For Your Reflection:

Have I received the gospel with power and conviction from the Holy Spirit of God?

Do my words and actions give evidence daily of my faith, love, and hope in Christ Jesus.

Am I imitating Christ? Am I modeling Christ to

those who watch me in this church, in this community?

How can I/we imitate Christ and become a model of Him to those who will never sit in these pews?Prayer Request

“God make the door of this house we have raised to Thee wide enough to receive all who need human love, fellowship and the Father’s care and narrow enough to shut out envy, pride and hate.

Make its threshold smooth that it may be no stumbling block to childhood, weakness or straying feet, but rugged and strong enough to turn back the tempter’s power.

God, make the door of this house the gateway to Thy Eternal Kingdom.”
