THE KING AND HIS QUEEN -  A special two-part Bible study will be presented by District President, Rev. Scott Sailer, on Sunday, April 17, and Sunday, May 22, during the Sunday School and Bible Study hour.  It is about the special relationship our Lord (King Jesus!) has with us, the Church (His Queen!).   Oh, how He loves us and wants us to respond to His saving love by worshiping Him and serving others.   The discussion will include where the Pastor fits into the King’s plan for serving the Queen.  This study will help prepare our congregation for our relationship and service with a new pastor someday!
