Prayer Focus

Today, as I think of those who are sick, I also think of those who give care to their loved ones. If you have worn those shoes, I know you understand the need for prayers. Today, please focus some of your time on CAREGIVERS!

Mission Updates

Operation Christmas Child is winding down for this year. Today, we will receive shoeboxes from more local churches and make a last transfer of shoeboxes to Hammond. I cannot tell you enough about how much I appreciate the volunteers in each of the area churches. You packed as many boxes as you could and taught people, young and older, about the shoebox needs, processes, purpose, and many rewards. In Kentwood, volunteers worked so hard and had fun at the same time all week. Our hardest days were the days when we all waited, but didn’t have any shoeboxes delivered. The fun, smiles, and laughter was continuous. Drop-off time at FBC, Kentwood will be 8:00 -10:00 A.M. this morning. I will plan to share some statistics with you tomorrow.

The Christmas card project is progressing well at the church. It is difficult to think of a loved one in prison and unable to be with family during holidays. Christmas is such a special holiday. We hope to emphasize that and help the inmates connect with some family members. Hopefully, the cards will serve as a reminder that “Jesus is the reason for the season!” At Kentwood, our deadline for submitting stamped cards in December 7th. THANKS to all of you who have already contributed.

We will soon be celebrating international missions and collecting funds for our yearly emphasis, the Lottie Moon Christmas Offering.

Two Rivers (St. Helena and Tangipahoa) WMU/Women of Mission will gather at Spring Creek Baptist Church on December 6th at 10 A.M.

There are other mission efforts at church, but I am not directly involved in them. I can probably give you names of some who are if you would like to contact them.

‘A Precious Promise’

Trust, hard to gain yet easy to lose—at least by the world’s standard. You may not have trust for a lot of people in this world but rest assured, you can trust in the God above.

Philippians 3:8 NKJV

Thankfulness – Day 24

Today, I am thankful for caregivers. They put others first 100% of the time. Let’s remember them as we pray today.
