Wednesday

Today’s verse is compliments of the International Mission Board’s Today’s Prayer.

“For God is not unjust;

He will not forget your work and the love

you showed for His name when you served the saints–

and you continue to serve them.”

~Hebrews 6:10~

Russ and Ashley Guzzardo have a new baby daughter.

The newest member of my family is here.  Blakely Nickole Guzzardo arrived at 5:25 on August 20,2013.  She weighed 7lbs 8 oz and was 20 inches long.  Thank-you to everyone for your prayers. Please say a prayer of thanks for a healthy baby.  God is good!!!!!!!!!!

Kathy Jo Thompson and her mother are flying to Maryland today so Kathy Jo can have another surgery.  Pray for her as she continues her battle.

There is a young man from our area who, with his wife, is teaching in Egypt.  Pray for them during this time of unrest.  Pray for their families here to have peace about the location of their loved ones.

FBC, Kentwood will switch from AWANA to Team Kid this year.  They will also switch back to Sundays for their meetings.  Stay tuned for more information.

Bible Study – Don’t forget the ladies’ Bible study which will begin on the last Friday morning of this month.  It is based on the main character and clips from the “Lucy” series.  I’ve been previewing some of the material.  I have found great depth to the lessons which will be presented.  All ladies are invited to  attend and learn with us.

Missions – Heath Rohner of Re-Store said his greatest need is for shoes.  We are collecting gently used shoes to give him for his ministry in Amite.  If you have some shoes to share, drop them in a basket at FBC, Kentwood on Sundays or during the office hours during the week.  Our collection project for him next month will be school uniforms.  In the months following that we will collect jackets and blankets.  What a blessing you will be to some people in our area!

Hymn of the Day – “Trust and Obey” – http://cyberhymnal.org/htm/t/r/trstobey.htm

I hope you will take time to listen to this simple hymn which has a powerful message.  May the tune “follow” you around today as a reminder of how we are to live our lives.

Have a blessed day.  Be a blessing to someone today.  Let’s let His light shine brightly, even brighter that last night’s blue moon, for Jesus!
