Psalm 1:1-3; John 4:10-14; Ephesians 5:25, 26; John 1:1; Psalm 36:9; John 7:37, 38; Isaiah 52:7; Romans 10:9-15; Psalm 117; Matthew 5:15, 16; Ephesians 1:5-7

1. God’s Word… should become our PRIMARY source for life!
2. God’s Word… needs to be PROCLAIMED (preach) beyond the pulpit!
3. God’s Word… invokes PRAISE from our hearts to give us strength!

STICKY STATEMENT
God’s Word, the Bible, is our PRIMARY source for life! The “Good News” of the Bible needs to be PROCLAIMED from our lives! Our life with God needs to bring about PRAISE in our hearts, and we as the church need to respond!

From today’s sermon and worship experience...
What am I learning about God?
What am I learning about myself/others?
How can I apply the truth of God’s Word to my life?

Generosity / “Thank You” Dear Friends, I am a new patient at the Ann Barshinger Cancer Institute. I was very touched to receive the backpack with goodies given to me by my nurse that was made by your church. It was filled with all kinds of goodies that are so needed to help us while going though chemo. Please thank everyone for me for this generous gift. I also got a nice note from Donna C. Thank you to all of you for your thoughtfulness to us as we begin an unexpected journey in our lives. Blessings, Pam S. Dear Friends, Thank you for the care package I received on my first day of chemo. What a blessing it was on a day that can be highly stressful. It made my husband and I feel extra special. Thank you for this mission work. God Bless, The Melsons Dear parishioners, A note to thank you for the gift backpack filled with all needed essentials. I am a newly diagnosed cancer patient at the center. Thank you again and I also believe in our Lord and support your mission. Loretta R. Dear members, Thank you so much for your beautiful “welcome gift package” given to me during my first infusion treatment at the cancer center. What a very thoughtful gift, which filled me with happiness as I enjoyed looking at each time while spending time having meds. Again, the wonderful items, plus the scripture and prayer messages tucked inside gave me much comfort and continue to do so. With love and blessings, Pat P.
