The Ten Commandments of God
therefore, and
teach all
nations,
baptizing them
in the name of
the father,
and of the
son, and of
the holy spirit: Teaching
them to observe all
things
whatsoever I
have
commanded
you: and Lo, I
am with you

unto the end
of the world.
amen.”
Exodus 20:3-17
Matthew
28:19-20
Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
Thou shalt not make unto the any graven image, or
any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or
that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water
under the earth.
Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve
them: for I the lord thy god is a jealous god, visiting
the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto
the third and fourth generation of them that hate
me; and showing mercy unto thousands of them
that love me, and keep my commandments.
Thou shalt not take the name of the lord thy god
in vain: for the lord will not hold them guiltless
that taketh his name in vain.
Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days
shalt thou labor, and do all thy work. But the seventh day is the Sabbath to the lord thy god; in it
thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor
thy daughter, thy manservant, not thy maidservant, not thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: for in six days the lord made heaven
and earth, the sea, and all that is in them is, and
rested the seventh day: wherefore the lord blessed
the Sabbath day, and hallowed it.
Honor thy father and thy mother: that thy days
may be long upon the land which the Lord thy god
giveth thee.

These requests for prayers have been made recently

Kevin Mathes: He has a growth in his neck. Update: He will have surgery September 9th.
“Please pray for all of God’s people. As you
probably already know, as the feasts of God get
nearer, Satan will do everything possible to keep
you and the rest of God’s people from attending.
It is so important, in our walk with God, that we
take part in these wonderful feasts that show us a
picture of our future and that we receive the refreshing that all of God’s feasts give us. No
matter what Satan tries to throw at you and no
matter what hurdle he may set before you, resist
him and know that the God we serve is greater
than the devil and nothing is impossible with God,
Almighty or His Son, our Lord and Savior.”
Linda Salmon: She has cancer and has chosen not

***IMPORTANT NOTICE***
If you have been unable to access our
website, we must apologize for this. The
company that hosts our website was recently hacked and completely deleted
several of the websites in the system, including ours.
If the hackers had only deleted the
files on his system, he could have restored it easily. But, they got passed his
security and removed everything, so we
have to start from the beginning and re-
build the entire system. This requires
uploading a lot of information, so it will
take time.
We will do our best to get the website up and going again as soon as we
possible can.
Please check back occasionally and
be patient with us as we work to restore the site.
Pray that all of it will go smoothly
for us as we do this. Thank you.

The following poem was written by Norman Curran about his good friend and sister in Christ, May Orr.
Both lost their spouses a few years back and have been a great support to one another.
I drove to the dentist 84 mile.
The purpose was to enhance my smile.
May said, “Drive safely.” I said, “Never fear.”
That was just before we hit the deer.
I’m thankful it was not a high jumper.
It only damaged one headlight and bumper.
I wrecked May’s car, what a shame.
But May said that I was not to blame.
After over 2 years with her, I’ll have to say.
I’m really blessed to have a friend like May.
