Grant S. Day, a beloved member of the Bethel Baptist Church, was a man who lived life to the fullest. A true outdoorsman, he found his greatest joy in hunting and fishing.

He had a deep love for his phone and was known to call friends and family at all hours of the night. Grant’s love for bluegrass music was contagious; he would often sing for anyone who would listen. The family extends a special thank you to the dedicated staff of the St. Helena Parish Nursing Home for their compassionate care.

Personal Prayer Lists
Today, let’s update our personal prayer lists and pray for those listed as we do so.
This Helps Me
A few weeks ago I suggested you write the names of some of your favorite hymns/songs on small pieces of paper and post them throughout your home or office. I don’t know how many of you did so, but I did. Today, I want to say that it was a good plan for me. As I go about each day, I run into those hymn titles on doors, door handles, etc. It reminds me of God as I focus on the words and their meaning to me.
Terrific Thursday
As we live our daily lives today, I hope we can deepen and share our faith. Blessing and encouraging others besses us and encourages us first.
