Slade Womack will make his arrival Friday in the home of Scott and Kristi Womack. Pray for this sweet family as they look forward to the big event.
Last night, there was a celebration of ministry at FBC, Kentwood. Mr. Gerald Griffith was accepted into the church as a deacon who previously served in another church. Mr. Marty Simpson was ordained as a deacon. Mr. Wendell Rhodus and Mr. Michael Harrison received their licenses to the ministry. This was the first time I ever attended a service with multiple types of licenses. I’m so proud of all these men and thankful they have surrendered to do what God has called them to do. I was truly blessed just to be there.
March 12th will be the date for the next Women’s Ministry event, Mug ‘n’ Muffin, at FBC, Kentwood. There will be a planning meeting at 2 P.M. next Sunday for all ladies who would like to help. All ladies from five to a hundred five are invited to join us for the meeting on the 12th. Bring your favorite mug and a dozen muffins per family.

Psalm 100 (NIV)
A psalm. For giving thanks.
1Shout for joy to the LORD, all the earth.
2Worship the LORD with gladness;
come before him with joyful songs.
3Know that the LORD is God.
It is he who made us, and we are hisa;
we are his people, the sheep of his pasture.
4Enter his gates with thanksgiving
and his courts with praise;
give thanks to him and praise his name.
5For the LORD is good and his love endures forever;
his faithfulness continues through all generations.

A friend loves at all times,
and a brother is born for adversity.
~Proverbs 17:17 (NIV)~
THE HANDS OF CHRIST
During World War II, a church building in Strasbourg was destroyed. After the bombing, the members surveyed the area to see what damage was done. They were pleased that a statue of Christ with outstretched hands was still standing. It had been sculpted centuries before by a great artist.
Taking a closer look, the people discovered both hands of Christ had been sheered off by a falling beam. Later, a sculptor in the town offered to replace the broken hands as a gift to the church. The church leaders met to consider the offer and decided not to accept it. They felt the statue without hands would be a great illustration that God’s work is done through his people.
Truly, in the church, we are the “hands of Christ”. If Christ is to minister to the poor, it must be through our hands. If he is to take care of the sick, it must be through our hands. If he is to reach out to those who are lonely, it must be through our hands.
“Together you are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a part of that body.” (I Corinthians 12:27, NCV)
See something around you that Christ needs to take care of today? He has no hands……..but your hands!
Have a great day!
