WELCOME | JANUARY 7, 2018

The new year has officially begun and what

a blessing to start it off right by being

in church. The Bible tells us the Lord is

to have preeminence in all things; that

means He is to come first. Among the

many ways we can make the Lord our first

priority is to give Him our heart by giving Him

our time. I believe 2018 will be a better and more productive

year if we commit to being faithful to church, reading God’s

word, and spending time in prayer. We will do all of those

things today, and I hope you will continue to make the Lord

first the rest of the year in everything you do.
