The message for October 16th was brought by Rev. Dr. Gwen Andrews. The scripture preached from was 2 Timothy 3:14-4:5. Paul is encouraging Timothy in his call as minister of the Gospel to preach the word: be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and encourage-with great patience and careful instruction. Paul knew that there are people who are turning away from the truth and have itching ears to hear what they want to hear. For us today, it is important that we keep focused on Jesus Christ and continue to love God and love our neighbor as Jesus calls us to do. Dr. Michael Ross led the choir.
