THE LIVING WORD PROGRAM

SUNDAY MORNING AT: 7:30 A.M.

KOLR – CHANNEL 10

MARCH 26, 2017

BULLETIN

RAY’S REMARKS:

What a wonderful Lord’s day we had this past Sunday. It was our privilege to gather as God’s people and to worship our Creator. We also had many other opportunities for growth and service to God as well. Thanks to all who stayed for the agape meal. It was also good to have many men show up for the Men’s Meeting Sunday afternoon. Our youth had a great afternoon of encouraging our shut-ins. As well, we were able to gather for worship Sunday evening. It is always a wonderful blessing for us all to be together as God’s people and to do things which glorify our Savior.

Well, spring is finally here, at least according to what the weathermen say. However, with all the crazy weather, it might be hard to tell. One day we have hot temperatures and the next day cold. Either way, it is nice to see so many of the beautiful days we have had lately. For certainly every day is a great blessing from God.

As far as an update on the school, we are down to our final few days of the quarter at the BIM. It has been a great quarter of study and now we are on to the last quarter of the 1

st year for one class and to the final quarter of study

for brother Cory. It is so exciting to see these men as they continue to study, grow and become greater servants in the Kingdom of God. Next month, our students have again been asked to speak at a lectureship at Lincoln, Missouri. The congregation there has had our men do the same, in the past and they are great supporters and encouragers of the BIM. I know the students are really nervous about the opportunity, but this will be a good challenge to make them use their skills and to get busy in the proclamation of God Word. Please remember the BIM, as well as all our preacher schools in Africa in your daily prayers. Great things continue to happen in the name of God and to the glory of our Creator.

I might also remind you that we have our annual BIM lectureship coming up in May. This year it will be great to have brother Chris Gardner back with us to speak, as well as brother Russ, Andy and Scott. Besides these good men, we will have our instructors speak as well. Please pray for this good work as we make final arrangements to get everything solidified.

Finally brethren, let me encourage you all to remember the family of sister Charlotte Steely. We will all miss our dearly beloved sister, but are thankful she is now able to enjoy the reward promised by God to the faithful. I hope you all have a great remainder of the week. I look forward to seeing most of you tonight as we gather to study God’s Word. Make sure that you are present Sunday, prepared and ready to give God your very best. See you all then, as well. God bless! *Ray Sullins*

We learned Saturday that our good

sister, Charlotte had passed away. Our hearts

were saddened in hearing this. Sister Charlotte

suffered so much with health problems as of

late. Her visitation will be Thursday evening

from 6-8. Her funeral service will be Friday at

11 A.M. The Wilson-Brim Funeral Home in Ash

Grove, Missouri is handling the arrangements.

We will all miss getting cards from her.

The men’s meeting was well attended

Sunday. Appreciate all who took time to attend.

We want to thank everyone in the

congregation for the work they are putting in:

the teachers, van drivers, song leaders,

custodians and secretary. Thanks to all.

Oh, give thanks to the Lord, for He is

good! For his mercy endures forever.

1 Chronicles 16:34

Hope to see everyone on Sunday at all of

the services.

Jerry & Gary
