Update

Greetings, everyone! Our deacons met this morning in regular session to pray, consider the ministry needs of the congregation, and plan for future ministry needs in the congregation and community. I am so happy to be serving the Lord with these men, and trust that our hearts beat as one in terms of the mission Christ has given us to make disciples who make disciples. You can be thankful for these men who are seeking to be an example to the flock of godliness and Christian zeal.

TODAY the MACH IV Men's Ministry is meeting at 6 pm at Fairport Baptist for a meal and fellowship. We will also talk about some more specifics related to our community-wide revival services with M.R.

BONUS: Allow me to share a resource for your use in memorizing Fighter Verses, and that is the Fighter Verse App for Android and the Fighter Verse App for Apple. Download these apps to your favorite device and you will have instant access to sermons, songs, commentary and a host of other resources on our current Fighter Verse. One great help is the fill-in-the-blank quiz which aids memorization by gradually eliminating word from the verses until you have the whole thing memorized. I encourage you to take advantage of all the resources available to assist you in hiding God's Word in your heart. One of those resources is The Verses Project. Here is the link to the upcoming Fighter Verses, Colossians 3:1-3.



See you in church!


Grace and peace,


Pastor Greg Dixon
