Are Ye Able Said The Master
Are ye able," said the Master, To be crucified with Me? Yea, the sturdy dreamers answered, To the death we follow Thee.
Lord, we are able. Our spirits are Thine. Remold them, make us, like Thee, divine. Thy guiding radiance above us shall be a beacon to God, to love and loyalty.
Our Speaker
Rev. Nelson Dorsey, Jr. returns to us this Sunday with the message of the morning. A graduate of the Washington Baptist Seminary he also holds a degree in law from George Washington University Law School. He is an Associate Minister at Mt. Zion Baptist Church. Today we welcome Rev. and Mrs. Dorsey.

Announcements
Get Grounded in the Word
The world is ever changing but God’s word stays the same. There’s no need to be swayed by every wind of doctrine when you can lay a solid biblical foundation. Yes, that right. Get grounded in the word so you are prepared when the Master returns. There is no better place than Sunday School to learn God’s word. Believe it or not the bible is applicable to today’s situations and circumstances. The Sunday School needs you. So come out each Sunday at 10:00 a.m. to spiritually refresh yourself. Our Sunday School has a wonderful future.
Yours In Christ,
Sharon Malone, Superintendent
