Today’s Scripture Reading: 1 Timothy 2:1-8 and Colossians 4:2-6 Today’s Message: Genesis 18 “Abraham Prays for Sodom” Tonight: Bible Study (Psalm 26) & Prayer Thursday Night: Jeremiah Petition Regarding Same-Sex Marriage Legislation: Lisa Bowden will be manning a table up back before and after the service to oversee signing of this petition, which will allow Maine voters to decide on the issue of legalizing same-sex marriage. The Constitution of the State of Maine affords Maine voters the opportunity to veto legislation, and in this case, an opportunity for believers to stand up for the Biblical definition of marriage between one man and one woman.
