Summer is here, with nice weather, sports, vacations, barbeques.
We would like to remind you to keep your attendance at church regular (along with your stewardship).
A “vacation” is traditionally a rest from physical work, not spiritual growth.
S
piritual growth in an ongoing process twelve months of the year.

Here is a reminder from the psalmist:

 

Psalm 150

 

“Praise ye the Lord.  Praise God in His sanctuary:

  Praise Him in the firmament of His power.

 

Praise Him for His mighty acts:

Praise Him according to His excellent greatness.

 

Praise Him with the sound of the trumpet:

Praise Him with the psaltery and harp.

 

Praise Him with the timbrel and dance:

Praise Him with stringed instruments and organs.

 

Praise Him upon the loud cymbals:

Praise Him upon the high sounding cymbals.

 

Let everything that hath breath praise the Lord.

Praise ye the Lord.”

 

Praise Him in His sanctuary.  Praise him every Sunday.  Praise Him all summer and in every season.

Praise ye the Lord.
