the second year of the Advance
and the theme for the year is the
Church. There are somethings we
can do. Let us all makes resolve
to be loyal to the services of the
church during the year. Regular
attendance at the SS with the aim
of keeping our attendance over
the JOO mark and going beyond
that if possible. Inviting others
to attend.
A second thing we can do is to
have as a goal all attending the
SS to attend also the morning
service of worship. Attendance at
SS is not enough. In the church
school we are learners; in the
morning worship service we come
to worship God who is our Fath-
er. Let us make the morning ser-
vice the high point of our Sun-
day. Let us also be loyal to the
evening service. The mid-week
service is the Poor Plant of the
Church. Let this year be a great
one in our Church!
