COMING SOON… Gospel Meeting with Brad Harrub – June 24-26

We had a wonderful Ladies’ Day last Saturday. Every detail was perfectly planned, elegantly organized, and simply set in motion to the delight of every one who attended. Thank you: ladies for all you do to show and share the love of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Thank you: men for giving up a Saturday to help our ladies with lunch. May God bless our efforts with a fruitful harvest!

May is “Graduation Month” for our students. Congratulations to every graduate! We will host a “Senior Banquet” on Saturday, May 21st at 6:00 p.m. in the Fellowship Hall to honor our St. Andrews Road graduates. This banquet is for our seniors, their families, and anyone else who would like to attend. A sign-up sheet has been placed on the bulletin board in the lobby. The cost for the banquet is $10 per person. Please check the bulletin board for further information or see Allen or Belinda Hutchison.

Our monthly Men’s and Preachers’ Meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, May 17th at 10:00 a.m. in the fellowship hall. Brother Bill Young will present a program on the relationship of faithful deacons to the congregation they serve. We will take a summer break in June and July and resume meeting in August, Lord willing. This meeting is for preachers, elders, deacons, and any Christian brother who would like to attend.

Our Sunday morning series will continue this Sunday with a lesson entitled: “Growing in Gladness through the Lord’s Supper.” Our lesson text can be found in I Corinthians 11:23-34. We will consider how the Lord’s Supper is a remembrance of the past, a proclamation of the future, an examination of the present, and a communion together with Christ. I hope you will accept the challenge to grow in gladness by meeting together with your fellow Christian brothers and sisters for worship, study, and fellowship. We often sing hymn #229 by Brother Tillit S. Teddlie entitled “The Lord’s Supper.” Please, if you could and would, let this song be on your mind as you prepare to commune with Christ and His church this coming Lord’s Day.

When we meet in sweet communion where the feast divine is spread;
Hearts are brought in closer union while partaking of the bread.
Precious feast all else surpassing, wondrous love for you and me,,
While we feast Christ gently whispers: “Do this in My memory.”

“God so loved” what wondrous measure! Loved and gave the best of heav’n;
Bought us with that matchless treasure, yea, for us His life was giv’n
Precious feast all else surpassing, wondrous love for you and me,,
While we feast Christ gently whispers: “Do this in My memory.”

Feast divine, all else surpassing, precious blood for you and me,
While we sup, Christ gently whispers: “Do this in My memory.”
Precious feast all else surpassing, wondrous love for you and me,,
While we feast Christ gently whispers: “Do this in My memory.”
