There was a generation that worked 10-hour shifts, came home tired, washed up, ate supper, and still went to Wednesday night Prayer Meeting.  Families drove cars without air conditioning to churches without air conditioning and somehow survived.  Mothers got several children dressed for Sunday School without tablets entertaining them. Farmers milked cows before daylight and still made it to church.  They were not perfect people, but they understood commitment.
 
Now we have padded seats, climate-controlled buildings, and comfortable automobiles.  We say Christ comes first, but our calendars sometimes tell another story.

NO CHILDREN’S CHURCH/KID’S WORSHIP/CONTEMPORARY WORSHIP THIS MORNING
Everyone will meet in the Sanctuary for worship today.  Nursery is available for ages birth to 3 years old.
