June/July 2005


INDEPENDENCE DAY - We hope your 4th of July was full of pride and hope for America. America is a very blessed nation. Many lives have been sacrificed to make America what it is today. Please pray that “freedom rings” around the whole world.

Jesus Christ set a good example of sacrificial giving when He willingly gave His life on the cross. To everyone who receives Him there is forgiveness for sins and eternal life.

WORDS OF ENCOURAGEMENT
If God is for you who can be against you?
(submitted by Joan)

In this life we all must face trials and tribulations that can be overwhelming. The scripture that gives me strength is Romans Chapter 8 Verse 31, “What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? ”

Your adversaries may seem big but your God is bigger and He is on your side!
