I WILL GO TO GODS VILLAGE

A missionary visited A Pygmy village in Africa. The missionary recognized a man to whom he had previously given the gospel. Have you received Gods Word into your heart? asked the missionary. Yes I have, and my people too, have received it. Every night we meet for prayer. We sing our songs, Jesus Loves Me and What Can wash Away My Sins? Then we ask God to protect us through the night! Thats fine, the missionary said, then asked, If you should suddenly die, would you go to heaven? The Pygmy stood at attention. He saluted smartly and replied, When I die, I will go to Gods village. I will salute Him and say, Greetings, God, I am come to my house in Your village! When God ask me what right I have to enter, I will tell Him that His Son, Jesus Christ, died for me and washed my heart clean in His Blood. Then He will say to me, Enter, your house is waiting for you! (Copied)

______________

In Hungry Hungry Hippo, the guy who ends up with the most marbles wins. In real life, it doesnt work that way. Today, your child will learn that greed and gluttony get in the way of our relationship with God, and when we are greedy, we do not share with others like God intended. We need to remember that everything we have comes from God. We need to keep God first and think of others so that we can bless others with the blessings we have been given. Thank you for supporting the Russellville Church of God Childrens Ministry! ___________ HEAVENS GATES THE ULTIMATE SACRIFICE In the 5 performances of Heavens Gates - The Ultimate Sacrifice, we had 46 people that filled out cards saying they either gave their life to Christ or rededicated their life to Him and there were many that did not fill out a card. We praise God for these great results. The next performance of Heavens rd Gates will be August 3 at 7:00 p.m. and August th d 4 at 6:00 p.m. Please tell your family, friends and neighbors and ask them to make plans to attend. ________________ God makes a promise. Faith believes it. Hope anticipates it. Patience awaits it. _________________

Where are you going? asked an unbeliever of a boy. Im going to Sunday school, replied the boy cheerily. Why are you going to Sunday school? To learn about God, said the boy. How do you know there is a God? questioned the unbeliever. Why, Sir, my Sunday school teacher knows Him! Do you so present God to others that they know that He is a living reality to you?

Pastor Jonathons Word of The Week

GET ON WITH THE OPERATION A Scottish soldier was badly wounded. A Christian surgeon said to him, I must operate right away. I think I ought to tell you that you have one chance in a hundred to come through the operation. Have you anything to say? The brave lad said, No doctor, get on with the operation! All is well with my soul. Whichever side I come out on, there will be a welcome for me. If I come through the operation, Mother will welcome me. If I dont, Jesus will welcome me! Do you have this confidence?
