Our services so far have been well
attended during the summer days.
The congregations at mid-week pra-
yer meetings are splendid and both
services on Sunday are encouraging
and inspirational. This is like it
should be. Let’s keep it up during
all the summer. So often we waste
our summer days of worship on our
own selfish entertainments and
pleasure seeking.
The subjects we have for next
Sunday should be interesting to
every one. You will help and en-
courage the pastor if you will come
and take your place in the services.
May the Lord help us to be faithful.
