Teen Rally
About 50 young people from 12 congregations (from Alabama,
Georgia and Tennessee), along with about 20 adults heard some
great lessons on dating and marriage by Glenn and Cindy Colley.
Thanks to the 40 people or so who worked to make this day a
success. CD’s of Glenn’s lessons are available. We look forward
to next year’s rally.
Schoolbooks for Guyana
Thanks to Kerry Gott for obtaining dozens of used
schoolbooks from Gaston High and bringing them to the building.
This week Southside High will be donating books and we will be
going to pick them up Friday at 2:00 p.m. If you can help us,
see Kerry. These books will be sent to the school children in
Guyana.

How Do You Spell C-r-o-s-s?
“See”
-Look at Calvary. Don’t turn away. I know it’s not easy. What is done to
Him is shameful. I know. But look closely! Past the spittle. Beyond the
blood. There. In His eyes. Friend, that is love. It is love for you! See
the nails in His hands and feet, fastening Him to a tree He created for
man’s use. Look at the love He has for you!
“Are”
-Are you able to see that He bled and died for you? Are you willing to
admit that you are lost without Him? Are you ready to submit to His
will, to obey Him, and to live for Him? Are you prepared for eternity?
Are you convinced?
“Oh”
-Hear His cries of pain and agony. The death of a thousand deaths.
Bitter moans of His disciples. The gasp of heaven’s angels. The sorrow
of a Father for His only begotten Son! The gasps and exclamations of a
hateful mob.
“SS”
-That’s the hiss of the beguiling serpent. The one who is bruising the
heel of the perfect One (Genesis 3:15), putting God the Son in the tomb.
This is the moment of his triumph. Though resurrection will soon bring
the ultimate victory for Christ and hope for man, at the cross of
Calvary the devil must be enjoying his front row seat. Doesn’t he anger
you? Disgust you? Motivate you? Live for Jesus. Don’t live for the
snake!
Friends, the cross spells the difference between heaven and hell, hope
and helplessness, joy and sorrow, day and night! The cross spells life!
-author unknown
“And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross…”
–Ephesians 1:16

God’s Word
1 Sam 5:1-5 NKJV
5:1 Then the Philistines took the ark of God and brought it from
Ebenezer to Ashdod.
2 When the Philistines took the ark of God, they brought it into the
temple of Dagon and set it by Dagon.
3 And when the people of Ashdod arose early in the morning, there was
Dagon, fallen on its face to the earth before the ark of the LORD. So
they took Dagon and set it in its place again.
4 And when they arose early the next morning, there was Dagon, fallen on
its face to the ground before the ark of the LORD. The head of Dagon and
both the palms of its hands were broken off on the threshold; only the
torso of Dagon was left of it.
5 Therefore neither the priests of Dagon nor any who come into Dagon's
house tread on the threshold of Dagon in Ashdod to this day.
