“Do not go where the path may lead; go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.”

Measure of Success
We strive to be successful on our jobs, in our communities and with our friends, but the real measure of success comes from the way your child describes you.
Think on this poem.
You can use most any measure
When you're speaking of success
You can measure it in fancy home
expensive car or dress;
But the measure of your real success
is one you cannot spend
It's the way your child describes you
when he's talking to a friend.

Four Phrases
A very wise minister once told a couple to try to live by four three-word phrases that they should say to each other everyday!
1. I LOVE YOU
2. I'M SORRY
3. PLEASE FORGIVE ME
4. LET'S TRY AGAIN
Say these everyday with a tender heart.
1. I LOVE YOU

3. PLEASE FORGIVE ME

Say these everyday with a tender heart.

Renewal of Wedding Vows
Sunday, June 15th, (Father's Day), we will hold "Renewal of Wedding Vows" Day at the Pelham COGOP. Any married couple may renew their wedding vows on this day.
I believe one of the primary reasons for the breakdown in the home is that we have forgotten God's commands about marriage .... Jesus said, "A man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife..... Therefore what God has joined together, let not man separate" (Matthew 19:5-6).... Marriage is a symbol of the unity between Christ and His church-a unity that should never be torn..... If divorce has happened to you, God can forgive the past, heal the present, and give hope for the future. But if you are married, treasure your spouse as a "gift" from God, and yield your marriage to Christ.
Please let us know if you wish to renew your vows on Father's Day.

Bible Study on Peace of God

Everyone enjoyed this study very much. Bro. Clanton would be a blessing to any local church.

Gift Card Shower
The wonderful people of the Pelham COGOP keep surprising us each month. Due to the great grocery showers given us in April and May we ask the church to omit the June grocery shower. Well they did, but surprised us with a wonderful "Gift Card" Shower. We received $120.00 worth of Gift Cards to three of our favorite restaurants. We are honored to be the pastoral team at the Pelham Church of God of Prophecy.
