"Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign: Behold, a vir- Serving Ten Counties
gin shall conceive and bear a son, and shall call his name ;d:; ii Since 1979
• .Immanuel." (Isaiah 7:14 KJV) His very name, Immanuel, means
"God with us." God has always been with man spiritually but
God's coming into the world as a man is hard for people to grasp.
This has madeit possible for everyone who believes in Him to
have a close and personal relationship with God. This promise
was fulfilled in the birth of Jesus. "For unto us a child is born,
unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoul-
der: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, The Mighty
God, The Everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace." (Isaiah 9:6
KJV) O
Join us in Sunday School on November 12, in our study, enti-
tled "God With Us" as we learn how God's promise impacts peo-
ple in different ways. For unbelievers it is a call to receive God's
gift of eternal life by faith in Jesus as God's Son. For believers it
is a challenge to praise God for sending His Son and to tell oth-
I
ers about Him.
Children and youth of C.Y.M. meet every Wednesday from
6:30-8:00 p.m. for recreation and Bible lessons. Prayer meeting
for adults begins at 7:00 p.m.
