Graduation Recognition:  This past Sunday we recognized the 2012 graduates.  The choir sang "Find Your Wings" by Mark Harris and ministered "I Feel The Joy" prior to the message.  A great morning of worship!

Mother's Day Ladies Choir:  On Mother's Day we had a 70 voice ladies choir that did a fantastic job under the direction of Dr. Valerie Mathura!  Thanks to all the mothers and daughters who participated -- can't wait 'til next year!!

Praise Devotional by Derek Prince

All Creatures Praise the Lord

Psalm 115:17-18 The dead do not praise the LORD, nor do any who go down into silence; but as for us, we will bless the LORD from this time forth and forever. Praise the Lord! NASB

The Bible exhorts every area of creation and every kind of creature to praise the Lord. The Bible exhorts the heavens, the earth, the sea, the forests, the rocks. There is nothing that should not praise the Lord.

It speaks about all kinds of creatures – flying creatures, creatures in the sea, crawling creatures, cattle, wild beasts. It speaks about all the states of the human race – kings, princes, young men, old men, maidens, children – all are exhorted to praise the Lord.

In fact, there’s only just one category of people that do not praise the Lord. Do you know who that is? The dead. Only the dead do not praise the Lord.

My dear friend, if you do not praise the Lord, do you know what your problem is? You are one of the dead. Not necessarily physically dead, but spiritually dead. Come alive. Begin to praise the Lord. The more you praise the Lord, the more joy and spiritual life you’ll experience. Begin to praise Him right now.
