Happy Sabbath and welcome to the house of Prayer for all peoples. Welcome to our visiting friends, who are our special guests, and welcome to the faithful members. Thank you for choosing to worship with us today.

Thought: Psalm 146: 1-3 Praise ye the Lord, Praise the Lord, O my soul. While I live will I praise the Lord, o my soul. While I live will I praise the Lord: I will sing praises unto my God while I have any being. Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help.

The North Bahamas Conference would like to wish each mother a Happy Mother’s Day. God uses women specifically to be nurturers and mentors. So, blessings to all of you who made the sacrificial effort to pour love, time and finances into the life of another human being. May God continue to bless you abundantly.

IMAGES OF MOTHER

04 years of age - My Mommy can do anything.

08 years of age - My Mom knows a lot! A whole lot!

12 years of age - My Mother doesn't really know quite everything.

14 years of age - Naturally, Mother doesn't know that, either!

16 years of age - Mother? She's hopelessly old-fashioned!

18 years of age - That old woman? She's way out of date!

25 years of age - Well, she might know a little bit about it!

35 years of age - Before we decide, let's get Mom's opinion.

45 years of age - Wonder what Mom would have thought about it!

65 years of age - Wish I could talk it over with Mom!

Thought For The Week

Christ is pleased with His followers when they show that, though human, they are partakers of the divine nature. They are not statutes, but living men and women. Their hearts, refreshed by the dews of divine grace, open and expand to the Sun of righteousness. The light that shines upon them they reflect upon others in works that are luminous with the love of Christ. Step to Christ, p. 7

Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path. Psalm 119:105

WordsFromInspiration

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).
