Golden Valley Christian Church

            There is nothing any more refreshing than rain after a long drought.  We all rejoice to see the fields restored, so cattle can graze again.  We rejoice over the dead lawns returning to their beautiful green color, even if it does require mowing.  We know mankind can live for a longer period of time without food, but survive only a short time without water.  However, in the beginning God did not send rain, instead giving the earth streams that watered the landscape (Gen 2:5-6).  Our awesome God knows our every need and provides for all of us.

            The Golden Valley Christian Church will begin home Bible studies entitled "Parables of Jesus," starting the week of October 7th.  This will involve six parables Jesus gave.  We encourage all to sign up for these informative studies.

            Bro. Tim's message was entitled "Taking Up Your Cross."  What does it mean to "take up your cross?"  It has to be (1) a voluntary act, (2) an act of love, and (3) hard to do.  Substituting cross-bearer instead of "love" in the thirteenth chapter of First Corinthians are some things in "taking up your cross" should be.  The only thing that will last is the cross we have carried for Jesus.

            The Bible challenge question is:  "Who was the widow David married?"  (I Sam 25:39-42)

            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.

            Thought for the week:  "Read carefully anything you sign.  Remember, the big print giveth and the small print taketh away."  -- Copied
