We, as children of the Living GOD, are here to

As redeemed servants of Christ, we are to serve and to prepare all for

the Second Coming of Jesus Christ as the Blessed Hope and encouragement

for all mankind.

MISSION STATEMENT

Can you believe that summer is almost gone and it is

already time to start thinking about school again?

I want to share an exciting decision made by the

church board just this week, in an effort to make

Adventist education at Lubbock Junior Academy

(LJA) much easier financially.

The decision? To offer 50% off tuition for ALL

children in grades K-8 of our Lubbock Seventh-

day Adventist church members for the upcom-

ing school year.

This rarely heard-of commitment (a first for me to

experience), comes from a place, as I see it, of

wanting to see each of our children have both a

great quality education while being fully prepared

spiritually to be ready when Jesus pierces through

those clouds again.

Would you prayerfully consider joining us at tomor-

row’s registration?

AND… Whether your plans include LJA next year

or not, I want to invite you and your children out for

a wonderful time of food (pizza) and fun on a 30 foot

trampoline (pictured below).

See you tomorrow, Sunday, July 29, from 2-4 pm!

Pastor Ray

Unfortunately, due to our limited staff, we will not

be able to accommodate students with special needs.

REACH OUT TO JESUS Ralph Carmichael

(Closing Song)

Verse 1 Verse 2 Is your burden heavy Is the life you're living As you bear it all alone Filled with sorrow and despair Does the road you travel Does the future press you Harbor danger yet unknown With its worry and its care Are you growing weary Are you tired and friendless In the struggle of it all Have you almost lost your way Jesus will help you Jesus will help you When on His name you call Just come to Him today

Chorus He is always there

Hearing ev'ry prayer Faithful and true

Walking by our side In His love we hide All the day through

When you get discouraged Just remember what to do

Reach out to Jesus He's reaching out to you
