Taking the Lead

Jimmy Summers led us in our study from Joshua 1 about overcoming our fears when God gives us the opportunity to lead. We learned that God will ALWAYS be there with us every step of the way when he calls us to spiritual leadership.

Before the lesson, several in the class reported on ways we served this week financially, spiritually, and by volunteering. Bill L said Sherry, mother of 13 who lost her husband, told him she was thankful for the body of Christ who was so evident this week. Ann H had a thank you note from the person who delivered clothes provided for 3 sisters who lost their parents. Jane M read a thank you note from a church in Pratt City that was provided supplies and clothes.
