            Does US Airways Flight #1549 ring any bells with you?  That is the flight, with 155 people aboard, that struck a flock of geese, which disabled the engines while in the air.  In all probability, people on board thought they were going to die.  However, the pilot and crew maneuvered the crippled plane onto the Hudson River where all were rescued.  This has been referred to as the "Miracle on the Hudson."  No doubt, many people were turning to God in this crisis.  Why does it take a situation like this for people to turn to God?

 

            Golden Valley Christian Church will begin "The Story" sermon series this Sunday, complemented by Sunday School classes for all ages.  Furthermore, mark your calendar:  At 6 PM, on Sunday, October 5th, GVCC will host Potter's Wheel, a bluegrass gospel music group from Lebanon, Missouri.  This talented group performed for us last year, and they were so well received, we asked them to come back!  We cordially invite the public to attend.

 

            Bro. Tim used a number of Biblical examples to prove the title of his message, "Jesus Loves Sinners."  The woman at the well (John, Chapter 4), the woman that washed Jesus' feet (Luke, Chapter 7), and Zacchaeus, the tax collector (Luke, Chapter 19), were some examples of Jesus associating with sinners.  Jesus was quite a contrast to the religious leaders of the day.  God is anxious and willing to forgive our sins.  He is still the same God, if we will just turn to Him.

 

            The Bible challenge question is:  "What did the prophet Jeremiah buy while being held as a prisoner?'"  (Jeremiah 32:7-9)

                                                    

            The Golden Valley Christian Church meets at 611 South Third Street in Clinton.  Our Sunday Bible classes begin at 9:30 AM, and morning worship is at 10:30 AM.  Our full-time minister is Bro. Tim Randall (office phone #660-890-0252), and our website is www.goldenvalleycc.org.  We are happy to invite you to attend our services, where you will always receive a warm welcome.
