Bro. Mark’s message was from Romans 3:10-12.
“Thank You” to all the Veterans who gave so much for us to have our freedom.
As the scriptures say, No one is good, no one in all the world is innocent. No one has ever really followed God’s path, or truly wanted to. Everyone has turned away. No one anywhere has kept on doing what is right, not one.
Believe in your heart that Jesus is Savior and confess with your mouth and you will be saved. Your old sin living nature was buried with Him by baptism. Your new life is now resurrected just as Jesus. He wants us as close to Him as we can be.

Sunday, November 12th was a day of celebration. We had a great time of discipleship in Sunday school. Then, our worship service started with testimonies responding how God had spoke to those that had prayed for our youth. Sunday was the last day of the 40 days of Prayer and Fasting for the young people in our church. We ask you to always keep them in your prayers, so many decisions each day for our young people, pray they ask God for guidance.
We celebrated the baptism of Charles Price; pray for Charles as he begins his walk with Christ. Barry Stephens led the children’s message and Brystal Smith-Beighle read scripture, Psalm 103:1-5. The Praise team had special music followed with Bro. Dale’s message Celebration, from Psalm 34:1-4. “I sought the Lord, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears.” Psalm 34:4.
