The only name you need to know

Oh how I love the name Jesus!! It is the sweetest name I know! This morning the mass choir moved us with songs of praise and Pastor Bridges preached on “There’s something about His name” (Isaiah 9:6). If we will call on Jesus and praise Him, even in the midst of our troubles, that is when we will truly soar. Spread your wings and soar with the eagles; don’t you settle for hanging out with buzzards!  It’s not too late to get a CD or DVD of the service, please contact Bro. Nathaniel Sarratt or one of the Audio/Video team members to get your copy today. If you don’t have a church home, we welcome you to join us next Sunday at 10am to see for yourself what God can do!
