Minister’s Corner

Good morning and A Happy New Year to you! Thank you for being here this first Lord’s Day of 2020. I pray that you will be blessed and encouraged , as well as challenged, by your presence today. We ended the year with a sermon on 20-20 vision for the 2020 year and I pray that as the Bible encourages us, we’ve started the year with “our eyes fixed on Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith.” (Hebrews 12:2)

At this beginning of year, we find ourselves in a world more confused about Truth than ever in our lifetimes. By keeping our mind’s eyes fixed on Jesus we will see with 20-20 clarity of vision the Truth of our world and be able to be guided in righteousness by a God who promised to always be near and ready to do so.

“Turn your eyes upon Jesus, Look full in His wonderful face, And the things of earth will grow strangely dim, In the light of His glory and grace,” says the song. “His word shall not fail you, He promised, Believe Him and all will be well, Then go to a world that is dying, His perfect salvation to tell,” It continues with clarity of purpose and vision. This is what we are called to, it’s as simple as that – believe Him & tell. Do your 2020 plans include these two simple details?  

This Wednesday – January 8th – Family Time & Peak of the Week

Bring your takeout dinner to the church building on Wednesday from 6:00 PM and enjoy it in the company of brothers and sisters in Christ…

From 7:00 PM we will continue the viewing of Chosen, the new series on the life of our Lord. This episode is called The Wedding Gift and gives a little more creative introspect on the event that includes Jesus’ first real public miracle.

Birthdays this week: Beth Clary (6th); Mary Alice Cowie (9th)

2020 Church Calendar

I couldn’t finish the calendar for this Sunday so, next Sunday I will have our tentative 2020 calendar in the fellowship room for anyone to verify/edit/add/suggest dates for birthdays, anniversaries and our main events.

Men’s Breakfast

In 2019 we held our men’s breakfast from 8:30 AM on the 3rd Sunday of each month. This seems to be an inconvenient time for most of the men in the congregation so for 2020 I am accepting suggestion for a better time and day that would create the possibility for most of the men of the congregation to attend. Please drop your suggested time and days of the week in the Suggestion Box in the hallway, by the front door. Thank you in advance!

Bakhrom Kholmatov Update

The 42-year-old pastor also known as Bakhrom Holmatov, was arrested after KNB officers raided the Sonmin Sonbogym [Good News of Grace] Protestant Church, harassing and beating church members in addition to arresting the pastor. During the raid, the officers confiscated items from the church, including the pastor’s computer and the book “More Than a Carpenter” by Josh McDowell.

In a wonderful Christmas gift for his family, Bakhrom Kholmatov was freed early from prison today (after 982 days in prison), a little more than three months earlier than his original release date. Praise God, and pray for the family as they reunite.

Church Questionnaire is due next Sunday. Please get a copy from Lauren and bring it back completed next Sunday. Thank you.
