            Do you realize that Christmas is less than four months away?  We know for a fact, we are now in September, there are only two weeks left of summer, and autumn is waiting in the wings.  Time does seem to fly!

 

            Bro. Tim's message was entitled "Storm Preparation."  He pointed out the fact that, while we in this area have been so blessed with rain from Hurricane Isaac, others have suffered vastly with flooding from the same storm system.  Many people were not prepared for the storm.  As Christians, we need a plan to help us through stormy events in our lives.  Our plan should include walking with God, as many in the Old Testament history did.  We need to study God's Word (the Bible), to pray, and to put in practice our faith, not just talk it.  These are resources that will help us through our own stormy times in life.

 

            Our Care and Share time continues on Sundays at 6:00 PM.  This past Sunday evening, we viewed a video called "A Thousand Years in a Day."  2 Peter 3:8 tells us "With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day."  This video explained amazing similarity between the eruption of Mt. St. Helens in 1980, and the Biblical account of the great flood, told in the book of Genesis.  God has the ability of using catastrophic action to do the work of thousands of years in just one day.  It is a video that everyone should watch.

 

            The Bible challenge question is:  "How were Barnabas and John Mark related?"  (Col. 4:10)

                                                    

            The Golden Valley Christian Church meets at 611 South Third Street in Clinton.  Our Sunday Bible classes begin at 9:30 AM, morning worship is at 10:30 AM, and evening study is at 6:00 PM.  Our full-time minister is Bro. Tim Randall (office phone # 660-890-0252), and our website is www.goldenvalleycc.org.  We are happy to invite you to attend our services, where you will always receive a warm welcome.
