In Jesus’ Name we pray, Amen

Unless the Lord built the house, those who build it labor in vain. Unless the Lord guards the city, the guard keeps watch in vain.” The Lord is building the house. The Lord is guarding the city. Go forth to your home, to your schools, to your work, to the cities, to the world in faith. Go in the presence and power of God. Amen
NOTES:
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
To the Eastwick Family: Thank you again for your cards, text messages, love gifts and even calling during this past season. I would add to my thanks, the wonderful fruit baskets and the beautiful orchid plant. I so appreciate you for being so thoughtfully concerned. God is full of grace and mercy, and surely God is able. I continue to hold on to that even as I continue to press through for full restoration. May the Lord God reward you openly for the things you have done so generously in secret. Rev. Duncan
To All Leadership: Please submit any dates for event or training times to the Pastor, Church, Secretary, Administrative Council Chair, and Building Use Scheduler (Rev. Duncan, Pat Patton, Dr. Carana Bennett, Joyce Brown).
Jan. 19, 2025 – Celebration of Leadership. I am asking that those who lead ministries within the life of the church come together in worship today if able. Let us invite others as we celebrate whom God has placed among us for the task of leading. We give thanks and honor to God who has planted leaders within the life of the church to help guide us in the work that we do. We recognize that leadership is not easy and that the call to leadership requires much of us. We give thanks to God for the strength that enables us to complete the work defined and designed for each leader. Today we give God thanks for those whom he has called to leadership. Let’s remember them with our prayers and our support.
This week’s Hour of Power is rescheduled to January 17th.
