At 11:00 AM - Minister Dorothy Malone spoke about the tools in her toolbox. Some points to take away:

• First know that we all have a sin nature. This happened before "we" were born, as result of what Adam and Eve did in the Garden of Eden.
• The Law cannot save us but God's grace can and does.
• Salvation is not a feeling!!
• Matthew 6:33 - But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
• Colossians 2:6-7 - So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live your lives in Him, rooted and built up in Him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness.
• We should develop deep roots in the Word with the help of the Holy Spirit.
• The Holy Spirit is in each and every one of us!!!
• God allowed His Son to die for our sins and raised Him with all power to show us His power, His grace and His love for us.
• We are saints, highly exalted.
• Colossians 3:1-6 - Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God.  Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things.  For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God.  When Christ, who is your life, appears, then you also will appear with Him in glory.  Put to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires and greed, which is idolatry.  Because of these, the wrath of God is coming.

12 Noon - Lunch was served; announcements made and then the Benediction.
