JUNE 29TH; LORD'S Day (Sunday); 2024.

THIS WEEK'S HYMN. “No One Ever Cared For Me Like Jesus” by Rev. Mr. Charles F. Weigle (1871-1966). Rev. Weigle was an Itinerant Evangelist. This Hymn was written in 1932.

MATTERS FOR PRAYER. 1. One Resident asked Prayer for her Son. He is about 61. He just moved into a Care Facility. 2. After one of the Church Services last week, a Resident spoke with Dr. Spence as he was about to leave. She said that she has been away from THE LORD for many years. About 3 weeks ago, when she first started attending the Church Services, she did not want to come. Her Friend pushed her. But now she said that she cannot help but attend every week. She spoke that she is returning to THE LORD. Please keep these people in Prayer. *In the Thanksgiving and Prayerlist sections, the names of the people have been withheld to protect their privacy. Nevertheless, the Thanksgivings and Prayer Requests are real and actual.

THIS WEEK'S QUOTATION. Proverbs 23.7 says: “As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he.” What are you thinking about today? Hebrews 2.18 says: “For in that He Himself hath suffered being tempted, He is able to succour them that are tempted.” In his Exposition Of Hebrews, the celebrated Dr. John Owen (1616-1683) says of these Words: “In these Words, it may be observed that JESUS had particular experience of the weakness, sorrows, and miseries of human nature under temptations. He tried it, felt it, and will never forget it.”

DO YOU WANT A BIBLE? Would you like a copy of the faithful King James Version Scriptures? Dr. Spence has two types. 1. There are used Bibles. These dear Books were read by different Residents in the Care Facilities. Before these Residents left or passed away, they gave their Bibles to Dr. Spence. They wanted Dr. Spence to distribute the Bibles in the Care Facilities. In these more recent years, these are the Bibles Dr. Spence has mainly given out. Many have been happy with them. Some of these Bibles are worn. Others are in good condition. All contain the Word of GOD. 2. There are new Bibles and New Testaments. 3. There are the Psalms in Braille. If you or someone you know would use any of these, please contact us. The Books and postage are free. Revelation 1.3 says: "Blessed is he that readeth." Revelation 22.7 adds a second direction. "Blessed is he that keepeth the Sayings of this Book." In Rev. David Brainerd's last days of life, when the Scripture was read to him, he exclaimed: "O that lovely Book!"
