The Cincinnati UBF chapter held a special worship service on Sunday, July 14, 2024. The worship service was also blessed by the attendance of Pastor Ron and Dervilla W. from Chicago, Dr. Jim R. and Dr. Charles K. from Chicago, and Dr. Joe and Younse W. from New Albany, IN.

The passage was based on Matthew 16:1-12. David M. shared the message, "Don’t You Remember?" The key verse was Matthew 16:9. “Do you still not understand? Don’t you remember the five loaves for the five thousand, and how many basketfuls you gathered?” We must remember the word and the work of Jesus in our lives and in our ministry. He is present. How easy it is to become self-conscious and lose sight of Jesus and his presence when confronted by the challenges of this life. How precious is our Lord Jesus, who is bound to us in all things! May God bless us to remember his word and his work and understand how incomparably glorious his presence is.

The worship service included a brief ceremony to celebrate the adoption of by-laws, and the nomination and election of elders and stewards, all of which have happened in the past several months. Missionary Caleb K. and Dr. Justin S. were formally announced as elders, David M. as director and Dr. John E. as Treasurer. These elders and stewards were dedicated to the Lord’s work by the prayers of Pastor Ron W., Dr, Charles K., Dr. Jim R. and Dr. Joe W. We pray that God may continue his work and his history in Cincinnati moving forward.
