Laying down our Pride for Christ 1 Kings 3:3-5 Acts 4:8-12 What are the main points of the message? What will I do differently as a result of this message? Apostles Creed I believe in God the Father almighty, maker of heaven and earth; And in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord; who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary; suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried, He descended into hell. The third day he rose again from the dead. He ascended into heaven and sits at the right hand of God the Father almighty. From thence he shall come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy Christian Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.
VBS Early-Registration is now available @ www.b-r-c.org Who will you invite? July 6-10 Mechanics wanted: Love INC, an excellent local mission agency we support, has a waiting list of clients they would like to help with car repairs. They will provide the parts, but need a few mechanics willing to donate their expertise and labor to make this happen. Most of these situations are critical because a working car means the clients can get to their job, their doctor, the grocery store, etc. If you or someone you know can help, please call 330-321-1765 and ask for Mike. Attendance last week was 77 & 109. Offerings for May 31 totaled $10,768, and for June 7 totaled $8,253.
