THOUGHTS FROM BRAD
We enjoyed a wonderful day at Fifth Avenue as wecelebrated our Fathers! I was so glad to see BobHawkes baptized into Christ, an old man died and anew man was made alive because of Jesus. It takesa lot of courage to recognize ones need for Jesus. Iam proud of you Bob. Please pray for Bob and his
family as they grow together in the Lord.
I want to take a moment to encourage others, whoattend most every week, who still have a need to bebaptized. Please dont allow your pride to keep youfrom accepting Jesus as Lord, no matter what yourage. I would love to study with you if you havequestions concerning your salvation.
June 22- Today we will have a meeting for our
Grundy Mountain Mission trip. We will meet brieflyafter morning worship service in the sanctuary dueto other rooms being decorated for VBS. Just meetdown front after the closing song and I will give youan information folder concerning our trip.
Now that my Wednesday night elective has come toa close, I will not begin a new elective untilsometime in August. Please keep your eyes on thenewsletter for upcoming information.
I have enclosed today an insert about our PrayerWall commitments in the Unleashed for theUnreached project. Allow me to simply encourageyou every day to pray for those you havecommitted to. Never stop believing that God is morethan capable to work in your prayer life.
David Platt writes: A community of Christians isdefined by each multiplying the Gospel by going,baptizing, and teaching in the contexts where theylive every day. Is anything else, according to theBible, even considered a church?
By that definition, are we being the church? Its justsomething to pray about. Think about what thechurch would be like if Each one would reach onefor Christ.
In His Service,
Brad
