Friday, July 5th, 2013


Praise the Lord for another day where it’s warmer here than in Florida.  There is one thing that is always true about the weather, it’s always changing.  It can be either wonderful and miserable depending on when you step outside.  For some people they are only happy when the weather is what they like but if it’s not then they’re not.  They have allowed their mood to be controlled by the changing weather rather than something more unchanging.  Jesus said to build your house upon the rock rather than on the shifting sinking sands of life.  Are you glad to be standing on the Rock of our Salvation?  1 Peter 2:7 “Therefore, to you who believe, He is precious; but to those who are disobedient. The stone which the builders rejected Has become the chief cornerstone.”  For all those that have accepted Jesus He had made room on the Rock for them to stand.  Thanks be to God for the unchanging promises of the Lord are yes and amen to those who believe.  Enjoy the great day for this is the day that the Lord has made.
This Sunday is Family Sunday and I’ll be sharing on, ‘Come Out of the Cemetery.’  The cemetery is the only place where no one is expecting anything to move.  If anything does move someone screams.  If you as a person get stuck on the issues of what could have been, should have been, or what may have been, you’ll never be empowered to move forward.  On Family Sunday we start @10:15 for breakfast, (bring some food) followed by the morning service, communion, and a building fund offering.  On Family Sunday there is no evening service.  
Since the new year we have been praying and asking for support to replace the cargo van that we had to transport all the sound gear that we have to do our outreach services.  This week we received a donation of a truck to the ministry.  This truck is well able to do everything we need to do and more.  We will have the truck in front of the church this Sunday for everyone to see.  We want to thank them who donated the truck and praise God for answering prayer.  The money that was raise will cover the cost of a new cap for the back of the truck, insurance, and inspection.  This Wednesday from 7-9 pm at the hall where we hold Bible Study, Rachel and her mission’s group will be teaching on Worship.  Everyone is welcome to attend.  Next Sunday July 14th at 6pm we will be having our first Sydney boardwalk outreach service.  We need extra volunteers to help us with set up, tear down, setting up chairs, and passing out our magazine, if you can help see Pastor Bruce or Rolly.
Carl MacDonald is in the Sydney hospital dealing with an infection in his foot and leg.  He likes visits so if you are out and about drop in to see him. A lady in our church is recovering from surgery and is feeling much better.  Pray for all those in need as we believe in the power of God to heal.  Looking forward to seeing you on Sunday, lots of love Pastor Kevin and Alice
