Dear Brothers and Sisters,

In Isaiah 58:1-7, and throughout the entire chapter, the prophet displays the various manifestations of lack of love among the the people of God. At bottom, it is hypocrisy. Isaiah describes a religious people who are passionate about their religious persuasions and duties, yet the reason they are doing them is for love of self. They have a form of religion, but it is form without love or power. Instead of fasting for the benefit of others (relief from burdens; Removal of oppression” and “To let the oppressed go free, And that you break every yoke.”), they fast in order to get an upper hand, rather than to express love toward their brethren.

Prayer will be held in the Brown Barn

Don’t forget Women’s Mentoring on Wed at the Barn at 10:00, where the ladies will begin a new book, “Managers of Their Home,” led by Deborah Brown. 

The songs we will be singing are following:

• Redeemed, How I Love to Proclaim It!
• O for a Thousand Tongues to Sing
• Immovable Our Hope Remains
• Before the Throne of God
• Rise Up, O Church of God
