That is the sole purpose for doing this drama. It is a lot of hard work and sacrifice of time and we want to thank all who has a part in this production. The next performances of Heavens Gate The Ultimate Sacrifice will be September 14th at 7:00 p.m. & September th 15 at 6:00 p.m. Invite your family, friends and co-workers to come to see this drama. It will change their life. There are some flyers at the Welcome Center take some and hand them out and put one on your bulletin board at work.

DONT STAY IN THE PIT! In Daniel 6:10, Daniel has just learned that if anyone was caught praying to anyone besides King Darius, they would be thrown in the lions den. Thats a serious pit! But Daniels reaction is amazing. He went home, threw his windows open and prayed anyway. Im not thinking he did this because he felt good. Im imaging he felt like anyone would feel in overwhelming circumstances. But he rose above his feelings to make a choice. And do you know what he chose to pray? God save me! God, its not fair! God, this is too much! God, smite my enemies and wipe them out! God, you know I cant handle this. No. None of these. What Daniel prayed is a powerful lesson for us. Daniel 6: 10b - tells us that Daniel spoke prayers of gratitude. Three times a day he got down on his knees and prayed, giving thanks to his God, just as he had done before. Life will be full of pits. But, that doesnt mean we have to be pit dwellers. I know we will sometimes find ourselves in a pit. But we dont have to stay there. (Copied) Roger

Pastor Jonathons Word of The Week Nature teaches us that every believer should be a soul-winner. It is an essential part of the new nature. We see it in every child who loves to tell of his happiness and to bring others to share his joys.
