No Sunday School today. Praise Psalm 84: 1 – 9 Hymn 701 Psalm 95: 1 - 6 Reading – Revelation 3: 14-22(NIV) To the Church in Laodicea 14 “To the angel of the church in Laodicea write:These are the words of the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the ruler of God’s creation. 15 I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were either one or the other! 16 So, because you are lukewarm—neither hot nor cold—I am about to spit you out of my mouth. 17 You say, ‘I am rich; I have acquired wealth and do not need a thing.’ But you do not realize that you are wretched, pitiful, poor, blind and naked. 18 I counsel you to buy from me gold refined in the fire, so you can become rich; and white clothes to wear, so you can cover your shameful nakedness; and salve to put on your eyes, so you can see. 19 Those whom I love I rebuke and discipline. So be earnest and repent. 20 Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with that person, and they with me. 21 To the one who is victorious, I will give the right to sit with me on my throne, just as I was victorious and sat down with my Father on his throne. 22 Whoever has ears, let them hear what the Spirit says to the churches.” Tea/coffee will be served after the morning service to which everyone is warmly invited 6pm Service (Church Hall) – Mr Donnie MacDonald The Week Ahead Tues 23rd October 7.30pm - Everyone welcome to come and hear our prayer partners David and Rebecca Morton reporting on their final season in Nkhoma Hospital, Malawi.
