JESUS BUILDS HIS CHURCH
Good morning Church,
This Sunday will have a number of different emphases - a testimony of God revealing the spiritual reality, a presentation from the future development team and a time of communion that is focused on the significance of being drawn together to the Lord’s table.
In preparation for the morning service please read Philippians 1:27 - 2:11 and ask the following questions:
What is important to God?
What is the attitude of Jesus that we are to exhibit?
