The title of Pastor Lee’s sermon for the week of August 5, 2012 is “Construction Site: Peace and Unity”, based on scriptures from Psalms 51:1-12 and Ephesians 4:1-16. The hymns for Sunday are “O God of Every Nation,” “I’ve Got Peace Like a River” and “Let There be Peace on Earth.”

Michael Wilbanks, a member of our church who attends Missouri State University, spent some time this past summer in Africa on a missionary trip, along with other students. On August 12, 2012 at 5:30 PM, we will have a carry-in dinner at the church. Michael Wilbanks will speak and show pictures of his experiences on the mission trip. This is a great way to hear how our youth is helping to spread the gospel of Jesus Christ throughout the world.
