The Friday
night meeting was held at the Weldon Village Hall where the
anglers and thier famalies were treated to cold cut sandwhiches
and chips with cookies for dessert. There were 14 teams reprsented
at the meeting and we heard another wonderful message from the
Word of God. Our Director Carl Parks gave the message about
"faith without deeds". Now that we have heard the Gospel
what are we going to do with it? The scripture that was read was
James 2:14-24. This about how are faith and are deeds work
together and how one is no good without the other. Also in Matthew
chapter 25:14-30 talks about how a mans' servants were given
talents (money). One was given five and one was given two and one
was given one. When the master returned two of them had doubled
their talents and the master said come and share in your masters
happiness. The servant who was given one buried it because he knew
that his master was a hard man. His master replied you wicked lazy
servant! He also said to take the talent and give it to the one
who has ten talents and throw that worthless servant outside into
the darkness where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
Now that we have the words of life what are we going to do with
it? Share the Gospel with someone you know and you will be
multiplying what God has given you and He will say well done good
and faithful servant, come and share in your masters happiness.
Amen! Afterward four people gave their lives to Jesus and three
people rededicated their lives to Christ. All the glory to God!
