Announcements—June 4, 2017

Haiti Missions Trip, June 10-18: By the grace of God, ten people from Glory of Christ will be traveling to Haiti from June 10-18 with Adventures in Missions to aid with their on-going efforts there. The team will be led by Pastor Kevin and Kim Handren, and the rest of the team will be made up of GCF youth. Please pray for the team as they finish final preparations, and be sure to note the trip dates so that you can pray while they're gone.

Honoring our Fathers, June 18: Plan to join us on June 18 as we honor our fathers with a brief devotional, a time of prayer, and our traditional offering of beef jerky! We rejoice in the fathers the Lord has given to us, and where they have failed us and hurt us, we look to our heavenly Father who is the only perfect Father we will ever have. We encourage you to pray in advance and find creative ways to honor your fathers on this special day.

Gospel of John Outreach Meeting, June 24: Please join us at the church office on June 24 from 9:00-11:00 a.m. as we prayerfully discuss the ways that the Lord would have us give out Gospels of John in our community. We will also consider taking up the challenge to mobilize other churches to distribute 10,000 Gospels of John per year. Light snacks and drinks will be provided. Contact Pastor Charlie for further information.

Baptism Service and Picnic Sunday, June 25: Everyone is invited to attend a church picnic and baptism service at the Mark and Jill Larson's home in Zimmerman. Bring meat to grill and a side dish to share. You may also want to bring a lawn chair. Boating and swimming (possibly water tubing) will also be available. Please come out and support this year's baptism candidates. We will provide directions to the Larson's home at church on Sunday, June 25.

Wednesday Morning Prayer Meeting: Anyone who would like to join in corporate prayer may do so. The prayer time is from 6:00 a.m. to 7:00 a.m. at the church office.
Next Week’s Fighter Verse

"I have learned in whatever situation I am to be content. I know how to be brought low, and I know how to abound. In any and every circumstance, I have learned the secret of facing plenty and hunger, abundance and need. I can do all things through 
him who strengthens me."
Philippians 4:11-13

To Have My Soul Happy in the Lord, by George Muller

To Have My Soul Happy in the Lord By George Muller “It has pleased the Lord to teach me a truth, the benefit of which I have not lost for more than fourteen years. The point is this: I saw more clearly than ever that the first great and primary business to which I ought to attend every day was to have my soul happy in the Lord. The first thing to be concerned about was not how much I might serve the Lord, or how I might glorify the Lord, but how I might get my soul into a happy state, and how my inner man might be nourished. “I saw that the most important thing I had to do was to give myself to the reading of the Word of God—not prayer, but the Word of God. And here again, not the simple reading of the Word of God so that it only passes through my mind just as water runs through a pipe, but considering what I read, pondering over it, and applying it to my heart. To meditate on it, that thus my heart might be comforted, encouraged, warned, reproved, instructed. And that thus,...

Billy Graham, Holiness, and Leadership

A few years ago, I was listening to a radio program on which Marshall Shelley was being interviewed about his new book, The Leadership Secrets of Billy Graham (Zondervan, 2005). They were giving away a few copies of the book to those who called in, and something inside me felt compelled to call. But I didn’t have a good question to ask, so I prayed to the Lord and said, “If you want me to have a copy of this book, please give me a good question to ask and I’ll call.” I’m not sure if the Lord gave me this question or if it just popped into my head, but one way or the other, I thought to ask about the connection in Billy’s life between his private pursuit of holiness and integrity, and his public effectiveness and longevity. So, I made the call and was given the last copy of the book they had to give. A couple of years earlier, I had breakfast with some friends and the subject of Billy Graham’s life and ministry came up. We talked mostly about his commitment to integrity in the area...

Catechisms: Building a Heritage of Sound Faith - By Pastor Kevin Feder

This is an article I (Pastor Kevin) wrote in 2005 and updated in 2017. It is featured in a new resource available through Children’s Desiring God called Discipleship through Doctrinal Teaching and Catechism by Sally Michael.  It is our desire to encourage parents to use a children’s catechism as a tool in building and strengthening faith in children. A simple definition of a catechism is “organized teaching.” Catechisms are not the only things that can or should be used to instruct the next generation, yet they have useful purposes. Listed here are ten specific benefits a catechism can uniquely offer. Hopefully these ten points will help parents understand how a catechism can be effectively used in their families. 1.  A catechism is a very clear and complete gospel message. A catechism is, among other things, a very clear and concise gospel message to children. Everything a child needs to know for salvation is embodied within a catechism. The gospel is truly ama...
