To Our Guests

Welcome! We are glad you are here.

We are pleased and honored you have chosen to visit with us today. The Arab Church

of Christ is a church family devoted to serving God through our lives and work. We fol-

low no creed or manmade doctrine. Our only authoritative guide is the Bible. As we

worship together today, our desire is to worship God according to the New Testament

pattern in a way which is pleasing and acceptable to Him.

Should you have any questions, comments, prayer requests or need assistance in any-

way, we are here to help. Please fill out a visitor’s card and place it in the contribution

tray at the appropriate time.

Youth Corner

Weeds, Weeds, and More Weeds!!!

Matthew 13:24-30; 36-43 The devil is at work. He is a lion seeking whom he may devour. He likes to plant the seeds of the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life in the hearts of men. Look what kind of garden he has grown. The world shows the fruits of his labor and those who serve him. It is awful that such seed is sown amongst God’s seed. However, it is there. We are not that seed. We live in the world, just passing through. We are not of the world, and do not bare those rotten fruits. Do not forget that. It’s okay. God will take care of it all and separate it out. Just be very careful. Make sure you are not caught up with the weeds. Bare the fruit to God. Then you will have eternal life. ~Steve Johnson~

Ken’s Comments

Our attendance is gradually increasing Sunday morning and night which is good news. It seems to be safer and people are feeling more comfortable. We hope to get started back on Wednesday nights in the near future.

Our Ladies Class got back underway Wednesday. Thank you Judy for teaching the class. There was a good crowd and everyone enjoyed a good lunch together in the basement.

David Humphries is celebrating another birthday. I want to personally wish this good man many more!

I am really enjoying our Zoom Class on Wednesday nights. I appreciate the good participation in the class. We had a good brother from India that listened to Sunday’s sermon. I messaged him and told him how much I appreciated his good work. We have so many wonderful opportunities today to preach and teach the gospel. It’s wonderful to know that people are listening from so many dif-ferent places.

Please tell someone this week how much you appreciate them. It will encourage them and make yourself feel better as well. It is very important to have a positive attitude and good outlook on life. It is such a joy to be around people that do.

I love these words, “Be still, and know that I am God” (Psalm 46:10).

It is easy to take harvest time for granted. I have seen many crops harvested in the last few weeks. We thank God for blessing the crops to feed and cloth us and we also thank those farmers who work long hours in the fields.

Please pray for our Nation. You are praying for the future of your children and grandchildren!

Keep calling in names and addresses for the card list. We need your help every week.

I’m excited about another Sunday of worship with you. Keep praying and working. Always re-member how much the good Lord loves you and how important it is to be a faithful member of His church. Hannah and I are so thankful for you and love you very much!
