Several of our youth are heading to camp next week. We pray that they are drawn closer to God while they are away.

Bro. Mark’s message was from John 20:10-16.
Mary returned to the tomb and was outside crying. She stooped and looked in and saw 2 angels. One sitting at the head and one at the foot of where the body of Jesus had been lying. The angels asked why are you crying. They have taken away my Lord. She glanced over her shoulder and saw someone standing behind her. It was Jesus but she didn’t recognize him. Mary thought it was the gardener. Sir if you have taken him away, tell me where and I will go get him. Mary! Jesus said. She turned and knew it was Jesus.
So the tone of Jesus calling Mary’s name was all it took. We can never grasp what love God has for us. Has God spoke to you? Blessed are those who haven’t seen me and believe anyway.

“For this reason Christ is the mediator of a new covenant, that those who are called may receive the promised eternal inheritance – now that he has died as a ransom to set them free from the sins committed under the first covenant.” Hebrews 9:15 This verse was the scripture for the children’s message Sunday morning. Bro. Dale also told the kids, how- many had died protecting our freedom. Jesus died on the cross to give us eternal life, and many have died on a battlefield to give us the freedom to worship and grow in our faith of Jesus Christ.
Kip Gregg read II Chronicles 7:14 followed by the Praise team special, Heal Our Land. Hope For America was the message Bro. Dale brought, from I Timothy 2:1-4, “I urge you, first of all, to pray for all people. Ask God to help them; intercede on their behalf, and give thanks for them. Pray this way for kings and all who are in authority so that we can live peaceful and quiet lives...".
