Do Not Disturb

After a worship service at First Baptist Church in Newcastle, Kentucky, a mother with a fidgety seven-year-old boy told me how she finally got her son to sit still and be quiet.

About halfway through the sermon, she leaned over and whispered, "If you don't be quiet, Pastor Charlton is going to lose his place and will have to start his sermon all over again!"

It worked.

- Pastor Dave Charlton

I HOPE YOU WILL FACE THE WEEK AHEAD KNOWING YOU ARE SALT AND LIGHT TO A WORLD THAT NEEDS SEASONING AND DIRECTION!!!!

GOD BLESS YOU!!!

SEE YOU SUNDAY!!
