Matthew 11:25 -30 “Come to Me.”

Sometimes we get bogged down with work, stress, discouragement. Sometimes we go to the wrong people for help or advice. He wants us to have a relationship with him and know you can take those things to Him. He says in vs 29, "Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. vs 30 for My yoke is easy and My burden is light. He wants you to."

“Come to Him” wherever you are. God Bless.

Hello Falmouth Outlook readers! Thank you for taking your time to read our updates.

Our Spring Trash pickup on Highway 330 West is finished. Many came to help and we completed it quickly.  In the Fall, we'll go for it again!   

Don't forget the annual National Day of Prayer service, at 7 p.m. on Thursday, May 2 at Falmouth Christian Church. Everyone is welcome.   

Looking ahead to our annual Walk for Life at 9:30 a.m. on May 18 at the Fairgrounds. Meet there and walk or sponsor someone. Just show up! There will be free hot dogs, chips, desserts, and drinks afterwards.

Many in our church have had answered prayers lately. David Priest is home from a short hospital stay. God is faithful.  Prayer is powerful! Take time daily to seek God in prayer and read His Holy Bible. Come join us at church soon, we have FREE breakfast every Sunday morning.

It's always great to be in the House of the Lord with like-faith individuals.  Bro. Kevin is using Romans 1 as he told of the eternal power of God's nature.

Bro. Mark’s message was from Psalms 1:1-2.

Blessed. Inward joy.Who doesn’t want to be happy?  God’s children can have difficult times during their life.  The joys of those who do not follow evil advice, but do delight in doing everything God wants you to do.  Day and night meditate on his laws and ways to follow him more closely.

How we treat other people, the things we say and how we act is seen by many.

Turner Ridge

We were blessed with two baptisms this past Sunday, Whitney and Ruby McCoy. Pray for these girls as their relationship with Jesus grows.

The children’s message, The Greatest Gift of All, God gave His only Son to die on the cross “so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. …” Ephesians 3:17 Also, as the children have been challenged to learn the books of the bible, both Leah Nelson and Cali Baumgartner recited the first five books!

Brently Florer read Ephesians 2:4-10 and Jeff Baumgartner provided special music, The Man on the Middle Cross. Bro. Dale then brought the message, It’s All About Grace. The message was based on Genesis 6:5-8, and how Noah found grace with God.

Sunday afternoon at 2 pm the Associational Bible Drill was held at Turner Ridge and it’s a blessing to see the young people in our churches hiding the word of God in their hearts!
