Please Remember to:
Pray for personal transformation. Pray for your family. Pray for your church. Pray for your country and your government. Pray for the Lord to equip and use you in evangelism and soul conservation. Pray to be an example of and an Ambassador for our Lord Jesus Christ.
Sympathies go out to Bro Benjamin Sands and family on the passing of his brother; to Sis Mavis Allen on the passing of her sister.
If you or someone that you know would like to be baptized, please inform your Pastor or one of the Elders as we plan for monthly baptisms. For those who have not received a baptismal certificate, please contact the church clerk.
Next Sabbath we celebrate with the Mothers as the world recognizes the role and contributions of mothers.
You are encouraged to read the Bible thru and be faithful to God. Return a faithful tithe and freewill offering and watch God bless you more than you can receive.
The Summer is right around the corner. Our overseas students have begun to return home. We want them to be active while they are away from formal learning.

Thought For The Week
God cannot fill you with Himself when you are full with yourself.
Anyone can find the dirt in someone. Be the one who finds the gold.
Proverbs 11:27
May our God bless you today. May you hear His voice and follow His footsteps. Be comforted by His care and live in His grace.

After a week of prayer at Grand Bahama Academy with Youth Director Pastor Peter Watson, two precious souls were baptized. Tenth grader Destiny Rolle and eleventh grader Sierra Lightbourne were confident that they wanted to begin their relationship with Jesus. Many others are preparing for baptism. To God be the Glory!

The Gospel to the Poor—Christ came to preach the gospel to the poor. He reached the people where they were. He brought plain, simple truth to their comprehension. How simple His language! Even the poorest, the unlearned and ignorant, could understand Him. Not one needed go to a dictionary to obtain the meaning of the high-sounding titles or words that fell from the lips of the greatest Teacher the world ever knew. While the priests, the rulers, and the expounders of the law were considering themselves as the only teachers of the people, He told these learned rabbis that they were both ignorant of the Scriptures and of the power of God (The Review and Herald, July 19, 1887).
