Our speaker during Family Bible Hour was Mr Steve Modrzejewski. He spoke about Cornelius. His text was Acts 10:

There was a certain man in Cesarea called Cornelius, a centurion of the band called the Italian band,
A devout man, and one that feared God with all his house, which gave much alms to the people, and prayed to God alway...

Here is a short summary about what we can learn from this chapter:

• God's plan has God's time
• Religious devotion does not mean eternal salvation
• A sincere seeker of God will be found
• There is only ONE way to God (Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life -- John 14:6)
• A servant of God deflects glory to God (see verse 26)
• A true seeker of God brings along those he loves (see verses 24, & 27)

Today's speaker was Mr Kap Thang, President of South East Asia Bible College. His text was based on Jesus' words found in John 14: 1-4

Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.
In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
And If I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself: that where I am, there ye may be also.
And whither I go ye know and the way ye know.

Kap reminds us to be faithful in the opportunities that God gives to each of us: particularly, in the use and care of our bodies; through our home/family lives; at our places of employment; and as responsible citizens/residents of this great country.

Below is the personalized quilt sewn by Cindy B for Camille. Many PMBC members partook in the design of this very lovely quilt through hand-written/ hand-drawn quilt panels that were then put together expertly by Cindy. Click on the pictures to enlarge. See if you can find YOUR quilt panel.

Thank You Everyone, from the Escobars. This quilt now covers Camille's bed in her dormroom at SIU. Please pray daily for our college students -- Camille E. and Abby C.

Our speaker for the Family Bible Hour was Mr Pat Hughes, missionary to Poland. He and his wife, Cindy, also did a presentation on their work in Poland during our evening Bible Study & Supper. His morning message was based on Hebrews 8

...We have such a high priest, who is set on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens...But now hath he obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also he is the mediator of a better covenant, which was established upon better promises...

Summary: We have better promises based on a better covenant through Jesus our High Priest, who lives forever, and thus, can save forever. Do not let ritual replace the reality of the work of Jesus Christ
