Elim Baptist Church
10:30 am — The public reading and learning from God’s Word, the prayers of the saints, and the affirmation of our faith in song are all components of our corporate worship. Please prepare your heart and mind for these vital aspects of true worship, where our God and Savior is worshipped in spirit and in truth. Currently, we are studying the wonderful epistle of Jude, where we are encouraged to contend for the faith, once for all delivered to the saints.
New Elim Baptist Church directories are available on the back table in the sanctuary. Pick yours up today!
During the Week:
- Monday: The Elim Softball Team is scheduled to begin the playoffs this week with a first game at 7:40 pm on Diamond #7 at Sportscore. If they win, there will be another game at 8:40 on the same diamond. Check the softball schedule online at www. racsoftball.com.
- NOTE: Our 10:30 Tuesdays Bible study and our Thursday Night Toolkit Old Testament survey Bible study are on a summer hiatus until September.
- Wednesday: There will be an organizational meeting for returning and new Awana volunteers at 6:30 pm. Please see the church office for more details.
- Saturday: The next men’s fellowship meets at 9:00 am. This study for men of all ages begins with a discussion of “Practical Religion” by J.C. Ryle. In asking for self-examination of our Christian practices, Ryles states: We live in an age of special spiritual danger. When we look around us, we may well ask, “How do we do about our souls?”
Upcoming and Ongoing:
- More volunteers are needed for 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.
- Our next CEF Party Club meets on Wednesday, August 19th! Don’t miss out on the fun for kids of all ages at 6:30 pm. There’ll be food, games, fun and more!
- If you are interested in bowling on Elim’s church league this fall, please contact the church office.
From the Pastor’s Recent Reading:
“…it becomes the saints to build up one another upon this; the doctrine of faith, is a foundation to build upon, particularly what regards the person, offices, and grace of Christ, and is itself of an edifying nature; and they should not content themselves with their present knowledge of it, but seek for an improvement in it; and though they were passive when first built on Christ and His doctrines…yet they are capable of building up themselves, and one another, by attending on the ministry of the word, and by private conversation, with each other, and particularly by praying in the Holy Ghost; which is a special means of increase and establishment in the doctrine of faith; the Holy Ghost is the author and enditer of prayer, and an assister in it; without Him saints cannot call God their Father, nor pray with faith and fervency, or with freedom and liberty.”
—John Gill’s Commentary on Jude
