Thought to Ponder

 Most people are concerned about rights. They feel they must protect their rights even if it means infringing on someone else’s. But there are two things no one has a right to expect: mercy and grace. Mercy is compassion shown to an undeserving person. If you don’t deserve compassion and receive it anyway, you are receiving mercy. Grace, on the other hand is unmerited favor and assistance. If you receive a gift or a favor without earning it or deserving it, you are receiving grace. God’s love overflows in both visible and invisible expressions of grace and mercy. If you think you deserve either or both, you have yet to get a complete picture of yourself.

Opportunities to Grow, Serve & Share

Bev Dinger invites you to view the Bible Study “To Live is Christ” by Beth Moore. This is a study of the life and ministry of Paul. The study begins on Wednesday, August 1^st at 7pm. The address is
