Cold, snow and ice didn’t keep us from gathering for worship. We opened with the song The Solid Rock accompanied by our organist Phyllis Richardson. Pastor Mark Abney delivered the message “Patches and Wine Skins” from Matthew 9:16-17. Jesus was telling the people you can’t have the old and the new. In what ways does following Jesus require you to change? You walk in a way that will point others to Christ. God in you makes you different. If you’ve been saved the true test is you want to do things for Jesus.
Prayer concerns this week include Pat Kampe, Jim Bilbruck, Pam Townsend, Jerry Reiners, Darrell Shriner and Malachi Yoder. It is reassuring to know our God hears and answers prayers.
