FROM THE PASTOR
EPH.5:15 See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, SOMEONE HAS SAID THERE ARE GOOD DECISIONS AND THEN THERE ARE QUICK DECISIONS. HEROD MADE A VERY BAD DECISION ON THE SPUR OF THE MOMENT WHEN HE REWARDED HIS STEPDAUGHTER WITH A BLANK CHECK. HE SAID WHATEVER YOU WANT I WILL GIVE IT TO YOU UP TO HALF OF MY KINGDOM. SHE SAID, I WANT THE HEAD OF JOHN THE BAPTIST. HERODS MISTAKE IS EASILY UNDERSTOOD. HE WAS DRUNK, HE WAS DISTRACTED; HE WAS IMPULSIVE BY NATURE, CARRIED AWAY BY PASSION. WE CHOOSE IMPULSIVELY, TO OUR MISFORTUNE. BELIEVERS OUGHT NEVER TO MAKE THEIR DECISIONS IN SUCH A MANNER. AS PAUL CHALLENGES US, WE NEED TO LIVE AS WISE PEOPLE, NOT AS THE FOOLISH ONE HEROD. For wisdom [is] better than rubies; and all the things that may be desired are not to be compared to it. Pro. 8:11 *Roger*

Over the next few weeks in Childrens Church, we will focus on becoming strong and courageous kids. Your children will learn that God gives them the courage and encouragement they need to remain obedient to him, even during tough times, worldly pressures, and persecution. If your child is not a part of the Childrens Ministry here, we invite them to join us on Sundays at 9:45 a.m. for Sunday School, 10:30 a.m. for Childrens Church & 6:00 p.m. for Creative Kids and Wednesday at 7:00 p.m. for Kids church. "Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go." (Joshua 1:9 NIV) _____________ SOUP LABELS & MEDICINE BOTTLES The Ladies Ministry is collecting Campbell Soup labels for the Smoky Mountain Childrens Home. The Home collects these labels to purchase a van for the Home. The Iris B. Vest Widows Care Center uses empty medicine bottles to make crafts so bring in your empty medicine bottle, also. There will be containers for these items in the lobby. Thanks! _____________ BABY DEDICATION We will have a Baby Dedication at the beginning of the p.m. service today. If you would like to have your baby dedicated in this service, please see Pastor Rigney this morning. BAPTISMAL SERVICE There will be a Baptismal Service following the p.m. service today. If you would like to be baptized in this service, please see Pastor Rigney this morning.
