COMING SOON… Gospel Meeting with Brad Harrub – June 24-26
VBS at St. Andrews Road – July 10-14
Well, I guess by now just about everyone in the neighborhood has heard that I am moving back to Arkansas to be closer to my family. I plan to be here with you this Sunday, June 12th for the morning and evening service. We have been busy packing and plan to load the truck on Monday, June 13th and leave out on Tuesday, the 14th. If you can help us load anytime on Monday, your help will be greatly appreciated. We really don’t have a lot to load. We will be back in Columbia Friday, July 1, Lord willing and plan on being with you on Sunday, July 3rd for worship and fellowship.

The past five years have been simply wonderful for me at St. Andrews Road. We have had too many victories to count and a few sorrows that have brought us closer to God and to one another. God has blessed us. The congregation is strong and well-equipped for whatever God has in store for you. We have planted, we have watered, and God has given the increase and will continue to do so in the near and distant future. Please stand along side our elders as they continue the task of appointing additional deacons to serve the church and also as they begin the search for a new minister. My thoughts and prayers will ever be with you. Please pray for us.

This Sunday morning and Sunday evening our lessons will be on the subject of FAITH. I will present “8 Practical Definitions of Faith” for your hearing and consideration, four definitions in the morning and the remaining four at the evening service. I have preached sermons on faith many times before, but these two lessons will give us all a new perspective on what it means to walk by faith and not be sight. These are difficult times for too many of us. We need to believe and keep believing in God, that He is and that He is the rewarder of those who diligently seek Him (Hebrews 11:6). Please plan on being here for these two lessons from God’s word.

REMEMBER: Brother Brad Harrub will be with us for a “Christian Evidences Seminar” on Friday, June 24th through Sunday morning, June 26th. Check out the bulletin board in the lobby and our website for additional information on this vital series of lessons on Christian evidences.

Our young men will be conducting the evening worship hour on Sunday, June 19th (Father’s Day). Brother Hutchison and our young men always do a fine job leading the service. We have the finest group of young people in the world. Be here to support them.
I leave you with one of my most favorite passages of Scripture:
1 “My son, do not forget my law, but let your heart keep my commands;
2 For length of days and long life and peace they will add to you.
3 Let not mercy and truth forsake you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart,
4 And so find favor and high esteem in the sight of God and man.
5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding.
6 In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths.
7 Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the Lord and depart from evil.
8 It will be health to your flesh, and strength to your bones.”
Proverbs 3:1-8
