ANNOUNCEMENTS AND INFORMATION
September 9, 2012
FROM THE PASTOR
OUR MINDS STORHOUSE Benjamin Weir, a missionary in the Middle East, was forcefully taken by terrorists who placed him in solitary confinement in an out of the way room. With a blindfold over his eves, he didnt know where he was, had no one with whom to talk and had no contact with the outside world. He suffered true isolation. What was he to do? In a way, all he had was a beating heart and a mind free to think. To keep from being bored, he tapped into the information stored in his head. Many months later, after being freed, he said. I called up my memory bank, things that were stored in my mind. He recalled Scripture passages he had learned years before. He thought of words from some of Shakespeares works. He pondered the words of hymns and other musical pieces. He thought about his family, his wife and his friends. He remembered the work he loved. He thought of how the grace of God had ministered to him throughout his life. That was all he had to draw on. Does that say anything to us about what we should let into our minds? Shouldnt we store information that is spiritually helpful? Pure thoughts. Thoughts about the good and great things in life. Thoughts about the life of Christ and his saving grace. *Roger* COMING SOON Sep 9 BAPTISMAL SERVICE - FOLLOWING THE P.M.

Going back-to-school is an exciting and challenging time for kids. They can make new friends, adjust to new teachers, and get back to a more structured lifestyle. It can also be a time of testing for their faith. We started an exciting new series on wearing the full Armor of God. Are you Army Strong?
