23,1988 (OCT. Yl From the DA STOR GREETINGS IN JESUS* NAME: IT IS MY DELIGHT TO CONGRATULATE NEW ZION ON THIS QUR 31ST LOYALTY DAY CELEBRATION. IT IS ALSO A PLEASURE TO WELCOME NEW ZION'S FORMER PASTOR, THE REV. WILLIE DAVIS, AND THE SECOND BAPTIST CHURCH OF LAS VEGAS, NEVADA. WE ARE GLAD THAT YOU HAVE COME TO SHARE THIS SPECIAL DAY WITH US. AS SERVANTS OF THE LORD, WE HAVE MUCH TO BE THANKFUL FOR,..AND THREE REASONS FOR THANKFULNESS COME TO MIND, FIRST, WE ARE BLESSED TO BE IN THE HOUSE OF PRAYER ONE MORE TIME. SECOND, WE ARE REASONABLY HEALTHY IN BODY AND MIND, AND THIRD, WE HAVE ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY TO SHARE THE GOOD NEWS WITH OTHERS. 1 ENCOURAGE US TO CONTINUE TO BE OBEDIENT TO GOD AND LOYAL TO JESUS CHRIST. AS WORDS OF INSPIRATION, 1 WOULD LIKE TO SHARE PSALM 36:5-10. Thy mercy, O Lorpb, is in the heavens, and thy faithfulness reacheth unto the clouds. Thy righteousness is like the great mountains; thy judgments are a great ‘deep. O Lorp, thou preservest man and beast. How excellent is thy loving-kind-' ness, O God! Therefore, the children of men put their /trust under the shadow of thy wings. They shall be abundantly ¢satisfied with the fatness of thy house, and thou shalt make them drink of the hriver of thy pleasures. For with thee ts the ‘fountain of life; in thy light shall we see light. ~ Oh, Jcontinue thy loving-kindness unto those who know thee, and thy righteousness to the upright in heart. Pastor Brantley |
