Abraham and Abimelech (Genesis 20)

Now Abraham moved on from there into the region of the Negev and lived

between Kadesh and Shur. For a while he stayed in Gerar, and there Abraham

said of his wife Sarah, “She is my sister.” Then Abimelech king of Gerar sent

for Sarah and took her. But GOD came to Abimelech in a dream one night and

said to him, “Indeed you are a dead man because of the woman whom you have

taken, for she is a man’s wife.

Now Abimelech had not gone near her, so he said, “Lord, will you destroy an

innocent nation? Did he (Abraham) not say to me, ‘She is my sister,’ and didn’t

she (Sarah) also say, ‘He is my brother’? I have done this with a clear

conscience and clean hands.” Then GOD said to him in the dream, “Yes, I know

you did this with a clear conscience, and so I have kept you from sinning

against Me.” That is why I did not let you touch her.”

+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +

When you throw a baby in the air, she laughs

because she knows you will hold her…

…and that is TRUST

WORRY

“Who of you by worrying can add a

single hour to his life?"

Matthew 6:27

TRUST

"Do not let your

hearts be troubled.

Trust in GOD;

trust also in ME."

John 14:1-3

Church Diary – New Church Software

Our Church is growing and it has become a present day requirement to switch over to

a computerized system to maintain the Member Records and Church Accounts.

requirements of our Church.

Reports that can be generated from system;

1. Member information Report

2. Birthday and Wedding Anniversary List

3. Subscription & Confession List

4. Budget Report

5. Receipts / Payments (Per Account head, per member, selected period)
