Dear friends,
THIS SUNDAY the Rev. Linda Faith Chalk will be leading us in worship.
AND A GOOD TIME WAS HAD BY ALL! A big thank you to all who helped make our annual barbeque such a wonderful success.
THIS SUNDAY’S SERMON TITLE is “God never leaves us in the wilderness”. This is a statement of faith of which we need to be reminded. We need to hear and know this. Elijah, after a tremendous victory over the prophets of Ba’al, ran for his life on Jezebel’s threats. The people of the country of the Gerasenes, needed to know this too. When God came to town in the person of Jesus Christ and did a lifechanging miracle in their midst, they sent him away. He wrecked their economy and set a man free. In the Psalms the writer speaks of hope, and the renewing of hope. Irrespective of where we are in our walk with God, His promise rings true that he will never leave us nor forsake us.
