The vision
January 19, 2016
The concert on Sunday evening with Greater Vision was absolutely incredible. The attendance
was great and the presence of God’s spirit was greater. Thank you for praying for them and for
the concert. It was an added blessing to have Geraldine Ragan to worship with us on Sunday
morning and to add laughter to the Sunday evening concert. She is a woman whom God has
gifted as no other. Our Lord was honored and the people were greatly blessed.
We are rapidly approaching special days of revival with Dr. Grady McMurtry. Now is the time
to invite your friends from near and far to come hear Dr. McMurtry.

Pastor
It is time for you to be thinking and praying about the Collingsworth Family concert which will be Wednesday,
March 9 at 7:00 p.m. You may have many friends and people where you work that will have an interest in hearing the
Collingsworth Family.
I am continually amazed and grateful for the ministry you perform through the Sunday School each week. It is an
honor to the Lord Jesus and a tremendous blessing to your pastor.

PLEASE SIGN UP BY THIS THURSDAY, JANUARY 21 so materials can be prepared for Sunday. If you have

church office (229-242-1426).
College & Career Fellowship
Students are back in town and classes are in session. As a “welcome back” event, we will have a very special
fellowship on Friday, January 29. The evening will include food, inspiration, fun, and games. It all begins at
6:30 p.m. at the College & Career building.
Do you know someone in the College & Career age group who does not have a church home? Invite them to Sunday
School and/or the upcoming fellowship. The College & Career department targets single folks who are post-high
school up to around 30 years of age. That includes students and young professionals.
Dr. Grady McMurtry
I’m excited about hearing Dr. McMurtry again. The topics he will cover (listed in Brother Wayne’s article) will be
fascinating and inspiring. In addition to the regular 10:30 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. services on Sunday, January 31, the
Youth, College & Career, and Adults will get the “bonus” of hearing Dr. McMurtry during the Sunday School hour.
Those age groups should go directly to the Worship Center at 8:45 a.m. We will check attendance by giving you a
slip of paper on which you will print your name, your teacher’s name, and any contacts you wish to report. We will
collect those slips of paper and use them to tally up our Sunday School attendance for the day.
Christ-like behavior – what is it and how do you compare to Christ's standard of behavior? Discover answers to those
questions by coming to Sunday School this Sunday at 8:45 a.m. I hope to see you there!

I Stand Redeemed
Written by Kelly Garner, Christina Degazio
and Belinda Smith
When I think of all my faults and all my failures;
When I consider all the times I’ve let God down;
I’m humbled by the grace He has extended;
I’m amazed at the mercy I have found.
I could never earn His love on my own,
Yet every time I come before His throne
David Tew
I stand redeemed by the blood of the Lamb;
I stand redeemed before the great I AM;
When He looks at me, He sees the nail-scarred hands
That bought my liberty; I stand redeemed.
Even at my best, I am unworthy;
I have nothing precious I can give;
A broken life is all I have to offer
And yet, it is a priceless gift to Him;
The bitter mark of sin will never fade away,
But I can come before Him unashamed;
When He looks at me, He sees the nail-scarred hands
That bought my liberty; I stand redeemed.
I stand redeemed!
Take a few moments to consider where you might be without the Lord in your life. Then thank Him for the
redemption He provided and for including you in His family. Also consider His mercy each day, even when we are so
unworthy. Praise God for His willingness to forgive every sin and loving us through all our faults and failures. We
cannot fathom the depths of His love for us. What an enormous love we receive daily from the great I AM!
The youth ministry is looking forward to DiscipleNow weekend on Friday and Saturday, February 26-27. This is an
overnight event beginning at the church Friday evening with the youth spending the night in host homes, then
returning to the church on Saturday. It’s a weekend filled with fun, fellowship and lots of Bible study. This event is
also open to friends of the youth. Please be thinking about who you want to invite. Work on the details of the
weekend is underway.
