SUNDAY'S ANTHEM TEXT

"Lay up your treasures in heaven, O people, lay up your treasures in glory where nothing in this world can take them away." O listen, people, hear the Master say. Your treasures in this world will fade away, but the things of the Lord will last forever more! Well, the Lord looked out and saw the people there, tied up in worry and burdened with care. He said, "Seek first the kingdom and you will see the things that will last for eternity! Some people trust in their silver and gold, they put their faith in the wealth they hold. But fortunes will fade and kingdoms fall, so put your trust in the Lord of all!

BECOMING DISCIPLES MAKING DISCIPLES

I am a creature of God, and he has an undoubted right to do with me as seemeth good in his sight. I rejoice that I am in his hand—that he is everywhere present and can protect me in one place as well as in another. - Ann Hasseltine Judson

HUMORESQUE

A pastor was talking to a group of young children about believing in Jesus and going to heaven. At the end of his talk, he asked, "Where do you want to go?" "Heaven!" they all piped up. "And what do you have to be to get there?" "Dead!", one boy yelled.
