Pray for Ecuador Missionaries, Spread Gospel locally, Church Family Meeting (Pastoral Emphasis for 7/19)

We are reading through the Bible as a church family this year. We're following the 52 week reading plan. We are on week 29. Please pray for all of the missionaries (including our own Minister Matt Darby, Bro. Jae Smith, and Sis. Britnay Hardy) traveling to Ecuador for a week of ministry.

Keep Reading the Bible, 1 Corinthians Bible Study Series, Guess Who Winners (Pastoral Emphasis for 7/5)

We are reading through the Bible as a church family this year. We're following the 52 week reading plan. We are on week 27.  Reading the Bible pays off after time.  It takes discipline so don't give up when it gets hard, keep reading, studying, meditating, and praying.  In time, you'll start to see connections and the larger meta-narrative of God's redemptive story. Last Wednesday, we started a new Bible Study series in 1 Corinthians. We don't want to go to the world instead of God's Word for answers. So everyone is invited to join us on Wednesday at 7pm for a study of God's Wisdom applied to worldly problems as we continue to study Paul's first letter to the church of Corinth and its application for the local church today. We had a lot of fun with our June "Guess Who" activity. #1 - Sis. Barbara Smith #2 - Deacon Larry Fortenberry #3 - Bro. Louis Eldridge #4 - Sis. Anita Daniels #5 - Elder Wayne Bullock #6 - Sis.
