Class Lunch this Sunday!

Don't forget that this Sunday, October 4th is our class luncheon in the Family Life Center. Please bring 2 side dishes. We will collect money for the meat and rolls.

We will have a special treat during lunch. Will and Elizabeth will find out the gender of their new baby during lunch. They had an ultrasound this week and got the ultrasound tech to put the results in an envelope without telling them. The envelope is being given to someone who will bake a cake which will be pink for a girl or blue for a boy. They won't know which it is until they cut the cake at lunch on Sunday! So you don't want to miss this as it will be a fun time of rejoicing with the Dukes!

Also let me mention, if you missed Sunday Morning's worship service.. you missed a treat. I highly recommend you listen to it on the church website..www.mntgilead.com. The entire service was focused on Authentic Corporate Worship. There were all types of music, responsive readings, Puritan prayers and Bro. Bradley tied it all together at the end. Wow! I was so blessed by it all.

Sunday School Lesson for 9/20/09

I hope everyone is doing well this week. This week's lesson is on Psalms 105 and Psalms 106. We don't know who wrote the two Psalms, but they are a picture of God's faithfullness in spite of Israel being unfaithful. The lesson reminded me of 2nd Timothy 2:11-13
"The saying is trustworthy, for:
If we have died with him, we will also live with him;
if we endure, we will also reign with him;
if we deny him, he also will deny us;
if we are faithless, he remains faithful - for he cannot deny himself."

Isn't that great that God's promises of salvation remain true even if we mess up. God's character is such that He keeps His word even when we don't.

Lamentations 3:22-23
"The steadfast love of the LORD never ceases;
his mercies never come to an end;
they are new every morning;
great is your faithfulness."

I look foward to seeing everyone Sunday!
