What
a wonderful week we are enjoying in the country, warm sunshine in February,
buttercups blooming in the yard, calves in every pasture, one at a time and
sometimes two, and the temptation to start our spring garden work and lawn
work. But wait. It could be that winter may have one last
romp before spring rushes in. God is
good. We are thankful.
Our lesson series “Seven Steps from
Darkness into the Light” or “Seven Steps Out of a Rut” has come to an end. I hope you have been challenged and
encouraged by these lessons from God’s word.
I am very excited about what we will be studying next. If you would like to read ahead, read the
Biblical account of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden just after they ate from
the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil – Genesis 3. We will consider the four questions God asked
Adam and Eve:
Lesson/Question 1 Where are you?
Lesson/Question 2 Who told you that?
Lesson/Question 3 Have you sinned?
Lesson/Question 4 What have you done?
This Sunday, February 26th
Cindi and I will host our monthly Birthday and Anniversary Get-Together at our
house immediately following our Sunday evening service. If you or a member of your immediate family
has a birthday or an anniversary in February, please come and enjoy the good
fun and fellowship with your fellow Christian brothers and sisters. If you would like to bring your favorite
finger-food, please do. We will provide
the cake, drinks, and utensils. We
certainly enjoy having you in our home.
Mark your calendar for our quarterly
Church Luncheon on Sunday, March 4th. We will meet for Bible study at 10:00,
worship at 11:00 then following our worship hour we will walk over to the fellowship
hall for a lunch together. I know that
Cindi will be probably cooking her fabulous chicken casserole, some “angelic”
eggs, potato salad…Mmmmm! After our
luncheon together we will meet back in the auditorium for our afternoon service
and dismiss for the day. Please prepare
enough food for your family and our guests as I know you always do. Our ladies are definitely the best cooks in
Faulkner County.
Some of our fellow Christian brothers and sisters
are having some difficult times presently.
Let us remember these in our daily prayers to God. Let us also commit ourselves to having a
greater appreciation for God’s provision for our needs every day. By this shall all know that we are his
disciples, if we have love for one another as Jesus loved us (John 13:34-35).
