HIGH ATTENDANCE SUNDAY
Selecting High Attendance Sunday (for Sunday School) on the day
we fall back an hour is pretty crafty. If people forgot to set their clocks back they would arrive at church not at
the 10:30am time they intended, but at 9:30am when Sunday School starts, thus maximizing attendance at Sunday School!
It worked for me and my family, but we planned it that way. We intentionally did not set the clocks back so that we
could do our normal Sunday routine and still support the goal of High Attendance Sunday. The clocks are set back an
hour now and I am feeling like it is way past my bed time.

GOD's EXISTENCE
It is written in Romans 1:20 "For the invisible
things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, [even] his eternal
power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: " I know that no matter how long I looked and
waited on a tree or any other piece of wood, it would never evolve into a table, house or some other structure until a designer
came along and crafted it into a table. It would remain a tree until it got too old or destroyed in one fashion or another.
All creatures will be without excuse when then stand before God because of all the things He has made. His design finger
print in on everything he has made and it all works perfectly together. The beauty and harmony of creation and life
itself is proof positive of God. Only the fool says in his heart there is no God. Because to acknowledge God forces
the shameless sinner to see his sin and be ashamed, which unfortunately is something the world does not want to do.
Blessed are those who have the courage to face their sin and accept God's love and forgiveness through his son Jesus Christ!

PASTOR APPRECIATION MONTH
Pastor Randy was honored this month by the church with a Angel figurine
with a prayer inscription and a computer notebook! There is nothing that we can say or give that could possibly
match the hard and often tiring work that pastors endure to carry out the responsibilities that the Lord has given them.
The only one that can reward them appropriately is the Lord himself. So Pastor Randy, enjoy the gifts. As inadequate
as they are to truly show our appreciation and love for you, remember that when the Lord comes he will have a greater reward
for you.

PASTOR's DAY
The pastor was honored today with an Angel inscribed with a prayer.
It was a small token to show that the congregation is thinking of and acknowledging our appreciation of the work that he is
doing for the Lord. Being a shepherd for God's people is no easy calling. Pastors all over will have to give an
account to the Lord for their direction and counseling of Lord's people. Our memory verse for this week weighs heavily
on all pastors and to us all to be shinning examples until the appearing of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ!

THE LORD'S TABLE
Today's service reminded us how perfect and unfallable God's word is in
the Bible! Everything written in it's pages from the old testament to the new is tied beautifully to Jesus. He
forefilled so many prophesies in the old testament, that he left no doubt to anyone who is willing to listen, that he is truly
the son of the most high God and our Lord and Saviour! Amen! Come quickly Lord Jesus!

1 Samuel 16:7 The Lord does not see as man sees, for man looks
at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.
COAT DRIVE - We want to bless people
this winter by providing them with a coat, hat, scarf or gloves. If you have any of these items in storage, in closets or
simply laying around in the way and you KNOW you will most likely never wear these items again, please bring them in to the
church so that they can be bundled up and given to someone who could really use them now. God bless you as you give.
FAMILY BIBLE STUDY - We want to invite you to come to our Family Bible study. You will get sound Biblical
teaching and great fellowship. It begins at 10am and we have a class just for you.
SPECIAL MUSIC - We are in need of singers and musicians for our special music for Sunday morning. If
you would like to help, please let Shirley King know or call (269) 303-0330.
JUST ASK SOMEONE - This week will you ask someone to come to church? It is easy to do. Just try and
see what happens.
REMINDER: We have a Prayer dish and Praise dish in
the foyer. All are welcome to put your requests in and we will pray over these and add them to the next bulletin for prayer.
You can also go to the prayer section of this website to submit prayer requests online.
