Verse of the Week: Psalm 70:4
And when I think of God, His son not sparing, Sent Him to die, I scarce can take it in; That on the cross, my burden gladly bearing He bled and died to take away my sin Then sings my soul My Savior, God, to Thee How great thou art! How great thou art! Then sings my soul My Savior, God, to Thee How great Thou art! How great Thou art! When Christ shall come With shout of acclamation And take me home What joy shall fill my heart Then I shall bow With humble adoration And then proclaim My God How great Thou art Then sings my soul My Savior, God, to Thee How great thou art! How great thou art! Then sings my soul My Savior, God, to Thee How great Thou art! How great Thou art!
Sunday Morning Bible Study "The Joy of Being a Church Member" There is great joy to be found in being a Church Member. But what is a Church Member? Is being a Church Member like being a member of one of the many clubs I already belong to or is it different? Are there membership dues? What am I obligated to do as a Church Member? Let's get together and share, read, and learn some of the answers to the many questions we have. The Bible Study will take place in the Fellowship Hall following a little fellowship time.
This week’s lesson: “The Golden Calf” God commands that we put Him first, but like the people we will meet in this week’s Sunday School Lesson, we fail to keep Him first in our lives time and time again. The Israelites chose to worship the golden calf rather than the God who brought them safely out of Egypt.

We remember the fallen, O Lord – those who laid down their lives in a just war that we might live in freedom. Indeed, we honor all military veterans, the men and women who have served our country. Give us grace and wisdom to, O God, to care for the wounded, to support the families of those who have died, and to work diligently for the return of those who are still missing in action. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
