SEPTEMBER IS ALABASTER MONTH:
Twice a year you are urged to fill up your Alabaster Box with
change. 100% of this money will be used to build schools, clinics,
churches, hospitals and parsonages on our 153 foreign mission fields.
This offering has an amazing impact for Jesus around the world. We
will have this "March Offering" on Sunday morning, September 27th!
Pick up an alabaster box to fill as you leave today!!!
VISIT THE CHURCH LIBRARY:
Check out books that will be a help to you. We all need "shots" of
inspiration and encouragement.

Unspoken request
Pray for these this week.
Samuel Logan Brengle, a great holiness preacher, once said:
"Four hundred devils cannot stand before the man who makes
it the rule of his life to get up early to praise the Lord and plead
for God's blessing on his own soul and on the world. They will
flee away." .
As we bow in prayer, we bring before God our sacrifice of love
and fellowship; we give Him homage and honor as we acknowledge
Him as the Lord of our lives. Our prayers rise as a pleasing aroma
before the Lord and become a conduit for victorious living.
