Assisting Next Week: Welcoming Team: Lead – Wayne Moss Lower Hall – Claudette Caddoo & Sheila Handleigh Welcome Table – Donna Moss Balcony – Linda Walsh Elevator – Charlie Walsh Reader – Anita King Coffee Hour -- Outreach Committee Nursery Care – Laura Mara Toddler Room – Pam Berry Sunday School lesson – God calls Abraham / Man of faith Genesis 12:1-9 Memory verse: ‘Trust in the Lord with all your heart.’ -- Proverbs 3:5 What we learned: Abraham had faith. Faith is trust. Abraham believed God’s promises and obeyed God. Abraham moved at God’s command with no knowledge of where he was going. Suggested parent/child activity: Tell your child/children a personal “moving” story. Either from your childhood or pre-children days or one they remember. Talk about moving with God. To obey God is not always easy and requires trust. For those who want to dig deeper: The life of faith is a life of risk, of stepping out into the unknown with nothing more solid before us than God’s command. L.O. Richards Teacher’s Commentary p.1012
