Golden Valley Christian Church



    In 1993, Crystal Guerrero, a six-week-old baby girl, was kidnapped when her mother took her to a health center in Chicago for a six-week check-up.  The kidnapper, Hortense Hernandez, told her family she had just given birth.  Mrs. Hernandez' husband had seen pictures of the kidnapped girl in the newspaper and realized it was the same child.  He told his wife to return the child, or he would call the police.  Instead, the kidnapper left the child in one of the Chicago churches, where she was found.  The Guerrero family was elated and relieved to have their child back.  Do you suppose God feels like the Guerrero family when one of His children stray and return? (Luke 15:11-32)


    God gave us a beautiful, sunny day for worship, fellowship, and a delicious pot luck meal.  Thanks to all of those who help with these activities.  We also give thanks to Georgia Randall and Rosanna Cross for filling in for our regular song leader and pianist, Ken and Marla Jones.  The Wednesday night video study, The Truth Project, has resumed for another six weeks.  We invite all to this study.  The prayer list continues to grow.  Please keep all of these people in your prayers.


    Scripture from Job 23:2 was the basis for Bro Tim's message, "Divine Imprint."  Glory needs to be given to God for establishing order in all of his creations.  He established a  social order for mankind, along with relationships, not only between people, but between people and God.  God has set things in order, that we may have unity.  He calls us to work with Him to achieve this.


    The Bible challenge question:  In what part of creation did God say, "It is not good . . "? (Gen 2:18)
