Vine Street Baptist Church was pleased to welcome Trevor Komatsu and his family today.  Trevor preached during the service while Pastor Spencer was away this weekend.

The service began with Derek Minton reading Psalm 131, and was followed by Jacob Hatcher leading Soon and Very Soon while the entire congregation sang.

A time of fellowship was given, where everyone greeted one another and welcomed each other. Derek returned to the platform and gave some announcements.

  • Bible study tonight, led by Jacob Hatcher
  • Business meeting tonight after Bible Study
  • Ruth series continues next week with Spencer preaching from Ruth 2
  • Next week will be the last week for the Hatcher family. A pot luck lunch will be held after the morning service.
  • The Statement of Faith study series starts next Sunday evening.

Derek prayed for the service and for a sister church in Louisville, then the ushers collected the offering.  Jacob and Jaime led the gathered in more singing

  • I Saw the Light
  • When My Heart is Torn Asunder
  • It is Well With My Soul

After the sermon everyone stood and sang Be Thou My Vision during a time of reflection.

Derek closed the service with an invitation for anyone to speak to a pastor after the service about church membership, becoming a Christian, or to discuss today’s sermon. He read 2 Corinthians 13:11 as a closing scripture and then dismissed the group.
