Clarification
If you turn to the Yellow Pages in your new phone book and look at
the listing for the East Gadsden Church of Christ, you will notice a
glaring error. I asked the phone company to list me as “Preacher”,
but they erroneously listed me as “Pastor”. I am very sorry for this
mistake. – Tom

God’s Word
Psalm 111:1-6 NKJV
I will praise the LORD with my whole heart,
In the assembly of the upright and in the congregation.
2 The works of the LORD are great,
Studied by all who have pleasure in them.
3 His work is honorable and glorious,
And His righteousness endures forever.
4 He has made His wonderful works to be remembered; The LORD is
gracious and full of compassion.
5 He has given food to those who fear Him;
He will ever be mindful of His covenant.
6 He has declared to His people the power of His works, In giving
them the heritage of the nations.
Thank You

In Christian Love,

Live and Learn and Pass It On
I’ve learned that a kindness given to one person is contagious and
will be passed along.
