Prayer Requests

• Keep Doug in your prayers. His 90-year-old mother is in critical condition. Nancy is taking him to the Tulsa airport for a flight to Montana later today.
• Continue to pray for Brent's mother Charlotte.
• Art's dad moved to a nursing home, which seemed to cause him to lose coherency. Keep him in your prayers.
• Amy asks for God's guidance through changes in her household.

Real Life

We welcome guest speaker Gordon Maracle to class today. Gordon spoke on Ephesians 2, particularly verse 10. We are God's workmanship.

Before we came to Christ, we were dead in sins...but God...

This is what the Scriptures say. If not for God, we still would be dead in sin. The "but God" part is what separates what we once were from what we are now. It's all God's doing.

While you were dead in sin, you probably thought you were living. But what was that like compared to the life you now live? Now you know what real life is like.

Announcements

Don't forget the float trip on June 6!

Bring your own lunch, drinks, and snacks. Keep your things in a plastic garbage bag or other waterproof item to help them stay dry.

Be sure to take care of your own trash while on the river and during any stops.

We will caravan to the river from church, if you don't know how to get there.

Doug's Testimonies

We're so happy to have Doug back from Pakistan. He shared many wonderful testimonies with us.

There is a dynamite, born-again, Pentecostal body of believers there. Many came from a Christian "tradition," meaning their parents, and their parents' parents, etc., were Christian. These people are on the bottom of the pecking order in Pakistan. They like to work with Americans, and one of them was Doug's driver, Philip. The believers face persecution but they praise God.

Doug had the opportunity to share Christ with some of the locals, and also with an American atheist who was working with him.
