Labor Day

“One thing I do:

Forgetting what is behind and reaching forward to what is ahead,

I pursue as my goal the prize promised by God’s heavenly call in Christ Jesus.”

~Philippians 3:13b-14, HCSB~

 

Devotional – Our Daily Bread – “Cupbearer to the King” – http://odb.org/

Tomorrow, Tuesday, we will meet at the church at 10:00 to organize and pray over the donations of shoes and uniforms for Re-Store in Amite.  Then, the donations will be delivered along with some cards for the counter that help point people to Jesus.  If you have shoes, especially shoes for children, and uniforms of any size or color, it’s not too late.  Leave them inside the office or main door of FBC, Kentwood. We’ll make another delivery later.  Also, begin collecting blankets and jackets that you wish to contribute.

The truck from the Louisiana Baptist Children’s Home will be in Kentwood a week from today to pick up food items for the cottages there. You have one week to get your donation ready.

Don’t forget the “Lucy” Bible study on Friday mornings at 10:00.  Each lesson stands independent of the other lessons, so if you miss one, you will be okay to do the next one without any problem.  The unique feature about this study is there is no homework and no cost.

In a couple of weeks, a Beth Moore Bible study will begin on Monday nights.  Sign up now, so a book will be ordered for you.

Today’s Hymn – “Blessed Assurance” –  http://cyberhymnal.org/htm/b/l/e/blesseda.htm

Be sure of read the comments above the lyrics.  What a sad, but interesting, story.  At least they recognized where their hope rested.

Have a great holiday!
