Heritage Weekly for 12/3/09

Greetings Church Family,

Reminder 1: Service this Sunday is at 10:00 AM and there is no teaching time

Reminder 2: This Sunday will be the last opportunity to sign the Christmas cards for the missionaries. They will be on the middle booth table before and after service. We will also pick up any pictures made for Kelsey or the Barceló family at that time as well. We probably won’t have time to do any of the work after service, but feel free to make pictures and bring them to church.

Our message this coming Lord’s Day is about contentment and materialism. I thought the following quote from J.C. Ryle was appropriate for the occasion:

Hold Your Possessions Loosely
From Practical Religion, “Our Home”, 396.

“Are you prosperous in the world? Have death, sickness, disappointment, poverty, and family troubles passed over your door up to this time and not come in? Are you secretly saying to yourself, ‘Nothing can hurt me much. I shall die quietly in my bed and see no sorrow.’ Take care.”

“You are not yet in harbor. A sudden storm of unexpected trouble may make you change your note. Set not your affection on things below. Hold them with a very loose hand and be ready to surrender them at a moment’s notice. Use your prosperity well while you have it; but lean not all your weight on it, lest it break suddenly and pierce your hand.” ~ J.C. Ryle
