Welcome to all who are worshiping with us at the Dewey Community church this morning. May we all be grateful to God for the reminder that, for his children, worship is essential and not non-essential.

This Sunday's sermon will be available soon at www.deweychurch.org/listen.

Experiencing the Blessing in 2021
Numbers 6:22-27

The majority of us would delight for God to bless us by acting on our behalf throughout the coming year. The Scriptures point us to 4 traits which, when God sees them in a person’s life, bring down his blessing upon them.

I. God blesses the person who allows Him to reign in their life. (Psalm 144:15; Exodus 20:2-3)

II. God blesses the person who reveres His word. (Psalm 1)

III. God blesses the person who trusts Him to provide. (Isaiah 30:1-15, 18)

IV. God blesses the person who emulates His character. (Proverbs 14:21; Ephesians 5:1)

Conclusion: The LORD bless you and keep you; the LORD make his face shine upon you and be gracious to you; the LORD turn his face toward you and give you peace. (Numbers 6:24-26)

A Big Shout Out to the Second and Third Grade Sunday School Class. The kids and their parents praised $75 for Samaritan’s Purse. With their offerings, the class was able to purchase honeybees, baby chicks, Gospel booklets, ball and sport gear and “Jesus Loves Me” musical toy lambs. Thank you for generously and enthusiastically helping others!
