Unison Reading: Psalm 23 (NKJV)
1
The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. 2 He makes me to lie down in green
pastures; He leads me beside the still waters. 3 He restores my soul; He leads me in
the paths of righteousness for His name’s sake. 4 Yea, though I walk through the
valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; for You are with me; Your rod
and Your staff, they comfort me. 5 You prepare a table before me in the presence
of my enemies; You anoint my head with oil; My cup runs over. 6 Surely goodness
and mercy shall follow me All the days of my life; And I will dwell in the house of
the LORD. Forever.

Let’s Go Bowling After Church Next Sunday! Wouldn’t it be fun for a group of
all ages to hop on a bus right after church, eat out at KFC/Taco Bell and go
bowling at the Funtime Roll-R-Bowl (Carthage) for only $8 a person? If you don’t
like to bowl, you can just go along for the fun of it – free! 

rather than the second Tuesday of the month.)
