Today is Friends & Family Day.
Combined Classes in the Auditorium.
Everyone is invited To stay for Noon Luncheon.
Welcome Friends & Family!!!
To all of our friends, neighbors, relatives, and associates who have graciously consented to visit our services today, we extend a hearty welcome! The elders, deacons, teachers, preacher, and members of the North Jefferson Church of Christ would like to thank you so much for attending our Sunday services today, to be our special guests for our third annual “Friends & Family Day.”
Our worship today will follow the same simple pattern and format of Scripturally-authorized worship that is practiced at our services every Lord’s Day. However, we have given this Sunday the special designation of “Friends & Family Day,” in order to make a special effort to invite our friends, neighbors, and relatives to get better acquainted with the Lord’s church which meets here on North Jefferson, in Mt. Pleasant.
Through this special effort, it is our humble desire to reach out to our community with the soul-saving Gospel of Jesus Christ. As members of Christ’s church, we have embraced the Bible-based philosophy that the religious unity for which Christ prayed in John 17, can only be achieved by throwing away all man-made dogmas, doctrines, and creeds, and by casting off all of the divisive names of denominationalism, in order that we might follow God’s plan for His Son’s church, as outlined in the New Testament. In this way we believe we can be pleasing in God’s sight by being nothing more or nothing less than simple New Testament “Christians.”
In our combined Bible class this morning, we will introduce and preview our “Vacation Bible School,” which will be conducted this week, Mon. - Fri., June 9th - 13th, from 9:00 - 11:00 a.m. each morning. Our vital theme for this year’s school is: “Great Women of the Old Testament.” We hope your children, who are between the ages of two years old and 6th grade, will come and be with us for this exciting Bible–based learning experience.
At our worship hour this morning, we will worship God together in spirit and in truth, just like the first century church worshipped God according to the pattern outlined for His church in the New Testament. My sermon this morning is intended to show the distinctive nature, teaching, and practice of the church founded by Christ and purchased with His blood (Mat. 16:18 & Acts 20:28). This will be in contrast to the many man-made denominational churches which exist in our world today. The simple plea of undenominational New Testament Christianity, based on the authority of Christ’s teaching, will be presented as the only reasonable way to achieve spiritual unity in our religiously divided world.
A loving God who was willing to let His Son pay our sin debt, is someone you ought to want to get to know. We hope today to show you the love of Jesus and to share with you His plan for saving your soul and making it possible for you to be adopted into the family of God! We believe your life will never be the same again after you really get to know our loving God, and His Holy Son, Jesus, the Christ.
Again thank you for being our guest today! We hope this day proves to be the beginning of a wonderful life-changing, faith-building, spiritual experience for you, which will ultimately lead you home to a heavenly eternity in the presence of God! We invite you to return for our evening worship service tonight at 6:00. Until then, may God richly bless you! In Christian love,
David McCain
