I am privileged to have the opportunity of being involved in this project, and I will be able to keep you informed on the latest happenings. Right now, the most critical need is for funding to endow the Center (the architect’s sketch is on the website).
All Friday night singings are at 7:00 unless otherwise

1. “Sluggard” is not a word that we use every day.
1) Perhaps by reading from various other translations, we can get the gist of the wise man’s advice.
Go to the ant, you hater of work; give thought to her ways and be wise (Bible in Basic English).
You lazy people can learn by watching an anthill (Contemporary English Version). Read the rest of this entry »
INTRODUCTION: Ps. 103:17-18.
1. The burden of my lesson today is how we should understand and follow the Bible’s command to fear God.

As I was thinking of things to include in the Kids Korner, I decided to spell it a little differently just for fun. I hope that the links provided in this brief article will be helpful and useful to our kids, as they try to (1) learn about God, Christ, the Holy Spirit, and the church; and (2) as they grow in their personal faith toward and love for our Lord.
