FRIDAY

For the LORD watches over the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked leads to destruction

Psalms 1:6

Prayer Focus

Today let’s pray for boys and girls who attended VBS (one or more days). Pray they learned about God’s Word and are able to attend church regularly now to learn more and more. I pray many made, or will make, a decision to follow Him the rest of their lives. Thank God for all the effort the people of each church have put into the lives of boys and girls this summer.

Damien W. Thornton, of Zachary, Louisiana, passed away at home on Tuesday, July 16, 2024 at the age of 46.  He was born in Baton Rouge, Louisiana on July 13, 1978. Damien was an avid deer and turkey hunter and took great satisfaction in showcasing his many trophies to all his friends and family. Most importantly, he was a loving and caring husband and father. It was his two precious daughters that brought him the most joy in life.
