CHURCH NEWS
Blanket Creek
This week the pastor told us a true story that he witnessed with his own eyes. While attending another church (which is so large it has four services) to see his grandson be baptized, he noticed a large crowd gathered around a truck. Wanting to see what the crowd was all about he checked it out and found it was a Kona truck offering free Kona Ices. He said the message was wonderful and during the invitation he expected several to go up and accept Christ as their Savior. No one did. They lined up for a free Kona, but not one accepted the free gift of Salvation.
Please remember the families who have recently lost loved ones. God Bless

Our Sunday school lesson was from Daniel, it helped us to realize how we can stand up for our beliefs in a manner that doesn’t cause conflict and still honor God.
The children’s message, A Word to the Wise from Ephesians, was a message on how to be careful, be wise, and to make the most of every opportunity. Luke Gregg read scripture Acts 11:25-26 followed by special music. Bro. Dale’s message from 2 Peter 3:3-9, the scripture told of how the people thought Jesus would return any day. They got frustrated, just like we do today, but are you ready for His return?
We are all loved by Jesus, but we must confess our sins and make a public profession of faith and follow through in baptism to be assured of eternal life with Jesus.
Sunday evening after Discipleship Training and Worship we all enjoyed homemade ice cream and desserts in the fellowship hall.
