“Is any one of you in trouble? He should pray. Is anyone happy? Let him sing songs of praise. Is any one of you sick? He should call for the elders of the church to pray over him and anoint him with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise him up. If he has sinned,

he will be forgiven.” James 5: 13-15

CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR GRADUATES Sunday, June 10, 2017 – During 11:00AM Service

BRIGHTER DAY DISCIPLESHIP MINISTRY

INVITES YOU TO PARTICIPATE IN OUR

SUNDAY MORNING

BIBLE STUDY CLASS

Discipleship Ministry extends this Invitation to you to come out and join us as we

discover more of the Person and Knowledge of this Great and Powerful God who

loves us so much that He gave us His Only Son Jesus Christ to pay for our sins to

make us His people.

Jesus told us to learn of Him, and that comes through studying His Word. God has

placed in His Body Teachers, and these Teachers have made themselves available

to us on Sunday mornings at 9:30AM at the A.P. Shaw (East) Campus) to teach

these Adult Bible Classes.

The lessons taught from Sunday to Sunday have been so relevant. The Teachers

have explained how these lessons apply to life today. The many questions that

have been asked from the members have been answered with satisfactory

answers. We can never hear too much of God's Word, “for faith comes from

hearing -- and hearing the Word of God.”

We look forward to seeing you on Sunday morning! These are the Scriptures we

are studying during the month of July:

September 2, 2018 – “God Creates Heaven and Earth” – Genesis 1:1-13

September 9, 2018 – “God Creates Lights and Life” – Genesis 1:14-25

September 16, 2018 – “God Creates People” – Genesis 1:26-31; Genesis 2:4-7

September 23, 2018 – “God Creates the Family” – Genesis 2:18-24; Genesis 4:1-2

September 30, 2018 – “God Confronts Sin” – Genesis 3:8-17, 20-24
