2.4.26
Hello brothers and sisters,
This coming Sunday, my sermon in the morning service will be on 1 Peter 4:1-6, “Living Now for the Will of God,” and my sermon in the evening service will be on 2 Samuel 11, “David, Bathsheba, and Uriah.” The 10:00 am lesson will be the fourth in a series on Christian education and will be on the subject of math.
At our congregational meeting last Sunday, the budget was approved and David Duncan was elected as deacon (the session will now appoint a time for his installation).

Midweek Meeting
Our midweek meeting is held on Wednesdays at 7:00 pm at the Bringe home. Our current study is based on J. Gresham Machen’s book, The New Testament: An Introduction to Its Literature and History. This book is a survey of the New Testament and it is composed of short chapters that I read during our meeting, as well as study questions which we use for discussion. This evening we will read chapter 15: The Council at Jerusalem.
Covenant Youth Retreat
Covenant Reformed Church (OPC) in West Plains, MO is putting together what they hope will become the first annual youth retreat for the southern part of the Presbytery of the Midwest. Here is the information their pastor sent:
The retreat will include teaching sessions, prayer, group activities, and fellowship. We will end our time with worship on the Lord’s Day. The cost is $100/camper which includes lodging, food, and activities. Attached are some brochures to advertise the event. One can be used for digital purposes, while the other one is better for print. Please get the word out to your congregations.
There is a QR code that can be followed for signup, and here is the link as well: https://forms.gle/XeTksc4hPReZ2Ay88. We are limited on space, so campers will want to sign up quickly so there is time for us to be able to let the camp know. We will also need to know what parents will be attending to serve as chaperones as well.
