Selfish or Selfless?
Weekly bulletin article by Mike Johnson
All babies are born into the world immediately selfish. When they are hunger, it is time to eat right then! When they need a diaper change, they need it right now! When they are tired, a nap is a necessity right now! The signal for NOW is some form of a screeching cry or yell. Selfishness!
It’s not just babies who are known for displays of selfishness. Many adults battle it while many others perfect it. It’s all about their careers, their reputations, their bank accounts, their lives. They adjust their days to fulfill as many of their desires as they can. In the meantime, they seem to overlook everyone else with a focus that goes no further than their own noses.
Selfishness has been a human problem since the beginning of time. Eve’s selfish desires cost her and her family a paradise (Genesis 3). Achan’s selfishness cost him his life (Joshua 7). Rehoboam’s selfishness cost him a kingdom (I Kings 12). That’s the odd thing about selfishness—it often leads to complete loss.

Youth Activities
The aim of our youth program is to provide spiritual and fellowship activities that will help our young people grow in knowledge and service to God.
Our youth program is designed with activities, devotionals, youth rallies, etc., for students in grade six through twelve. Many parents are involved in the youth program in a variety of ways, from serving as chaperones, assisting with transportation and opening their homes to fellowship activities.
Several events are planned each year, both locally and in other states. Some are strictly fun and fellowship. Others are spiritual in nature. A few of the activities our youth participate in are:
