Blessings in Christ,
I trust that each of you had a positive and productive first week of 2022. I praise God that He continues to keep a hedge of protection around our congregation. While there might be some mild suffering and sickness amang us, be it Coronavirus or other ailments, God keeps us fairing pretty well. Praise Him indeed. Of course, we continue to pray for those who are suffering and experiencing sickness, pain, or discomfort in any way.
I have quite a few announcements and resources to share.
Tonight I will be a guest on Kingdom in Context at 8pm et. (See attached graphic) talking about the “Coming of the Lord”. The program is on YouTube and you can visit the following link to be able to watch the program live, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y5SAIU_ZjTw
First, we will plan to have our Saturday Morning Bible Study tomorrow, 1/8 at 9am. However, please use wisdom and discernment pertaining to weather and travel, and decide for yourself if attending is appropriate. Also, we will keep an eye on the weather to determine whether or not we will be doing our bonfire tomorrow evening at 7pm.
We do plan to meet for Adult Sunday School (9am), Worship Service (10:30am), After Church Luncheon, and Common Prayer (6pm) this coming Sunday, 1/9.
This past week we began to do our Preterist Power Hour at 11am eastern, each week day. Our topic was the “mark of the beast” and we covered quite a bit of Scripture and commentary, had a few guests (Holger Neubauer and Johnny Ova among others), and provide many, many resources.
