Dayton Avenue Baptist Church

“But by the grace of God I am what I am, and His grace toward me did not prove vain…” 1 Corinthians 15:10a

Welcome to Dayton Avenue Baptist Church this morning.  If you are a first-time guest, we hope that you experience the love of the Lord and a warm welcome and are drawn closer to Him.  If you are a regular Dayton Ave family member, we pray that you are encouraged and strengthened in your walk of faith. 
On the way in to church Monday, I passed something in the road that brought back to memory a dream from the night before.  In the dream I was standing in the middle of my backyard and noticed the grass was quite long.  I went to take a step, and at the last moment before setting my foot down, I noticed a tuft of black fur right there… with a stripe of white! (passing a dead skunk in the road is what helped me remember)
I looked to take a step in a different direction, and guess what?  Another skunk, and another… hidden in the tall grass all around.  Just before the dream ended, I thought, “I’ll survive this, but it’s going to get stinky.”
Have you ever been there – up to your ankles in weeds and surrounded by potential problems that are easy to step into?  Maybe you’ve come to church today after a week like that, wondering if people will be able to sense the evidence of what you’ve gone through.  My prayer is that God will encourage and strengthen us in our faith today through fellowship, through worship, and through studying His Word.
Our next Q&A time from our Genesis Series is planned for Sunday evening, February 19th at 6:00.  If you have questions, please get them to me prior to then.  Then, the following Sunday evening at 6:00pm, we are planning a Fellowship Carry-in Dinner to welcome new members. Perhaps you have been considering joining… now would be a great time.  Just speak with me today or this week so we can be planning for you.
I am praying for you.  Thank you for praying for me.
