The African Childrens Choir melts the hearts of audiences with their charming smiles, beauful

voices and lively African songs and dances. The program features well-loved childrens songs, tra-

Living Life Together

God never intended for us to live life alone. You have heard me several mes over the last

month or so say that we need to live life together. I want to encourage you to do this as

much as possible. First, that you would have a life that is connected to our Lord Jesus that

is real and personal. Secondly, that you are connected to the church in a way that is minis-tering to others. When we are intenonal about touching others, somehow God meets

our relaonal needs. Thirdly, that you will have close relaonships that allow for account-

ability for you and at least one other person regularly. Ecclesiastes 4:9-12

9Two are beer than one,

because they have a good return for their labor:10

If either of them falls down,

one can help the other up.

But pity anyone who falls

and has no one to help them up.

11 Also, if two lie down together, they will keep warm.But how can one keep warm alone?

12Though one may be overpowered,

two can defend themselves.

A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.

-Pastor Harold

8th and 9th. There will also be ats of strawberries for
