Georgia Barnette – Day 7
Rebuilding Hope – 28 Building Projects in Houma Completed
“So far, 28 projects in the Houma area have been completed including homes, a church, and an associational office.”
Today’s Prayer Focus
Today, let’s thank God for the many Georgia Barnette projects we have learned about this week and realize they are a few of many projects we can be a part of by giving to the Georgia Barnette Offering. Even though the focus on this offering will end tomorrow, you can give to the offering at any time of the year. Let’s pray for adequate funds and workers to meet the needs, trained leadership to continue, and lives to be changed as homes, churches, etc. are being rebuild.
Louisiana Baptist Children’s Home
Tomorrow, the 17th, is the last day to give items needed to feed and meet other needs of many children during the coming year. Let’s help stock their huge pantry for all the cottages with food and other items that will be needed in the coming year. Your checks can also help by allowing them to buy items like meat, fruits, and vegetables. The food truck only comes once a year, so let’s make their stop in Kentwood worthwhile.
Children’s Christmas Program
The practices have begun. If you have a child, grandchild, niece, nephew, neighbor, etc. who would like to be in annual Christmas program, please get them to church on Sunday nights, 6:00 – 7:00 P.M. Our team of workers is well experienced and very excited about the children and the program they have chosen for this December. Practice will be on the second floor in the children’s area.
OCC Coming Events
October 14 – Packing of girl’s shoeboxes beginning at 9 A.M.
October 21 – Packing of boy’s shoeboxes beginning at 9:00 A.M.
November 13th – 20th – Our church will again serve as the collection center for all those collecting shoeboxes in our general area. Then, our boxes will be trucked to Dallas where they will be inspected before being shipped to children all around the world. The daily collection times vary, so be sure to check with the Samaritan’s Purse website to get the correct times. Also, by November, the church office will be able to give you the collection times.
The Lord’s Day
Tomorrow, FBC, Kentwood and many other churches in this area, will be prepared to receive you for any and all activities. We pray you will attend the church of your choice.
Associational Senior Adult Revival
The annual Two-Rivers Revival will be Monday – Wednesday. It certainly is good to visit, worship, and eat with many of our Christian friends. I hope you will join us if possible.
