Clear Springs Baptist Church… a small church where lots of people go!
a note from the pastor
Changeless, In A Changing World
These are turbulent times. Many things in our world
are in a state of change. The cost of goods is continually
rising, jobs are being affected, and politicians are prom-
ising us more change to come. Christians are to take
comfort in times like these because we serve a God that
never changes. His promises are still intact, heaven is
still available to all who will ask, and His presence is
ever with us.
In 1932 Jeanie Wilson copyrighted a song that sums it
all up so well. It is entitled, "Hold To God's Unchanging
Hand." One verse goes like this: "Time is filled with swift
transition, nought of earth unmoved can stand, build
your hopes on things eternal, hold to God's unchanging
hand." That advice written in song in 1932 is still good in
20014.

Sunday School... A Run-On Sentence…
Director Arnwine told me to tell you that Sunday School is great, its good, and grateful groups gather there gladly to get good and grow in Gods House, where gracious, godly, gatherers of truth, have gathered great grapes from the gospel vineyard and will be there to give you the gift of God's great gospel which guides guilty souls gently to the God of grace and grieving souls may also go and that there is no greener grass growing than in Gods great green pasture.
