Practice Notes for September 11th

Good Wednesday morning to you all!

Just a couple of things to remind you of this morning...we once again will not be having choir rehearsal this Sunday night, BUT WE WILL BE SINGING!!  Sunday night is the September 11th Remembrance Service at Goodlettsville Nazarene church.  We are having a community wide choir and we will get together Sunday night at 4:30 PM to rehearse the music together!  The service starts at 6 PM.  After this week we'll be back to our regular practice schedules as normal on Sundays at 5 PM.

Christmas CD's are ready to be picked up in the Office so make sure to get yours!

Here's a devotional thought for you as you tackle the rest of your week!  See ya Sunday night!

Complaining
by John and Kathy Frady

I spent one summer working in a mission center near the French Quarter in New Orleans.  Every week, our team distributed donated bread and other food items to anyone in need.  One man came for bread weekly and continuously complained, saying, "All you ever give me is bread and desserts.  I need some Vienna Wienies!"  One week, I bought and then gave him a can of Vienna Sausages.  He took the can and said, "I bet you don't have any mustard to go with it, do you?"

Salvation is free, but it is not cheap.  The only reason we can receive eternal life is because Jesus died on a cross to pay the penalty for our sins.  Fortunately, the Lord sees fit to draw us to Himself through the power of the Holy Spirit.

We should be thankful for the price that the Lord paid for us and we should ask forgiveness for all the complaining that we do so often!

"Jesus answered them, 'Stop complaining among yourselves.  No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him, and I will raise him up on the last day'"  (John 6:43-33).


"People that pay for things never complain.  It's the guy you give something to that you can't please." - Will Rogers
