And when he had given thanks he brake it and said, “Take eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me”. Afer the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, “This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me”. For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord’s death till he come. I Corinthians 11:24-26.
Immediately follow the regular worship service, we will gather together in person, conference call and Zoom to partake of the Lord’s Supper for the fifth time this year commemorating Christ death, burial and resurrection from the dead.

Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that feareth the Lord, she shall be praised. Proverbs 31:30.
The Pre-Mother’s Day Luncheon was a blessing from the Lord. The women came out in great numbers to fellowship with one another and to receive a word from the Lord. The food was good, the fellowship was good, the spoken word was good, and the overall luncheon was a blessing. Our women received love gifts and some encouraging words from the heart.
Church, let us pray for and thank God for giving unto us mothers whom He uses to fulfill His purpose in them. Thank you goes out to Sis. Denise Montgomery for her spiritual leadership with this annual endeavor. Also, to all the women who worked alongside helping in whatever way they could to express their love to our mothers.
