WEDNESDAY
WEDNESDAY WARRIORS! Going through May 29th from 7-8 pm we will join together as a congregation to ‘take back what the enemy stole’. The adult sanctuary class will be going through the study by Tony Evans titled, “Kingdom Politics, Returning God to Government” as we begin NOW praying for the Fall election. Dr. Evans asks the question, “Will we be one nation under God or a divided nation apart from God?”
OUR children ages 5-11 will join together in the fellowship hall to study, make, and learn to put on the ARMOR OF GOD DAILY! From 7pm-8pm we will share how to put on and apply the armor of God. We want our children to know how to handle bullying, thoughts, mind-set, to resist temptation and the evil culture and to stand on the Word of God! We will begin each week with a light supper. The child(ren) who attend ALL nine weeks will have their name put into a drawing for a $50 gift card – to either Walmart or Amazon, their choice!
Sunday, June 2nd we will have the drawing during the morning worship service along with a presentation to each that attended.
These studies are going to make a great start to our Summer, so please don’t miss!!!
LAST FRIDAY EACH MONTH

Formerly known as the teen class will now be a youth group for ages 12-19 (excluding Jeremy & Kellie). Once a child turns 12, they will go into “youth group” and once they turn 20, they will go into the adult classes.
FROM THE PASTOR’S DESK
“Embrace God, Impact YOUR World”
MAY 2024
From the Pastor’s Desk:
Have you ever had a situation in life that you know that God had divinely directed that particular moment to accomplish His purpose in your life? You have heard me say for years that, “I don’t believe in accidents but in appointments that have been directed by the wisdom and power of God in our lives.” Most of us have had those God moments when we see the hand of God move in a particular situation. Recently someone shared with me 4 truths about God moments that I would like to share with you today. 1) God moments are not just interruptions but planned moments. Throughout life we all have interruptions, yet when God moves, He doesn’t just interrupt, He intervenes. Proverbs 20:24 says, “A man’s steps are from the Lord;” Psalm 37:23 states, “the steps of a man are established by the Lord, when he delights in His way.” 2) God moments happen when we pray for the will of God, but also for wisdom to know the timing of His will. Throughout the scripture, we find the people of God in the right place at the right time for the glory of God in their midst. Mordecai asked Esther in Esther 4:14, “and who knows whether you have not come to the kingdom for such a time as this?” 3) God moments happen because there are no accidents with God. Our God has been so precise in the establishment of this world and even though things happen that surprise us, God is never surprised. An all- knowing God can never be surprised by what happens and He allows it for His glory. 4) God moments happen because God wants to encounter us as we encounter Him. We have been designed to live in perpetual relationship with the Lord of Heaven and that relationship prepares us for whatever situations we may encounter in this life.
Divine interruptions or interventions all come through the filter of God who is in complete control of our lives. You are not an accident, but God wants to use these things to draw you closer to His divine perfect will.
