Welcome on this first Sunday of October to worship the God of Fall beauty. Greet each other in the beauty of Christian friendship.
Jesus loved His disciples and didn't want them to forget why He came. He became close friends to them but wanted them to know His mission was to sacrifice Himself.
Today many Christians all over the world will take the Lord's Supper to remember the offering of Jesus' blood and body. And we are part of that great and wonderful family of God.
For 90 years the Hagerstown Church of the Nazarene has continued the mission of Christ to a lost and needy community and world. They worked hard, prayed, believed, and witnessed to God's way of holiness.
As we take the Lord's Supper we participate with those who preceded us and wait for us at the wedding supper of the lamb.
Time is short and the day is far spent. We must work the work of Him who sent Jesus. People need the Lord. They hunger for heart holiness. Only in Christ are all our needs met. Let us live life to its fullness in Christ.
“A cheerful heart is good medicine” Proverbs 17:22
Bob was an unlucky sap. Having just spent megabucks on a skydiving class, he dove out of the airplane and pulled the ripcord. The chute emerged, tangled, and he cut it free. He then pulled the cord on the reserve chute, and it also was tangled. He prayed to his God and looked down to the ground below. To his amazement, a woman was coming up with equal velocity."Hey, you know anything about parachutes?" he shouted to her, as they passed by. The reply: "No... you know anything about Coleman stoves?"
Children enjoyed pizza and a movie last Friday with 27 boys and girls watching the movie, The Secret of Jonathan Sperry. Everyone had a great time.
Thank you, Carol and Lori, for organizing this.
Prayers at the altar continue 8:00 p.m. each Monday. Write your requests on the yellow card and place it in the offering plate. Prayer is the real work of the church for God's will to be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Hagerstown Faith Housing is for senior rental assisted living. If you know of anyone interested, phone Nancy Williamson at 489-4898.
Alabaster received a great offering of $227.54 last week. Your gift goes to building church buildings, health clinics, parsonages, and missionary equipment.
We celebrate the giving of Alabaster to missions as Mary Magdalene did by pouring the precious and expensive alabaster ointment on Jesus' feet.
Final Financial Statement for September reflects building, church bus, and unemployment compensation insurances. It is a big chunk of change but 'Praise the Lord' we were able to pay the whole annual premium.
'God is GOOD' and we are very grateful for your faith giving to advance the Kingdom of God through the Hagerstown Church of the Nazarene.
Happiness is Serious Business is our discipleship study on Wednesday at 6:30 p.m. This discipleship study looks at the things that guarantee our happiness through Jesus' beatitudes.
This Wednesday we'll study the beatitude of meekness. Jesus' values are so much different than the world's.
'Engage the Word' Join us in a 40 day journey through reading the scriptures for personal and family benefit. Reading the Word of God four times a week or more will have a significant impact on your world view, attitudes, and habits. Be sure you receive your reading schedule. There is a special plan for those with children.
Baptismal Service has been rescheduled to the first Sunday in November. Other churches on the zone have baptismal candidates. We will have a combined zone service for the baptisms.
Thank you, Thank you, Frank, Rex, Monty, Kerry, and Bob for installing a new water fountain, installing seven window shades, and removing a baseboard heater. "Let your light so shine before men that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven," said Jesus.
Joe & Lois Rosolino will be moving to New Jersey this month. We will miss this special couple. They have really endeared themselves to our hearts. We will never forget them. Keep them in your prayers as they make the final preparations to move October 17.
