Memory Verse

Then went king David in, and sat before the LORD, and he said, Who am I, O Lord GOD? and what is my house, that thou hast brought me hitherto? And this was yet a small thing in thy sight, O LORD GOD; but thou hast spoken also of thy servant's house for a great while to come. And is this the manner of man, O LORD GOD? II Samuel 7:18-19

Putting the Word into Action

Change is in the air! In the case of Israel it was a new king. For us, it is the seasons and the weather. David had a plan to build God a house. Most of us have nice houses where we worship God. Now is a good time to help beautify your local house of God in fall colors if you have not already done so.
