Announcement
We want to do something special just for you and your family!!! The "fun bunch" Sunday school class invites you and your children to come for breakfast this Sunday October 24th. We are fixing a light breakfast, serving around 9:45, in the hopes that all the younger couples and younger adults in our church family will come. We hope to prepare a breakfast for you once a month to help you get to Sunday school and enjoy fellowship with each other.
We have been there and know it is difficult to be everywhere everyday! So, in order to show you how much we love you and understand, we want to make it a little easier once a month!
Scripture for Sunday
Matthew 22:34-40 (ESV)
But when the Pharisees heard that he had silenced the Sadducees, they gathered together. [35] And one of them, a lawyer, asked him a question to test him. [36] "Teacher, which is the great commandment in the Law?" [37] And he said to him, "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. [38] This is the great and first commandment. [39] And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. [40] On these two commandments depend all the Law and the Prophets."
