We have come as the body of Christ to do Holy business for our King. We have come in troubled times, but we have high spirits.  We know the  Eternal One is still on the throne.  Saints, lift up holy hands, lift high your voices and praise the Sovereign One.  Mighty is our God, holy are His judgments, and He is altogether lovely.  Praise Him!  Praise Him!  Praise Him!

 I Cor. 11:18-34  (Scripture Reading) 

 For first of all, when ye come together in the church, I hear that there be divisions among you; and I partly believe it.

19 For there must be also heresies among you, that they which are approved may be made manifest among you.

20 When ye come together therefore into one place, this is not to eat the Lord's supper.

21 For in eating every one taketh before other his own supper: and one is hungry, and another is drunken.

 

22 What? have ye not houses to eat and to drink in? or despise ye the church of God, and shame them that have not? what shall I say to you? shall I praise you in this? I praise you not.

23 For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, that the Lord Jesus the same night in which he was betrayed took bread:

24 And when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me.

25 After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, this cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me.

 

26 For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord's death till he come.

27 Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord.

28 But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup.

29 For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's body.

 

30 For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep.

31 For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged.

32 But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world.

33 Wherefore, my brethren, when ye come together to eat, tarry one for another.

34 And if any man hunger, let him eat at home; that ye come not together unto condemnation. And the rest will I set in order when I come.

PARKING LOT INFO--Reminder

Dea. Ridgeway offered an update on parking concerns last Sunday.  He asks that we park ONLY clearly marked spots.  Please do not block any pathways that are the lanes for vehicles to travel in and out of the lot.  Further, please follow directional arrows. If you arrive later and there are no parking spots available, please park in the Rupp Arena parking lot. Again, DO NOT create a spot for your vehicle unless that area is clearly marked as a parking spot.  Doing so could possibly cause a concern for entry of emergency vehicles, if needed. Further, the driveway at the Braxton Bldg. is not to be used for parking.  Please help us with this issue as well. Periodic updates shall be given to the congregation.  Thank you.

Copies of directions to the Rupp Arena parking garage are available in the church vestibule or church office.  


 

 

 


                                  

BIBLE STUDY BOOKS

Pastor Sholar will be teaching from the book “Fundamentals of the Faith” (with book introduction by John MacArthur) for Tuesday night Bible Study.  This book presents “13 lessons to grow in the grace and knowledge of Jesus Christ.”  All are encouraged to have a personal copy as this is a workbook.

Books have been ordered in bulk and may be purchased for $5.  All who wish to get one may stop by the church office.
