“Thank you for your service!” Even when the “sheep” would not listen or behave, you prayed and worked hard to help us understand. We are grateful for your ministry in our lives.
Others worked hard for the Kingdom along with the leaders above; their wives, elders, youth leaders, church council members, treasurers, Sunday school teachers, Kids Kub leaders, children’s church teachers, custodians, secretaries, and many more. It takes a family, the family of God.
We thank and praise you God for the many that washed, folded and packed our “parachutes”. We pray that we might continue to be faithful. Guide us as we finish the race you have set before us.

Bible Trivia; ~
Fruit of Faith
What does it mean to live out your faith? Most foundationally, it means that you ought to honor and glorify God with your life since, as believers, Christ calls us to take up our crosses and follow him (Mark 8:34). Prayer, confession, and commitment to honor the Sabbath also demonstrate evidence of true faith. And, some have even lived out their faith to the greatest extreme, standing up for Christ and losing their lives for doing so.
When was the Sabbath first instituted, and by whom was it observed?
By God, after creation (Gen 2:2–3)
Who made the first confession to the Lord, as recorded in the Bible?
Jacob (Gen 32:9)
Who delivered Israel by killing 600 Philistines with an ox goad?
Shamgar (Judg 3:31)
Who was the first recorded person raised from death to life?
The son of Zarephath’s daughter (1 Kgs 17:21)
Who partook of a meal prepared by an angel, and was sustained forty days and nights while in the mountain?
Elijah (1 Kgs 19:8–9)
What is the whole duty of man, according to the Scriptures?
Fear God and keep his commandments (Eccl 12:13)
Which three men, in different periods, stood almost alone in their godliness, among a crooked and perverse generation?
Noah, Daniel, and Job (Ezek 14:14)
Who beheld a vision in the valley of dry bones?
Ezekiel (Ezek 37)
Who was compelled to bear the cross of Christ to the place of crucifixion?
Simon (Mark 15:21)
What woman continued in prayer day and night in the temple?
Anna (Luke 2:36)
Who was the first Christian martyr?
Stephen (Acts 7:58)

Bible Trivia; ~
Who God Is
The vastness of God is so great that it is impossible for us to fully grasp the depths of who he is. Though our Savior is currently preparing a place for us (John 14:2), he came down to earth in human form so that he could fulfill the requirements of the law and take the penalty for our sins. While on earth, he experienced human emotion and came face to face with the same challenges we do, yet without sin.
Quote the first and last words of our Savior while on earth?
“Why were you searching for me? Didn’t you know I had to be in my Father’s house?”; and, “It is finished” (Luke 2:49; John 19:30).
With whom did our Savior spend his last Sabbath?
Simon the leper (Matt 26:6)
Who is called the light of the world?
Jesus (John 8:12; 12:46)
What was the first miracle performed by Christ?
Water turned to wine (John 2:1)
