Good Morning Favored in the Lord! What a delight to gather with others sharing the One Lord, One Faith, One Baptism, and One Body. Remember, our Unity is founded and grounded in the Unity of the Trinity! Praise God as the One True Living God. What separates us from the pagans? We've been forgiven of our idolatry, and we now follow the One God, the Maker of Heaven and Earth. Praise Him with zeal and passion today. It's a dangerous thing to gather with the saints in worship if your heart is evil or hard and your life has been one of pagan excesses the week before. Seek forgiveness through confession and repentance and are a zillion opportunities to make a difference. Speaking of volunteering, thanks to all of you who expressed interest in Prime Time Apt. Ministry. If you want to know more, see Matt Hurley. The possibilities are endless…The first Sunday in May is our annual Community Picnic following the Second Assembly.
