Weekly Bulletin: 2022-11-30
“Therefore we must pay much closer attention to what we have heard, lest we drift away from it. For since the message declared by angels proved to be reliable, and every transgression or disobedience received a just retribution, how shall we escape if we neglect such a great salvation?” (Heb. 2:1–3).
I hope you will join your church family in worship THIS Sunday, Dec. 4, at 10am, as we endeavor to be encouraged and edified by the singing and preaching of God’s Word and God’s truth. Lord willing, I’ll be back in Hebrews as we continue making our way through that glorious book. To learn more, visit www.stoningtonbaptist.org.
You especially won’t want to miss this Sunday’s annual Christmas Dinner, which begins THIS Sunday evening at 5:30. There’s still time to sign up, so I pray you’ll do that and that you’ll join us as begin celebrating the Christmas season by sharing a meal together!
God Bless You Church 🙏 Pastor Brad
