A Father's Day Message

It's FATHER'S DAY and we honor all the fathers that have come to worship with us this morning. You know, we all have in common that we came from human parents and the role of the father is so significant in the life of the children born to him.

Here are a few ''significant'' roles of fathers. Dads, thanks for being:

•the chaser of the bogeyman
•the doctor applying - band-aids and kisses to boo-boos

Your love and concern never ends and your wallet never stops emptying for them!
