Greetings friends. Do you read the Bible? I hope you don’t just read the words, but live them too.
Pastor Ron spoke to us on Sunday from John 3 25-36. He challenged us to trust the Word, accept it and believe it!
The men are planning a prayer breakfast in the near future.
A plan for a special Saturday for the youth is in the future. More details to follow. Exciting times!
Please keep David Pribble, Betty Bay, Carolyn, Jason Ewing, Betty Bierman, Mike Blevins, and Donnie and Jill and Katie Wright in your thoughts and prayers.

Pleasant Ridge Baptist
Bro. Mark’s message was from Genesis 37. Joseph age 17 son of Jacob went through a lot but never complained. Joseph’s older brothers hated him. Joseph would tell his father the bad things they were doing. Of course the brothers noticed their father’s partiality to Joseph. The brothers wanted to kill him. But instead they stripped him of his coat of many colors and put him in a pit to die. A group of Ishmaelite’s came by and they sold Joseph to them and told their father he was killed by a wild animal. Joseph being sold into slavery saved a nation. Later in life his brothers would come face to face with Joseph during the famine. Joseph maintained his trust in God. Eventually rising from a pit to a palace. We don’t know how hardships in our own life will work out. Coping involves accepting the situation and focusing on what you can control.

Trinity Southern Baptist
Sunday, our congregation kicked off an inspiring new series titled Build the Future, focusing on the power of prayer. As we delved into Daniel 6, we explored how prayer can be an essential tool in shaping our future and strengthening our faith. The message resonated with many as we were reminded of God’s faithfulness in the midst of challenges.
The service also included a powerful moment of celebration as we witnessed two baptisms, bringing our total for the year to 19. Additionally, we rejoiced in the salvation of one individual, marking a transformative step in their spiritual journey.
After service, parents gathered for an insightful meeting about Crossing Camp this summer, with exciting plans ahead. Looking ahead, we’re also thrilled to announce a Fall Prevention, Balancing, and Strengthening Course this Tuesday from 6:30-7:30 PM at Trinity, as part of our ongoing health initiative. Don’t miss out on this opportunity to strengthen both body and spirit!

“My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me. I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one will snatch them out of my hand.” John 10:27-28. This was the scripture for the children’s message, Guaranteed Forever.
The only guarantee we have for eternal life is to accept, believe, and confess. Romans 10:9 says, “… that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.”
Scripture, Isaiah 1:18, was read by Miley Smith followed by Special Music from Kandace Winstead, accompanied by Robin Koettel & Sandy Gabbard. She sang Living Water, and it was a blessing to the congregation.
The message from Bro. Dale was, Blessed By The Resurrection. “He (Jesus) canceled the record of the charges against us and took it away by nailing it to the cross.” Col 2:14.
