Announcements

Brother Carl Ballard from Eastside church of Christ (Pittsburgh, PA) will be here for a gospel meeting on Friday May 17th through Sunday May 19th. In preparation, he would like us to read at least Leviticus chapters 1-11

He is excited about teaching from the book of Leviticus and hopes to give us a better appreciation of that book.

Because of the gospel meeting schedule for May 17th through May 19th, 2024, there will be no Bible study for the men or ladies on the Spanish speaking side that weekend. If studies are rescheduled, those dates will be shared.

MEMBER ALERT:

Bible classes: The 2nd quarter of our “Shaping Hearts” Bible class curriculum starts on Sunday April 7, 2024. The walls of the hallway, showcases great stories in Exodus. These accounts teach us about God’s mighty hand, and His power. God rescues the Israelites from the Oppressor, the Passover Lamb provides salvation, and the red sea is parted to allow the Israelites to escape. Your child will learn how the Old Testament is truly a tutor to lead us to Christ (Galatians 3:24). This is exciting

Lessons are taught Sundays 10-10:45am, and Wednesdays 7:30- 8:15pm. We encourage you to bring your young ones to both classes so the can benefit most from lessons. Our prayer and goal is that our young ones will love the Truth and internalize the Truths in scriptures so they may become obedient and faithful disciples of Christ. Let us all do our part to encourage our young ones to memorize scripture, develop holy habits, and love to come to Bible classes and worship services. Parents and guardians, we are honored to journey with you on this path. If you did not receive the Bible class letter from our shepherds, please contact brothers Kwaku or Riley

Mark your calendar for the upcoming Vacation Bible School (VBS) scheduled for June 26 through June 29, 2024. See Kim Bramble or Arnoldo Velasquez for further details.

Pray for our shepherds and the flock (our congregation): that we may all submit to the Lord's will and His design for His Church that He purchased with His own blood (Acts 20:28, 31; 1 Thessalonians 5:11-24; 1 Timothy 3:1-7; 5:1-21; Titus 1:6-15; 1 Peter 5:1-11).

MEMORY VERSES

Matthew 5:14-16 “You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden;nor does anyone light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on the lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house.In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven. “

Matthew 10:32 “Therefore, everyone who confesses Me before people, I will also confess him before My Father who is in heaven.

Encouraging One Another How am I adding value to the life of others?

1 Thessalonians 5:11 “Therefore, encourage one another and build one another up, just as you also are doing.

Hebrews 10:24 “And let’s consider how to encourage one another in love and good deeds”

Hebrews 10:25 “Not abandoning our own meeting together, as is the habit of some people, but encouraging one another; and all the more as you see the day drawing near. Romans 1:12 “That is, that you and I may be mutually encouraged by each other’s faith.

Romans 14:19 “So then we pursue the things which make for peace and the building up of one another”.

Hebrews 3:13 “But encourage one another every day, as long as it is still called “today,” so that none of you will be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin. How intentional am I in building up others: those I know well and those I do not know well? What mindset do I have to encourage others and build up others?

God cares so much for each and every one and values each one so much, no matter what. May we each resolve to cultivate this mindset, preferring and honoring one another (Romans 12:10; Philippians 2:3), thus encouraging and building up one another “all the more as we see the day drawing near.”
