HAPPY SABBATH
Today we celebrate our youth under the theme "Youth on Mission for Jesus'.  We invite all our members and visitors alike to 'tag along' with a youth and come worship with us. Our resident Pastor Carl Brooks will no doubt have a message of inspiration for all of us.  Come and be blessed.

Do we expect to get to heaven at last and join the heavenly choir? Just as we go into the grave we will come up, as far as the character is concerned.... Now is the time for washing and ironing....

John saw the throne of God and around that throne a company, and he inquired, Who are these? The answer came, “These are they which ... have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb” (Revelation 7:14). Christ leads them to the fountains of living waters, and there is the tree of life and there is the precious Saviour. Here is presented to us a life that measures with the life of God. There is no pain, sorrow, sickness, or death there. All is peace and harmony and love....

Now is the time to receive grace and strength and power to combine with our human efforts that we can form characters for everlasting life. Read more
"When we all get to heaven, what a day of rejoicing that will be, when we all see Jesus, we will sing and shout for victory!"  It was a high day in Zion last Sabbath as we partook in our final communion Service for 2019.  Let us all remain faithful so that we will indeed see Jesus when he comes.  Click to view more photo highlights of last Sabbath's service.
