Monday

“For the eyes of the LORD run to and fro

throughout the whole earth,

to show Himself strong

on behalf of those whose heart is loyal to Him.”

~2 Chronicles 16:9a, NKJV~

I was given information about some area churches yesterday. I trust you will be thankful for these reports.

“We fed over 200 folks today at homecoming. They got a spiritual meal, courtesy of Gregg Potts and a down home southern meal too. It was nice to see so many and enjoy our newly remodeled fellowship hall and our new kitchen. Thanks to all who attended EFBC homecoming today. And for everyone who worked so hard on it. And a big thanks to Bro mike for all the hours he has put in at the church on the remodel.”
New Zion Baptist Church had five (5) decisions yesterday morning!
Roseland had a live band from their membership yesterday and looks forward to hearing more from them.
Spring Creek Baptist Church began a new Sunday School class yesterday “that will meet in the Grand Foyer of the new building. The goal of this class is to dig a little deeper than what is usually possible in a normal class and to begin their journey they are beginning with the study Experiencing God Knowing And Doing The Will Of God.”
Bro. Jonathan and Ashley Statham were honored at a pounding yesterday at Kentwood.

Operation Christmas Child Quotes

“My neighborhood church collected items during vacation bible school. I pick stuff up all year round and have a bin full to fill shoebox. This year I took my 5 year old nephew to the store to pick up some toys he thought other children might like. He was so excited to take his bag of toys, school supplies, and hygiene items and donate them!” – Melanie S.
“My daughter Arianna was crowned National American Miss Georgia Princess Queen and has chosen to use her title to collect donations and pack boxes for Operation Christmas. Arianna is only six years old, but has a huge heart for other kids. When she heard there were kids who don’t get gifts she wanted to send all her gifts to them.” – Gina B.
“I thank God for the shoe box I received full of things I needed, but the most important gift was that I got to know Jesus and accepted Him as my Lord in my life. It was the first time I attended Church. Then, I was invited to study the class The Greatest Journey and I was very excited to have my own book to work on. It helped me grow and know Jesus’ life. I realized I had to change my behavior because of Jesus’ love. At home we have a lot of problems, but after I started to talk the Word of God to my parents, something started to happen because they started to come with me to church.” Maria Jose
“My daughter’s church is very involved in this ministry. She and her daughters, 10 and 11, look for things all year. I think they get as much, or more, from this ministry as those receiving the boxes!” – Jo Anne G.

The Senior Adult Revival for Two Rivers Association will be Monday – Wednesday.

9:15 – Fellowship
9:30 – Choir Practice
10:00 – Service followed by lunch.
Different churches are providing the meal each day, so you do not have to cook for a pot luck lunch each day.

Hope Center Volunteers

I know of volunteers working at the center Monday and Tuesday afternoons and Thursday. Feel free to join them. “Do Something” is the theme of the Georgia Barnett Offering this year. We can all contribute to missions in our area by volunteering.

Frozen Food to a Family

The delivery was made and the food was so greatly appreciated. You sent food and love in those quart size bags yesterday. Start filling bags for the first Sunday of next month.

May God bless each one who makes the effort to help in any of these efforts.
