. This event will begin at 6:30 and is sure to be a blessing for all ages as we visit with them, hear about their plans, and encourage them with our love and prayers.
- More volunteers are needed for on our own in-house mission field—Children’s Church! These little ones need to hear about God’s love and salvation. Won’t you tell them by being part of our rotation of volunteers? See the church office for details.
From the Pastor’s Recent Reading:
I beseech you do not be too confident. “By their fruits ye shall know them. ” If there are any of you living in sin, I do not care what doctrines you have received, or what experience you may boast, I am afraid for you if you are not afraid for yourselves. I entreat you do not lull your souls into peace while your lives are ungodly, for it will be, “Peace, peace, where there is no peace. ” You cannot be perfect, I grant, and salvation is not by works, but by grace, but at the same time, “Be not deceived, God is not mocked, whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. ” Do I cut any of you sharply? I mean to cut: I only wish I could cut deeper, but my fear is, that those who are the best will feel it the most. I know they will, and those who need it most will say, “I am glad the preacher is faithful, but his censures do not apply to me. ” —from SPOTS IN OUR FEASTS OF CHARITY by C. H. SPURGEON
