SEPTEMBER 2015 In One Accord Church of God Newsletter “go ye The Ten Commandments of God therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the father, and of the son, and of the holy spirit: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and Lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. amen.” Exodus 20:3-17 Matthew 28:19-20 Thou shalt have no other gods before me. Thou shalt not make unto the any graven image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the lord thy god is a jealous god, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me; and showing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments. Thou shalt not take the name of the lord thy god in vain: for the lord will not hold them guiltless that taketh his name in vain. Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labor, and do all thy work. But the seventh day is the Sabbath to the lord thy god; in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, not thy maidservant, not thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: for in six days the lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the lord blessed the Sabbath day, and hallowed it. Honor thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the Lord thy god giveth thee. Feasts of God His holy days 2015 April 3rd n.t.

Working together to spread the gospel of Jesus, the Christ ***IMPORTANT NOTICE*** If you have been unable to access our website, we must apologize for this. The company that hosts our website was recently hacked and completely deleted several of the websites in the system, including ours. If the hackers had only deleted the files on his system, he could have restored it easily. But, they got passed his security and removed everything, so we have to start from the beginning and re- build the entire system. This requires uploading a lot of information, so it will take time. We will do our best to get the website up and going again as soon as we possible can. Please check back occasionally and be patient with us as we work to restore the site. Pray that all of it will go smoothly for us as we do this. Thank you. 3 The Fall feasts are almost upon us, so it’s time to make plans to attend somewhere.

Both lost their spouses a few years back and have been a great support to one another. I drove to the dentist 84 mile. The purpose was to enhance my smile. May said, “Drive safely.” I said, “Never fear.” That was just before we hit the deer. I’m thankful it was not a high jumper. It only damaged one headlight and bumper. I wrecked May’s car, what a shame. But May said that I was not to blame. After over 2 years with her, I’ll have to say. I’m really blessed to have a friend like May.
