Sunday Afternoon

Please add Marilyn Lafield to the prayer list, she is in ICU in Baton Rouge and the doctors don’t know what is wrong with her.

Thanks Bill (Frazier)

Jimmy Dukes was scheduled to preach at Line Creek (Kentwood) this morning.  I know the service surely was a blessing to him and to the church.

We attended worship at Northminster Baptist this morning, which is just across the street from the home we are staying in currently.  Today was Communion Sunday and we drew strength from centering ourselves around the table of grace, remembering the length to which God has gone to demonstrate eternal love.  We also drew strength from being with some of the many brothers and sisters in Christ we have met in this caring city.

I also took great comfort in the familiar words to Harry Emerson Fosdick’s, “God of Grace and God of Glory,” particularly from the words,

God of grace and God of glory
On Thy people pour Thy power
Crown Thine ancient church’s story
Bring her bud to glorious flower
Grant us wisdom, grant us courage
For the facing of this hour
For the facing of this hour

While Fosdick wrote these for the church, I received them today for me, for the facing of this hour.
