Sunday

For God, who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,” made his light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of God’s glory displayed in the face of Christ.

~2 Corinthians 4:6~

 

 

 

Let’s start with a quote from Bro. Don Meadows.  “Don’t freak out.  Faith up!”

 

 

 

Speaking of faith, I have not found that any of our area churches are canceling services today.  They may make some adjustments, but so far, so closures.  If you feel your health is compromised, feel free to stay at home and enjoy a local service on your computer or phone.  That’s what we do.

 

 

 

 

Today is a National Day of Prayer for our country, called for by President Trump.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1v6wtnmJYIw

 

Put in special effort to help your family stay healthy.  

 

 

 

Please also say a special pray for Mrs. Ruby Dillon who would like some relief from neck pain.

 

 

 

James Morgan passed away yesterday.  Please be in prayer for his family.

 

 

 

Read the Bible in 2020 – March 14

  • Genesis 30:1-31:16
  • Matthew 10:1-23
  • Psalm 12:1-8

Laura  Lee Robertson had stomach surgery yesterday at Ochsner in New Orleans.  She did well and in recovering nicely.  Please pray her through the recovery and rehabilitation period.

 

 

 

  had fluid removed from his chest area yesterday.  He’s back at home and enjoying being there.

 

 

Please pray for the family of James Morgan.  Sometimes, decisions are tough!

 

 

 

Here is a quote I found yesterday.

“Keep calm and pray.  Don’t panic.  God is in control.”

 

 

 

So far, the following churches in our area have announced they will be having church Sunday.

  • Taylor Creek Baptist Church
  • Spring Creek Baptist Church

 

 

It is okay to stay at home if you are sick or medically compromised.  Think about others as well as yourself.  Pray for everyone.

Continue to pray for:

  • those who are sick
  • those who are well, but concerned about getting sick
  • those exposed to the new virus
  • those who are elderly (I cannot put an age with that word.)
  • those with a compromised immune system
  • those who are traveling
  • those who attend schools
  • those in the military, law enforcement, etc.
  • those who go into a compromised environment daily
  • What I am saying is to pray for everyone as decisions are being made about changing or not changing routines due to possible illnesses.  May medical professional, family, and God be in on any life-style changes being made.

I want to share this message from Mrs. Ann Chapman.

 Emma Chapman the daughter of Deloy & Krisa Chapman has been called, by God, to be part of a mission trip to Athens Greece. The group is, ‘The Hard Places Community,’ and will be working with survivors of sex trafficking. I ask you to be a prayer warrior for this group. They will be in Athens through March 15th. Emma ask for prayer that their witness will be effective and for their safety from the virus – especially for their reentry into the country (no delays) since she is a student at MS College. Emma is the granddaughter of Ann Chapman and the late Quincy Chapman.
May God bless each of you and thank you so much for your prayers. We know God is in control and expect many blessings through this outreach.
My love,
Ann Chapman

Thanks for sharing so we can pray for Emma and the others in the group.

2020 Annie Armstrong Louisiana Missions for North America

Day 1

When Dave and Mary Elliff left Arkansas, they left family and familiar culture to plant a new church in the Pacific Northwest.

“In the South, we have the Bible Belt. In Seattle, people call Roosevelt, the neighborhood where we’re planting, the Metaphysical Belt. 96% of the people here don’t attend an evangelical church,” says Dave. “It’s really well-known for New Age and Eastern religion.”

96% of the people here don’t attend an evangelical church.

The Elliffs launched Roots Community Church with just one other couple. They soon formed a core group through community outreach and by recruiting others who felt called to serve in Seattle.

“We started Roots Church in 2016. Since then, we’ve had to move three times because we keep outgrowing our space. That’s a good problem to have. Now, we have almost a hundred people who are a part of our church,” says Mary.

 

Prayer Request
  • For strength for the team as they work in a challenging,
    unreached community.
  • For hearts to be prepared for the gospel in Roosevelt.

 

 

Have a blessed Lord’s Day.

Anna Lee
