Minister Shawn Howard encourages us to "Stay in the Boat"

All around us we see lives collapsing with broken hearts and broken homes and broken hopes—with shattered minds and shattered emotions and shattered bodies. What has gone wrong? The foundation on which the majority of people are building their lives is cracked and flawed. The Bible tells us there is only one foundation for individual or national life that will last, regardless of the crisis or pressure, and it is the foundation of Jesus Christ.

Guest Preacher Rev Andly Odle ministers to us about how the church should and care for all.

Our theme this month is “I will not be a church dropout.” As church attendance continues to decline we must make a conscious choice not to become a church dropout. We must talk about the cause of church dropouts, discover the cure for people leaving the church and align ourselves to the mission of the church. We must stop focusing on the “I” syndrome in the church and begin to focus on the “we can” syndrome. We must be intentional in building the church with Christ.

Rev Norris Ferris reminds us that Christ is waiting on us to say "I Will".

The church should make a difference in the community spiritually, morally, politically and socially. When members of the church get involved in the community our Christian witness is expanded. Many people want to do good in the community but few want to acknowledge that their work is because of Christ. The church should consist of members who desire to make the community a better place to live.

Rev Ludora Randall speaks about the Lord's Healing Power.

We are living in a time when people appreciate a church with a great ministry. They want to experience great singing, preaching, greeters and children church. In other words folk desire for everything to look good but few want to get involved in making things look good. Some people prefer streaming the service rather than praying in the service. Somehow we have forgotten that the church can only do what church members are willing do.

Minister Sybil O'Neal uses Psalm 100 to remind us that in being a joyous church member, we also need to celebrate our cheerfulness.

Appointments are a part of the fabric of life. Every day we make an appointment in our daily routine or for a special meeting. Too many people fail to make an appointment with God. That is reflected in their designated time for prayer, Bible study, and fellowship with believers.
