TUESDAY

. . . and I have filled him with the Spirit of God, with wisdom, with understanding, with knowledge and with all kinds of skills—

Exodus 31:3

Thankfulness

David and I are safe and thankful the weather was not a problem for us. Our Demco power never went out. Today, we need to see if any of our friends/neighbors need any help. We all need to thank God for being with us and keeping us safe during the storm yesterday.

Read the Bible Every Day

  • May 14
  • Ruth 1:1 – 2:23
  • Psalm 50:1-5
  • Proverbs 13:16-17
  • John 1:1-23

Looking Ahead

We are looking forward to getting out in God’s beautiful countryside and purchasing more mulch for out shrubbery. I think that is helpful both in appearance and in holding moisture. I thank God we, mostly David, are able to do spring yard improvements.

OCC

We made a stop at the church yesterday to move some OCC donations from the fellowship hall to the OCC area. We also had some OCC purchases because Wanda ordered some items another class paid for. Thanks to all involved in finishing our count of red pens and sewing kits. Now, we will check the list and make our next mail order.

Placing orders is so different from our family orders to Sears! We also get our packages much quicker now. I thank God for all the improvements that have made OCC orders better than they were in the 50’s and 60’s.

Ladies who are interested in cutting out totes are invited to join us Saturday at the fellowship hall. Bring your pinking shears to do the cutting.

Annie Armstrong Offering for North America Missions

It’s not too late to give an offering to the mission projects of the Southern Baptist Convention. Working together we can accomplish so much, just as helping with OCC through Samaritan’s Purse.

Special Prayers for Our Children and Youth

School is ending this week for all our school age children. Let’s pray for them as the church moves into a summer schedule with lots of activities and camps on the schedule. May the summer activities draw out children and youth closer to the Lord.

It takes lots of church volunteers to have all these activities for the children and youth. Help as you are able. You’ll be surprised how beneficial this is in helping you if you volunteer.

I remember this phrase from years ago – “Each One Doing Their Part”. That’s true of so much we do in our churches.

Thank-you for reading, praying, and following through with helping. I wonder what God has in store for each of us as we serve Him this week.
