Affirmation of Faith.
Barbara Pollard had the Children’s Time this Sunday and gave the
children a review of what has already been taught them on “How to get
to Heaven.” She wrote each child scriptures on believing, salvation
and scriptures about God giving everyone a choice and put them in
little treat bags and told the children to take them home and put them
in their parent’s Bible and they would be there when they needed them.
Norman Minor read Colossians 3:1-7 which advises us to set our
affections on things above and not on things of this world.

Pastor Gowling. The graduating seniors are Colton Holder and John
Papaioannou. The seniors were also presented scholarships at Senior
Day at the Callisburg High School on Sunday afternoon.

from the book of Colossians. Pastor Gowling encouraged the church to
read the book of Colossians this week.

Sunday review
Mary Friddell opened the morning worship with prayer. Dean Armstrong
and Choice Stephens took up the offering as Suzanne Carpenter played
Holy, Holy, Holy on the grand piano. Rick Collett sang “Victory in
Jesus” as Suzanne Carpenter accompanied him on the piano.
Bro. Bill Black’s sermon was from Hebrews 11:1-10. God loves
‘reckless’ faith better than ‘organized’ faith. In this Biblical
passage, examples are given of Abel, Enoch, Abraham and Noah. All of
them went into the unknown, trusting God. What are you risking for
your faith?
Choice Stephens gave the benediction.
