Weekly Update 2\25\20

​"O Lord, open my lips, and my mouth will declare your praise" (Psalm 51:15). May this be our prayer as we prepare for the Lord's Day tomorrow! This brief exhortation to praise follows closely on a lengthy section of confession and contrition from David over his sin with Bathsheba, and it reminds us as believers to approach the Lord with sorrow over sin even as we take joy in His wondrous salvation.

TOMORROW as we gather for THE LORD’S DAY. We have multiple points where you can plug in and engage with God's people:


  • Join us at 9:15 am in the sanctuary as we pray for the services of the day and all those involved.
  • Join a small group for Bible study at 9:30 am as all ages fellowship around God's word for understanding and application.
  • Join the entire congregation for worship at 10:40 am as we consider Colossians 3:1-4 in our ongoing study through this little letter of Paul.
  • Join us for vespers at 6 pm in the sanctuary. This service emphasizes corporate praise, intercessory prayer, and always includes a brief exposition of Scripture. We began walking through Hebrews just over one year ago, and tomorrow we will be finishing up chapter 4.


THIS WEEK
We receive our monthly birthday and anniversary offering for Missouri Baptist Children's Home and The Baptist Home (for the Aged) respectively tomorrow. These are agencies of the Missouri Baptist Convention (MBC), meaning their trustees are selected and approved by the Southern Baptist churches in our state who are in friendly cooperation with the MBC through messengers sent to our state annual meeting. If you are not familiar with these agencies, take a few moments to follow the links above and learn about them. Bonus link: Here is the latest issue of the MBCH Messenger, their quarterly newsletter.


Parents' Club resumes at 5:30 pm this Wednesday, Feb. 26. The curriculum will be "Raising Kingdom Kids" with Tony Evans. Contact Peggy Harwood for more details.

Disaster Relief Training is coming up in two locations very close to us.

BONUS: "He will Hold Me Fast" a song introduced last Sunday, will be a part of our worship service again this week. Take a listen to it here in a live rendition from the Together for the Gospel conference, 2010, with Bob Kauflin leading and playing piano. Lyrics are printed here for your convenience.
VERSE 1 When I fear my faith will fail, Christ will hold me fast; When the tempter would prevail, He will hold me fast. I could never keep my hold Through life’s fearful path; For my love is often cold; He must hold me fast. REFRAIN He will hold me fast, He will hold me fast; For my Savior loves me so, He will hold me fast. VERSE 2 Those He saves are His delight, Christ will hold me fast; Precious in His holy sight, He will hold me fast. He’ll not let my soul be lost; His promises shall last; Bought by Him at such a cost, He will hold me fast. VERSE 3 For my life He bled and died, Christ will hold me fast; Justice has been satisfied; He will hold me fast. Raised with Him to endless life, He will hold me fast ‘Till our faith is turned to sight When He comes at last! CREDITS Words: vv. 1-2 Ada Habershon (1861-1918), Public Domain.
