THE SERMON TITLE this morning is Watch Where You Are Going! Every parent’s nightmare is teaching their child to drive. Some parents opt out by paying someone else to get into a vehicle with their child. I was too cheap and proud to think someone else could teach my child to drive. However, things did not go as I planned. I can hear me say, “Be Careful!!” “You are going to hit something!” Or “Watch where you are going, or you will end up in a ditch!” This is not only true in drivers ed, but in life. God tells us, “Beware!” “Watch” where we are going, or we will end up where we did not intend to go.

BMCE SPONSORS BUS TRIP to Franklin Graham’s Prayer March. Saturday, September 26th is the date. BMCE has chartered a Perkiomen coach to take people to the Prayer March. Cost is $40 p/person. The coach will leave from the Leidy’s Church parking lot at 7:30am. Information regarding the Prayer Walk may be found at https://prayermarch2020.com. The March will begin at the Lincoln Memorial and end at the Capitol Building, a total of 1.8 miles, so be prepared to walk and pray! Franklin Graham has said: “I’m going to . . . our nation’s capital to pray—and I hope thousands of families, pastors, and churches will join me! Our nation is in trouble, and we need God’s help . . . We need to pray now more than ever . . . Our communities are hurting, our people are divided, and there’s fear and uncertainty all around us . . . So let’s join together and do the most important thing, and that is to pray.” To register for this trip, please call the Leidy’s Church office at 215-723-8707. Seating is limited, so call sooner rather than later. Registrations will close Sept. 17th.

For those of you who didn’t do so, please drop a photo of your children off at the church office or email an electronic version to office@leidyschurch.org ASAP so we can print them. We would love to have all our children being prayed for.
