Back to school! Our teachers have been busy for several days now getting their classrooms in order. Some students have already begun the new school year. The rest will soon follow. You can certainly tell by the increased traffic that our college students have arrived for the fall semester. We must be extra cautious on the highways. School buses stopping and going…Children crossing the streets to and from school…Parents dropping off and picking their children…Young drivers not always focused on their driving…I could go on and on. Please be a little bit more patient with yourself and with others as we all adjust to a new routine.
We will host the Area-wide Men’s and Preacher’s Meeting this Tuesday, August 18th. Brother Bill Young will be presenting a program on “Burn-out.” Come a little bit early for a Krispy Kreme doughnut and coffee. Our program will begin at 10:00 and conclude a few minutes before noon. We will have a Dutch-treat lunch together after the meeting.
This Sunday morning we will continue in our series “The Greatest Thing in the World – The Christian Life” with a lesson entitled “Eternity – How Long.” We have looked at Sin – How terrible, Grace – How Marvelous, Salvation – How Wonderful, and Life – How Short. We only have two more lessons and this series will be completed. I hope you are being encouraged and challenged to become a Christian, then to be a Christian, and to live the Christian life.
On Sunday evening we will begin a new series of lessons on the early church of Christ. The success of the church of Christ in the first century was dynamic. In this series we will look at the reasons for the advancement of the Lord’s cause in the first century and be confident that we too, can enjoy great success in our day. We will focus our attention on the following lessons:
They were not – Romans 1:15-16…We must not be too.
They were – Acts 2:42… We can be too.
They were – II Peter 1:4-11… We can be too.
They truly – John 13:34-35… We can too.
They were not – II Corinthians 4:1, 8-10… We must follow their example.
They had – Matthew 28:19-20… We must too.
They were – Romans 12:1-2… We must be too.
I look forward to sharing these lessons from the Bible with you. May God help us to apply His instructions directly to our every day Christian lives!
Our Ladies’ Day 2009 at St. Andrews Road is just around the corner scheduled for Saturday, October 17th (Only eight weeks away!). Our ladies are busy getting everything in order for this very special day.

The Sunday morning adult Life Enrichment Bible Class just completed a study on the “Me-Attitudes.”. For the remaining Sunday mornings in August we will study the book of Jude. Think about it. Have you ever studied Jude? If you are not currently involved in one of our Bible study programs please consider this your special invitation to join the Life Enrichment Class. Come and grow with us in the knowledge of God’s word. This class meets at 10:00 a.m. every Sunday morning down the hall in Room 204.
