Julington Creek NEWSLETTER News about the collective work at the Julington Creek church of Christ and updates on individuals and families. Volume 2 Issue 1 January 6, 2013 Well, 2012 is now history and we are embarking on a brand new year. What will 2013 bring to the church at Julington Creek? We pray that God will bless our work here to His honor and glory. I pray that we stay united in the faith once delivered (Jude 3), that our love deepens for one another, and that we will find others who want to serve the Lord with all their heart. As we ask God to bless our efforts, we must realize that each of us is needed to expend that effort in untiring service to the Lord and His church. But speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in all aspects into Him, who is the head, even Christ, from whom the whole body, being fitted and held together by that which every joint supplies, according to the proper working of each individual part, causes the growth of the body for the building up of itself in love (Eph. 4:15-16). 2012 found us with elders serving the flock; 2013 finds us reverting to business meetings. We will do what we must to provide leadership and direction for this church; after all, it has been bought with the precious blood of Christ (Acts 20:28) and deserves only first-rate service from those privileged to be members. Last year we: • Started a website. It is maintained by Travis Smith. We will add new features to it in 2013. • We began a door-knocking work in our community. Let’s see that it continues in 2013. • We lost several families due to work-related moves, or lack of spiritual strength in their lives. Let’s work and pray to find new families to add to our membership here. • Men were brought to the Lord in the prison system; I have faith that more will come to Christ in 2013 through our continued efforts here. • We experienced many serious illnesses among our members, but we have to remember to thank God for those who have been healed from beds of sickness. Let’s greet the new year with renewed enthusiasm and great faith! With God “all things are possible” (Matt. 19:26; Phil. 4:13). dlf BIBLE CLASSES: Prayers for the SICK C. V.
