1367 Illinois Route 140 | Greenville, IL 62246 | (618)664-2584 | www.greenvillefmc.org The last couple weeks Pastor Carl has been talking about ‘blind spots’ in our lives and particularly the blind spot of PRIDE. This week we will look at three ‘road blocks’ that had the potential for keeping the Israelites out of the land that the Lord had promised --- and we will see if those road blocks still exist in our lives today.

If you are our guest today, please stop by one of the Welcome Centers before you leave to get more information and a gift.If you have children, we provide very safe surroundings andwonderful activities. See more information inside this folder.

Please fill out a Communication Card when it is distributedand place it in the basket on your way out. Don’t hesitate tojot down a prayer request. Again, welcome, as we worshipGod for who He is and listen to what He says.
