Today!
Daniel Cain, Guest Speaker
The
Northeast Conference has lost two solid Christian believers as of last Sunday
(27th) – both of whom were members of our Dayton church while I was
pastoring from 1969 to 1976. I was able
to attend both services this week.
IONA CHILDS
(73 / Dayton Ohio) – wife of Ralph Childs who is very well known in our
churches around the country because of his concert and teaching tours in the
1970s. Services were last Friday.
BRUCE RUNYAN
(89 / Piqua Ohio) a faithful and devoted husband to his wife, Dorothy, and
loving father to his children and a humble servant of His Lord. Services were Thursday.
"Lord,"
Martha said to Jesus, "if you had been here, my brother would not have
died. But I know that even now God will
give you whatever you ask." Jesus said to her, "Your brother will
rise again." Martha answered, "I know he will rise again in the resurrection
at the last day." Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the
life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies; and whoever lives
[is alive at His return] and believes in me will never die. Do you believe
this?" "Yes, Lord," she told him, "I believe that you are
the Christ, the Son of God, who was to come into the world."
(John
11:21)
TODAY WE OBSERVE the
communion service. If you believe implicitly
in the Lord Jesus Christ as your Savior, have been immersed in the waters of
baptism, are earnestly looking forward to the return of Jesus to establish
God’s Kingdom upon this earth, and are seeking to live in accordance with the
gospel message so as to bring forth the fruit of the Spirit (love, joy, peace,
patience, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance – Gal. 5:22,23),
you are invited to partake of the communion emblems with us this morning.
PASTOR CAIN plans
to print a new church directory soon. Please provide him with address, phone #
or e-mail changes. It helps if the information
is on paper. Thanks.
VICKI
PHILLIS’ PET scan caused the doctors to want further diagnosis
so a procedure was done last Tuesday – waiting for results.

“Hi Rex –
Just wanted to send you a big thank you for your church bulletins we have
received over the years. You have so
many good messages in them and we hear about some of our other church families
in your prayer concerns. Now that we
have e-mail we’re enjoying receiving weekly newsletters also. Keep up the good work.

PASTOR DALE SWARTZ
came through his emergency appendectomy April 23rd
and is doing well. He pastors in
Litchfield MN.
A report on OneNewsNow.com reads: "First time visitors to
Creation Museum say they're impressed with the attention to detail and
God-honoring exhibits. The 60,000 square foot museum features animatronic
displays, a replica of a portion of Noah's Ark and a planetarium, all designed
to bring the Bible to life. Ohio resident Nancy Mary said the museum exceeded
her expectations. 'I like the way they wove the quotes from the Bible through
the exhibits. And the exhibits just illustrate what is stated so plainly in
Scripture. That's what really stood out to me,' she said. Michigan residents
Ray Ogden and his son Alex were also impressed. 'Mainly I think what was
impressive was the extreme focus on the Gospel message as the core meaning of
the whole operation and not just meant to wow you with special effects, but to
get across the message that the Bible is God's Word and there's a purpose for
existence.' 'It's probably the best place I've been to in my entire life,'
10-year-old Alex Ogden said... [Answers in Genesis] officials expect more than
250 thousand visitors annually to the Creation Museum."
