Mid-week Announcements on January 6, 2021

1) Mid-week devotional – As we continue on in our series on wisdom (living skillfully in God’s world), we turn to this morning to the Psalms, looking specifically at Psalm 62. The Psalms are God’s inspired hymnbook, so we don’t just read them, we pray and sing the psalms. Our devotional this week has four simple components: Read, Reflect, Pray, and Praise. Begin with the devotional, then end with the song of praise:

a) Mid-week Devotional: Psalm 62 “God Alone is Our Help”
       (*We also put this content on our podcast platforms: Google Podcast or Apple Podcast)

b) “Rock of My Salvation” – FBCUM YouTube channel

2) FBCUM Prayer Meeting, January 6^th at 6:30 PM (ZOOM only) – Lord willing, we plan on having a churchwide tonight at 6:30 PM on ZOOM. Please check your email for the ZOOM information as we come together to praise God and make our requests known to Him. If you have any questions, please contact the church office.
