First Church News
The Lord in His goodness last night took Winnie Tensen
to Himself. Our deepest sympathies extended to the
entire Tensen Family
Faith Essentials: The last few weeks the sermons have
focused on ”spiritual disciplines” like: the great
commandment caring for souls, principles of worship,
prayer on next Sunday and today “pondering and
meditating on the Word through the Holy Spirit. Continue
to dwell on God’s Word. It is so enriching.
Comfort, Comfort My People: Let us continually
encourage one another to pray and to express Christ’s
love, particularly to the Bomhof family, the Tensen family
and to all who need God’s precious nearness in pain,
sorrow, persecution, migration and darkness. How
precious is the Lord in all His ways. J.S.H.
