Out of love for one another…….
We allow mask use to be optional during the Sunday morning Bible Study and worship assembly and Wednesday evening Bible study. We recommend that those who are unvaccinated or have personal health concerns to wear a mask. We thank you for your consideration of and care for others. Masks are available if you need one.
“A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another. By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.” (John 13:34-35 ESV)

Scripture of the Week
“Where can I go from Your Spirit? Where can I flee from Your presence? If I go up to the heavens, You are there. If I make my bed in the depth, You are there. If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea, even there Your hand will guide me, Your right hand will hold me fast.” ~~ Psalm 139:7-10
Something to Smile About
On the Lighter Side . . .
An older, tired-looking dog, wandered into my yard one day. I could tell from his collar and well-fed belly that he had a home and was well taken care of.
He calmly came over to me and I gave him a few pats on his head. Then he followed me into my house, slowly walked down the hall, curled up in the corner and fell asleep.
An hour later, he went to the door and I let him out.
The next day he was back… greeted me in my yard, walked inside, and resumed his spot in the hall, and again slept for about an hour. This continued off and on for several weeks.
Curious, I decided to pin a note to his collar which read: “I would like to find out who the owner of this wonderful, sweet dog is and ask if you are aware that almost every afternoon your dog comes to my house for a nap.”
The next day he arrived for his nap, with a different note pinned to his collar: “He lives in a home with 6 children, 2 under the age of 3, and he’s trying to catch up on his sleep. Can I come with him tomorrow?”
Think About It
THINK ABOUT THIS
— It is said that Napoleon only read his mail once a month. He took up this habit after he discovered that most of the problems contained in the letters were solved by the time, he got around to reading about them.
— There was a chap once upon a time, who was so dull and boring, that he couldn’t even entertain a doubt.
— It was his first show, and the proud artist was horrified to hear a businessman refer to his masterpiece as a “pretty good picture of a boat.” “In the first place,” the artist said haughtily, “that is not a picture, it’s a painting. Secondly, it’s not a boat, it’s a ship. And finally, it’s not pretty good, it’s great!”
“I’ll give you $500 for it,” the businessman offered. “Mister,” the artist responded, “you just bought yourself a pretty good picture of a boat!”
-— We see with our eyes, we hear with our ears, we judge with our emotions.
— The trouble with some folks is that instead of putting on their thinking cap, they put a cap on their thinking.
— “Naught but God can satisfy the soul.”
We are striving to be a loving, spiritual family that has joined hands in the service of God seeking daily to grow into the image of His son, Jesus.
