Welcome to Summerville Family Worship Center! Thank you for joining us in worship today! In keeping with the core values of our organization - prayer, leader- ship development, reaching the young harvest and stewardship - we at SFWC recognize our vision, purpose and mission as follows: SFWC VISION: We are “called to reach” our community for Christ by connecting people to Christ, to the Body, to the community. This can be seen in our purpose and mission statement as well. PURPOSE: To reach the (unsaved/unchurched) community getting them to the congregation, from the congregation to the committed, from the committed to the called and from the called back to the community. MISSION: To tell of Jesus Christ and His truth and to spread the gospel of His Kingdom so that the rule of God is brought about in the hearts of people. Our desire is to let all we say and do serve the purpose of reaching out to the lost for Jesus Christ. We aim to do this through: 1. Evangelism - Reaching our community with the message of Jesus Christ. 2. Worship - Raising up Christ in spirit and in truth. 3. Fellowship - Building up our congregation in love. 4. Discipleship - Growing up committed people in the Word. 5. Leadership - Equipping Christians for the ministry. If you are visiting with us today, we would like to welcome you and thank you for joining us. We pray you enjoy your worship experience Lead Pastor J.R. & Shirley Martin SERMON NOTES ________________________________ ________________________________ _____________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________ ________________________________ ________________________________ __________________________________ _________________________________ ________________________________ ________________________________ ___________________________________ __________________________________ ________________________________ ________________________________ ________________________________ ________________________________ _______________________________ ________________________________ ________________________________ _________________________________ ________________________________ ________________________________ ________________________________ _________________________________ _________________________________ ________________________________ ________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________ ________________________________ ________________________________ ________________________________ ___________________________________________ __________________________________________ ________________________________ ________________________________ a ministry of Summerville Church of God of Prophecy | Men’s Ministry Bonfire Monday, December 9 7:00 pm at the home of Joe Luttrell 103 Murray Blvd., S’ville, SC 29483 MID-WEEK SPECIAL EVENTS!
