Monday

“Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ has been born of God,

and everyone who loves the Father loves whoever has been born of him.”

~1 John 5:1, ESV~

I saw (and ate) a lot of chocolate last night at church.   We had another great Sunday fellowship night.  Now, we have to wait until Sunday to have “Pie in the sky”.  I also have to decide what kind of pie to make.  Come join us at FBC, Kentwood if you are not in another church at that time.

The youth and children from FBC, Kentwood will be attending camp soon.  Please begin to pray for them now.

Please pray for Mr. and Mrs. John Alan Blackwell as they make the move to Moss Point, MS.  She is almost finished with the radiation treatments, but has more chemo to continue.  Pray this move works well for all the family.

Today, I would like to introduce you to a site that has devotionals (and other things) for children.  I hope you will explore such sites to share with your children and grandchildren.  Maybe, some of them will also touch our hearts.  Give it a peep.

Sunday Afternoon

Verla Smith

Franks Mom had her Heart Cath and there was no blockage. Now she has just got to re-hab and hopefully she can get some strength back. She is still in Forest General at Hattiesburg and will be moved sometimes next week to a swing bed at a care facility in Hattiesburg. Thanks so much for the continuing prayers. Franks brother Mike lives in Hattiesburg so she will be near family at this time.

Leroy Wilkinson is getting some physical therapy in Hammond before coming home midweek.  Keep him and his family in your prayers.

Sunday

“And so I have made it my aim to preach the gospel, not where Christ was named,

lest I should build on another man’s foundation, but as it is written: ‘

To whom He was not announced, they shall see;

and those who have not heard shall understand’.”

~Romans 15:20-21~

Please be in prayer for Mr. A. W. Reed.  He is hospitalized at Out Lady of the Lake in Baton Rouge.  Cyndi said she knows the family will be appreciative of prayers.
