ROGER'S REMARKS
For a few months, there have been some significant conversations pertaining to the future of First Christian Church. During one evening in April, our elders led some discussion groups in which ideas and possibilities were shared to help increase the number of people who are involved in our church.

How often has Pastor Roger asked us to recall something from the previous week’ message and had few responses. We tend to forget the specifics, but the meaning remains.
But the sermon is not the only message we get. The message in music is memorable. Part of the reason is that it is repeated- word for word – over many years. We want to be sure our message is theologically correct. Our Hymnal does a fine job presenting lyrics that underscore our beliefs.

The way to life... Finding our way.
How can we find our way... As we walk through life,
Sometimes we come to a fork in the road, wanting to make the right decision.
Do we?
Travel the right path or do we take a chance and turn left?
Before we choose we go to our map and read through it.
Our map.... Our Bible. The map to our live long journey.
