@greenvillefmc #EnjoyingGod

Wow! The apostle Paul sure can get testy sometimes. The chapter we will look at today is a prime example. But rather than being put off by the tone and content of this letter, we just may find our hearts being stirred toward something great and wonderful that only God can give.

If you are our guest today, please stop by one of the WelcomeCenters before you leave to get more information and a gift.If you have children, we provide very safe surroundings andwonderful activities. See more information inside this folder.

Please fill out the Communication Card, which you will find in your bulletin, and place it in the basket on your way out. Don’t hesitate to jot down a prayer request. Again, welcome, as weworship God for who He is and listen to what He says.
