ESTHER COMPANY MEETING Saturday, August 23 10:00 AM "The Husband the Head, The Wife the Neck" Continental Breakfast included Cost: $10 per person See back of newsletter for more details. ENHANCE COUPLES MINISTRY Sunday, August 24 6:00PM Best Sellers “You are our epistle written in our hearts, known and read by all men; clearly you are an epistle of Christ, ministered by us, written not with ink but by the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of flesh, that is, of the heart.” (2 Cor. 3:2-3) If Christians are the only Bible that sinners get to read, are you considered a “Best Seller”? Can they read your life and know that there’s a distinction between light and darkness? Would they have a true reality of “Thy Kingdom Come”? These are all thought provoking questions that will require one to reflect and ponder. Every waking moment of our lives, we are all writing our stories for others to read. Our daily goal is to be that of a best seller. In writing, I think we would all say that there are pages we would like to have ripped out or even burned. Remember that every day is a new day. Each day you get a blank page and the Holy Spirit as your eraser. Repentance and humility will be your key to erased pages. “For as the heavens are high above the earth, So great is His mercy toward those who fear Him; As far as the east is from the west, So far has He removed our transgressions from us.” (Psalm 103:12-13) -Pastor Olden Thornton THE TORCH ILLUMINATING.

So Esther Company, let's dig deeper!!! On Saturday, August 23 at 10:00am, our women’s fellowship will be joined via skype with Guest Speakers Mrs. Katheryn Boone & Pastor Eileen Hunt. Not married? Don't let that stop you from attending. You can glean some nuggets for your married family, friends, co-workers, and yourself. This will be an awesome event to attend where insights, experience and those “ah ha” moments will be shared to help you pray for them and yourself as well. A question and answer segment will be included, so please type up (or handwrite) your questions and drop them in the designated box in the foyer. We can't wait to see you there!
