Edition 7 3

September 12, 2017

Theme for 2017-2018

“Under Construction: God at Work” “For we are God’s

fellow workers. You are God’s field, God’s building. According to the grace of God given

to me, like a skilled master builder I laid a

foundation, and someone else is

building upon it. Let each one take care

how he builds upon it. For no one can lay a

foundation other than that which is laid,

which is Jesus Christ.” 1 Corinthians 3:9-11
