Derby Weekend is upon us - Be careful out there - And be good!

May 2 – Hello!  Derby Weekend is this weekend and you know what that means:  Yes: 21 of the most beautiful and powerful horses from all around the world coming to Louisville, Kentucky for the run for the roses, but also higher prices for food, clothing, fancy derby hats, and especially gasoline.  And there will be hundreds of thousands of people from all around the world visiting with us to watch “the fastest two minutes in sports.”  Be careful out there.  I love the horses and love to see them run, but when you add in people and the things we come up with to attach to horses and running, well, that’s a horse of a different color.

On Sunday (May 6) at the Watterson Trail Church of Christ we’ll continue in our series on “Experiencing God’s Power through and in Prayer” on the topic of THE DYNAMIC OF PRAYER.  God demands that we pray.  He expects His children to pray.  Ask. Seek. Knock.  Pray without ceasing.  Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.  God describes prayer and teaches us to pray with supplications, communion, intercessions, and thanksgivings.  The direction of our prayer should be to God, in the name of Jesus Christ, for everyone and everything.  When we come to God in prayer we must have clean hands (God will make us clean).  We must have a peaceful heart (God will give us the peace that passes all understanding).  We must live a faithful life (Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God).

Every first Sunday in the month at 1:30 p.m. we meet for a very special time of singing, Bible reading, and prayer.  Come be a blessing and be blessed.

Mother’s Day is next Sunday (May 13^th).  Better get a move on and take care of your mom.  Hope to see you on Sunday for Bible study at 9:30 a.m., for worship at 10:30, and then for our afternoon service at 1:30.  God bless us all.
