An Adjustment Labor Day is past. For many, many people the passing of the Labor Day holiday means an adjustment in their lives. With the children back in school, with fall weather coming, the camping season pretty well over, etc. our lives have a tendency to fall into different patterns. At church we recognize this with our new fall youth program", a return to one worship service, choir beginning and many other adjustments. However, with all these things happening around us we realize that some things dare not change. We must preach the Word, in season and out of season. We must be ready at any time to give a reason for the faith that lies within us. And we must always be prepared to meet the creator. Where do you stand today in your relationship with God? Are you ready if the Lord Jesus Christ should return yet this year? The Bible says that NOW is the day of salvation. We Urge you to be ready to meet your God. Wild West Round-up Wednesday, Sept. 6
