Your contributions to God help us preach the Gospel here in Cedar Key, around the world and carry out works of benevolence to the glory of Christ our Lord

Welcome Visitors and Members! We hope that your experience today will add something meaningful to your life in Christ Jesus. If you are new to the area and would like more information about this church, let us know. If you

are just visiting our island community, then we hope to see you again. Would you like to confess your faith in Jesus Christ and repent of your sins today? Come forward during the last song and we will assist you in obeying Christ as Lord – or let us know your desire some other time. We can

arrange a time for your baptism into Christ. If you are a Christian and wandered away from home with the Lord, you may also make your desires known and we will pray for God to forgive your sins, and fully restore you to Jesus Christ and joyful fellowship with other Christians.

Bible Question: To whom did God show his steadfast love in the Old Testament? (Ex 20:6)

We wish everybody

What Makes a House a Home?

"For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nordepth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord" (Romans 8:38,39)

Clifton Fadiman wrote in “The Little Brown Book of Anecdotes”:

‘On February 14, the business of Valentine's Day is to ardently pursue love interests and warmly renew those already in progress.

Daniel Webster, a 19th century lawyer and statesman, was courting his wife-to-be, Grace Fletcher. As he held skeins of silk thread for her, he suggested, "Grace, we've been engaged in untying knots; let us see if we can tie a knot which will not untie for a lifetime." They stopped right then and tied a random silk knot that would be almost impossible to untie. Grace accepted Webster's proposal.

After they passed from this world, their children found a little box marked "Precious Documents." Among the contents were letters of courtship and a tiny silk knot—one that had never been untied.’

Happy Valentines Day 2016! Isn’t it wonderful that we have a day set-aside on our calendars to celebrate the subject of love? Some think this is all about “that’s amore” as the Italian singers love to croon. Is that all?

The pure, unselfish and devoted love of God goes much higher than any love we mortals can imagine. In order to show us his love, God gave himself. John 3:16 DB
