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!

THANK YOU
Praise God for a blessed anniversary service and fun day. We are so grateful to have been selected to serve this year. Pastor and selection committee, thank you for entrusting these days with us. When we say we have a loving church it is shown by the way everyone worked together. Thank you to each person that participated in the morning service.
When we say “WOW” to the decorations, that is an understatement. Sis. Denise, the room was breathtaking! Sis. Lisa and Sis. Tonja for orchestrating the dining room and kitchen in such an organized manner, we are grateful. Both teams are 2nd to none. Our ushers, cleanup committee and kids crew, you are greatly appreciated.
Then when the planning for the fun day, Sis. Marla and Sis. Sheresa came through with strong support. Thank you, Deacon Bredwood and Deacon Nelson for manning the grill. Sis. Flo, Deacon Moore and Elder Thomas, thank you for your guidance.
If we have forgotten to mention anyone, please know it is a slip of the mind not the heart. We appreciate you too. Deacon Micheal and Sis. Debbie Jones
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.
Pastor Victor Sholar
