God's Blessings to

The Van Alstyne Family &

The Joe-Brown-Harris Family

Let Us Continue to Support Them

Through Prayer, Donations,

And let us not be weary

in well doing:

for in due season we shall reap,

if we faint not.

As we have therefore

opportunity,

let us do good unto all men,

especially unto them who are

of the household of faith.

Galatians 6:9-10

 

In theses troubled times,

be encouraged,

for we have a Savior!

Hear the Word

But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the …..works that are therein shall be….. burned up.

 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,

Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?

 Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.

 Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless.

But grow in grace,

And in the knowledge of our

Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

To him be glory

Both now and for ever.

AMEN

2 Peter 3:10-14 & 18

2 Timothy 2:15

Finally, Brethren,

Whatsoever things are true,

Whatsoever things are honest,

Whatsoever things are just,

Whatsoever things are pure,

Whatsoever things are lovely,

Whatsoever things are of a good report;

If there is any virtue, and if there be any praise,

Think on these things.

Philippians 4:8

- - - - - - - - - -

For I am persuaded,

that neither death, nor life,

nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor

things present, nor things to come, nor height,

nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able

to separate us from the love of God, which is in

Christ Jesus our Lord.

Romans 8:38-39
