THE RING OF HOPE

Dr. Thomas Dooley was a missionary doctor who spent his life in service to the people of Southeast Asia before dying of cancer at an early age. He once wrote of a time when things were going very badly for his mission, and he was discouraged. He said, "Every time I get discouraged and down in the dumps someone comes along and rings the rusty bells of hope, and I have encouragement to get back at it again." Don't lose hope in your life. Friends, the good news of the gospel, and the grace of our Lord can "ring the rusty bells of hope" in your life!

 

 

WE ALL ARE CALLED TO SERVE CHRIST…

WE MUST FIND OUR PLACE OF SERVICE

 IT MATTERS NOT WHERE IT MAY LEAD OR

  WHAT WE ARE ASKED TO DO!!!!

 

 

 

MAY THE JOY OF THE LORD BE YOURS ALL WEEK LONG!!!

 

GOD BLESS YOU!!

 

SEE YOU SUNDAY!!!
