BIG IDEA:  The Christian embraces work instead of denigrates it.

 

I.                     Work is part of God’s ____________ for humankind.

Genesis 2:15

2 Thessalonians 3:7-10

 

 

 

 

II.                   We work for God, not ____________ or _____________.

Ephesians 6:6-9

Titus 2:9-10

 

 

Benediction


Announcements …

 

CHILDREN’S CHURCH: We are in need of two teachers for elementary children’s church.  Our preference is that individuals/couples would commit to serving 1 Sunday a month on an on-going basis; however, until that time we are asking for individuals to commit one Sunday morning for this fall to teach the children - instruction and easy to follow curriculum is provided.  There is a sign-up sheet on the small round table in the foyer or you may contact the church office via email @ abchurch@alaska.net or by phone @ 562-3238. In addition to considering serving in this one-time capacity, we ask that you commit to pray for children’s ministry during this transition period.
