And Joshua wrote these words in the book of the law of God, and took a great stone, and set it up
there under an oak, that was by the sanctuary of the LORD.

Stained Glass Window / Scales |
|
The stained glass window, seen on the left, had been stored in the attic of the church since @ 1960 when it was removed to make way for the balcony. It was located above the inside entrance doors when the building was erected. The congregation plans to place the window where the clock is now and put lights around so it might once again add to the beauty of the sanctuary.
As of June 2nd, $636.00 has been received. The goal was $500.00.
The goal has been met. The frame for the window is completed and awaiting installation.

Question? |
|
Why should I go to church?
I get nothing out of it.Answer:
1. We go to church to worship God.
2. Others are supported by your presence.
3. You might get something out of it.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Remember: Holding a grudge permits that person to occupy
your mind rent free. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ As Hurricane Irene battered the East Coast, federal
disaster officials warned that Internet outages could
force people to interact with other people for the
first time in years. Residents braced themselves for
the horror of awkward silences and unwanted eye contact.
FEMA had advised: “Be prepared. Write down possible
topics to talk about in advance. Sports...the weather.
Remember, a conversation is basically a series of
Facebook updates strung together. Posted on facebook by Lois Smith August 2011. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
A man was standing near a large tree
when the tree was struck by lightning.
The bolt just missed the man.
A passer by commented to the man,
"Either God blessed you or he just
missed you." Robin James March 2011 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Yesterday is a memory
Tomorrow is a mystery
Today is a gift
That's why its called the present. ************************************
Preach the gospel.
Use words if necessary. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Honk, if you love Jesus.
Text, if you want to meet him now!!! ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Harry came home from Sunday school and asked his mother,
“Do people really come from dust?” “In a way said,” said
his mother. “And do they go back to dust?” “Yes, in a way.”
She replied. “Well, mother, I looked under my bed, and
somebody’s either coming or going.” ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ | |
