Thank you for making last Sunday such a
day of victory. To God be the glory! To see the
body of Christ working together is such a
blessing.
Please be in prayer for our Spring Revival,
March 1-4. Ps. 85:6 (ESV). Will you not revive us again, that your people may rejoice in
you? I clipped this article long ago:
REVIVAL IS. . . .
1. Every member seeking God's face and desiring personal revival confessing every sin and
forsaking every sin, and yielding oneself to God
in commitment, in living for Jesus, and in service.
2. Sunday School officers and teachers witnessing to unsaved members in their departments
and classes through visitation and teaching to
have them ready for revival.
3. Elementary Sunday School workers witnessing to and praying for unchurched parents.
4. Parents of children and youth who have not
professed their faith in Christ as Savior making
sure that The Way is made plain at home by
word and example.
5. Church members making a list of specific
persons who are unsaved and whom they will
try to win to Christ.
6. Church families setting aside a definite time
each day to pray for lost friends and for God to
bring Revival.
7. Church members telling unchurched friends
about our revival meeting and making plans to
bring them to the services.
8.
Church members participating in the
organized visitation efforts of the church
I look forward to Sunday and studying in
1 John. Sunday nights in Febr uar y will be
some special times thinking about our families.
Blessings,
Bro. Paul

Thank you so much to everyone that

As always, join us this Sunday in
Children’s Church at 10:00 am for what
we hope to be the best hour of your
week! J
Love in Christ,
Mrs. Candace
