THANK YOU
PHILEMON: 1:4 I THANK MY GOD MAKING MENTION OF THEE ALWAYS IN MY PRAYERS
I want to thank everyone for your prayers and acts of kindness in the death of our beloved Sister, Mother, Grandmother and Friend--Louella Lawson. Thank you, Pastor Sholar, for the beautiful sermon and thanks to all of our preaching staff. Also thank the office staff and the kitchen staff. It really meant a lot for the love that was shown our family. I pray in turn that you’d be blessed by the loving hand of God. I pray your day be filled with peace and with God’s awesome grace. Thank you and may God continue to bless the fellowship here at Main Street. Love you all.

Catechism – a set form of questions and answers to teach the tenets of the Christian Faith:
Question: Are all people, just as they were lost through Adam, saved through Christ?
Answer: No, only those who are elected by God and united to Christ by faith.
Question: What happens after death to those not united to Christ by faith?
Answer: They will be cast out from the favorable presence of God, into hell, to be justly punished, forever.
Question: How can we be saved?
Answer: Only by faith in Jesus Christ and in His substitutionary atoning death on the cross.
Because of God’s grace, Main Street Baptist Church marches on….
