JESUS IS WORTHY OF THE CENTER SPOT
 
Is Jesus in the center of your life today?  Or do you need to take care of many other things before you can get to him?

In a Berlin art gallery there once hung an unfinished picture by Menzel of Frederick the Great talking to his generals.  There was a small bare patch in the center of the picture where a charcoal sketch indicated the artist’s intentions.  He had painted in all the generals, but he had left the king to the last.

That seems life-like to us, doesn’t it?  We carefully put in all the generals (work, family, house, car, etc.) and leave the King to the last, with the hope that someday we may still get the King in the center.  Menzel died before he could finish his picture.  You can get to heaven without house or family or riches, but you can’t get there without Jesus.

He is everything.  The One who died that I might live is worth center spot in my life and yours.  Everything else pales in comparison!

“I consider everything a loss compared to the surpassing greatness of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord.” 
Philippians 3:8



ANNOUNCEMENTS

Wednesday Morning Bible Study will begin this week, September 4, at 10:00AM, in the chapel, with a study of 2 Samuel.

Communion Schedule & Friendship Sunday  The calendar for September lists communion on the regular 2nd and 4th weekends.  

After further review, we’d like to make Friendship Sunday as visitor friendly as possible.  

Therefore, we’ll be observing communion on the 3rd and 5th weekend of September.  Please invite your unchurched friends to our special service and picnic on September 8. 

[GJ - We do not want them turned off by Holy Communion. They might think we believe in the Sacraments, the Real Presence, the Means of Grace, the efficacy of the Word.]

Kids' G.R.O.W. Staff Meeting - Monday, September 9 @ 6:30PM (Fellowship Hall)  All Kids' G.R.O.W. volunteers please attend as we want to discuss final details for 2013-2014.
