Catechism Review: Don’t forget to keep up with your Westminster Shorter Catechism (WSC)! We will be learning Q&A #49 & #50 this month:

Q. 49. Which is the second commandment?

A. The second commandment is, Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth; thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them; for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me: and showing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.

Q. 50.  What is required in the second commandment?

A. The second commandment requireth the receiving, observing, and keeping pure and entire, all such religious worship and ordinances as God hath appointed in his word.

And don’t forget to keep reviewing the earlier questions!

News and Announcements

Pastor Mark’s Trip
“We thank the Lord for my mother’s Memorial Service. I was able to share with the people about my mom’s faith and encouraged them to place their faith in the Lord Jesus. Both of my brothers were there (who are not believers). Calvin and I enjoyed the long hours (12-13 hrs each way) together discussing, listening to podcasts, sleeping, etc.; we give thanks to the Lord for keeping us safe. Thank you so much for all your prayers!”
