Lawson Young Adult Class:

The Fall Quarters lessons (Sept, Oct Nov 2011) were on Tradition and Wisdom coming from Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, Song of Solomon and Matthew. The Winter Quarters lessons (Dec 2011, Jan, Feb 2012) was God Establishing a Faithful People coming from Genesis, Exodus, Luke and Galatians. The Spring Quarters lessons (Mar, Apr, May) was based on God’s Creative Word coming from John and the Summer Quarters lessons (Jun, Jul, Aug) was God Calls for Justice coming from Pentateuch, History, Psalms and the Prophets.

We had a powerful year and look forward to the beginning of our next lesson cycle beginning the month of September 2012. The entire year will be based on FAITH. The year for Unit One we will be discussing What Faith Is. The second unit will be Who Understands Faith? And our third unit will be Where Does Faith Take Us. This year brought us some challenges however I believe that the challenges have strengthened us. We truly believe in God’s word “We Walk By Faith And Not By Sight” 2 Corinthians 5:7. KJV. It is that faith that we will study and grow within us.

We welcome you to come out on Sunday mornings to our Life Seminar which begins at 9:30 AM. We have a class for every age. Our youth and teen classes have been as they like to say “jogging through the Bible”. We have started with Genesis and will discuss every book of the Bible and how they can apply the word of God to their individual lives. We also have a new comers class that is taught by our Minister of Christian Education. We welcome all questions and our teachers live by what they teach.

We are planning on activities this year and a picnic which we are looking forward to. We would love to have you join us.

Minister Charlene Palmer

God Bless You and Keep You.

DIVAS Ministry

21 DAY Challenge!!

Think before you speak Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. Philippians 4:8 From the beginning of the Old Testament to the ending of the New Testament, words were spoken by God, Jesus, the disciples and things happened. God spoke and creation existed! The Bible shows us by example that words play a very large part in our life. Thinking and speaking positively is something that will bring about healing, prosperity, joy and love.

Words can bless a person or they can curse a person. Words that ridicule, torment, harass and tear down a person will never bring life. The Lord says our thoughts are not His, but they can be His if we will change our way of thinking and speaking. For 21 Days let us meditate on Christ words and Think before we speak or Act!!! Philippians 4:8 give us and excellent blueprint o remind us as Christians; “Think before we speak!!!”

Proverbs 16:24 states that: Pleasant words are honeycomb, sweetness to the soul and healing to the bones.

Changing our speaking will change our life, allowing us to become stronger vessels for Christ.

God’s Word to assist us during this 21 DAY challenge: You say: 'It's impossible' You say: 'I'm too tired' You say: 'Nobody really loves me' You say: 'I can't go on' You say: 'I can't figure things out' You say: 'I can't do it' You say: 'I'm not able' You say: 'I can't manage'

God says: All things are possible (Luke 18:27) God says: I will give you rest (Matthew 11:28-30) God says: I love you (John 3:16 & John 3:34 ) God says: My grace is sufficient (2 Cor 12:9 God says: I will direct your steps (Proverbs 3:5-6) God says: You can do all things ( Philippians 4:13) God says: I am able (2 Cor 9:8) God says: I will supply all your needs (Philippians 4:19)

AMEN Ministry God has anointed you so that you may be equipped for every good work: to resist evil, to know the truth, to preach the Word, to be able to pray, to have fellowship with God. Have you ever considered yourself to be an anointed Christian?

Maybe you've thought that only certain people in ministry are anointed?

Maybe you've only considered that the O.T. prophets and the N.T. apostles were the only ones anointed and that you are not.

No matter what you have or haven't thought about the anointing of God, if you are a Christian, then you have received an anointing.

According to Webster's Dictionary, to anoint means to "rub oil or ointment on," "to put oil on in a ceremony of consecration." So, to anoint something or someone is to apply something, in this case oil, to an object.

Prophets were anointed 1 Kings 19:16 says, "Also, anoint Jehu son of Nimshi king over Israel, and anoint Elisha son of Shaphat from Abel Meholah to succeed you as prophet" (NIV) Priests were anointed Exodus 40:13, says "Then dress Aaron in the sacred garments, anoint him and consecrate him so he may serve me as priest" (NIV).

Kings were anointed 1 Samuel 16:3,13 says, "Invite Jesse to the sacrifice, and I will show you what to do. You are to anoint for me the one I indicate...13So Samuel took the horn of oil and anointed him in the presence of his brothers, and from that day on the Spirit of the LORD came upon David in power. Samuel then went to Ramah," (NIV).

1. Man of God you are anointed for service! You are anointed vessels of God. You have been cleansed by God and been filled with the Holy Spirit.

2. Not only is He in you but He is upon you.

3. As the Holy Spirit came upon the disciples at Pentecost in the upper room and anointed them for service, you too have been anointed by God with the Holy Spirit for Christian service.

I have taught you this so that you would learn about your anointing.

PPWC YOUTH SCENCE MODERN IDOLS Introductory question: What are idols? What do you understand about them?

In the Old Testament, God was very annoyed because people did not worship him, but idols instead. They seemed to devote themselves to visible idols more than an invisible God. We now no longer live in the Old Testament times and no one today would worship some idealistic images (there are bound to be a few exceptions). Despite this, the situation is not much different today. Even today, we still run after some kind of idols: money, power, football or pop stars.

What else can you think of? What are the modern idols of today? If you are serious about your relationship with God, then he takes the first position in your life. Is Jesus important to you?

In the book according to Matthew in chapter 6, verses 19-21, there is a very suitable sentence: "Where you find your treasure, there is your heart!" You can ask yourself what your heart belongs to. Which things do you run after in life, which things are important in your life and do you spend your time?
