Students learn Bible truths in retrofitted school bus – http://www.bpnews.net/53021/students-learn-bible-truths-in-retrofitted-school-bus

This is a “think outside the box” idea and a great one! The Bible tells us to go and to tell. I think that is what this article is about.

Where will we go? Who will me tell? God doesn’t expect all of us to cross oceans to other countries! He does expect us to go and to tell. The article surely describes going and telling. Let’s pray for the continued success of BREAK. Now, what can we do in our area and on our scale? Who will give? Who will tell?

LORD, you establish peace for us;

all that we have accomplished you have done for us.

~Isaiah 26:12~

I’m thankful for God who loves us and helps you find peace on the difficult days we all have.

I’m going to be brief this morning because I have a long list of things to accomplish today.

I am thankful for a better rest last night. I am thankful to wake up in my own house. I am thankful to open the refrigerator at my own home. I’m even thankful for the sound of my washing machine this morning. Being in the hospital for a few days certainly makes you appreciate being back at home. I’m thankful that David and I are back at home. He lost fifteen pounds of fluid in less than a week. I know he will feel better today. Please continue to remember David in your prayers.

Bro. Darryl Miller’s morning post:

Good morning. Today we will be recognizing our graduating seniors. Remember to pray for these young women and men as they continue their journey through life.
Also, we will have a Deacon ordination service for Ernest (Joe) Cutrer at 6pm. Ordination council at 4:30 this afternoon in the sanctuary.
As our graduates start to move out on their own, a lesson that I hope that they learn early is this- The little things in life make a big difference. A little of God’s blessings will have an impact of “goodness” in their lives that they can feel and others can see. Unfortunately, the same is true of a little sin. A small seemingly unnoticeable sin entering their lives will have a negative impact that they can feel and others can see. In order to truly be blessed we have to keep all sin at a distance.
Join us at FBC Kentwood this morning for Sunday School at 9:15 followed by Worship at 10:30. Our scripture passage will be Numbers 6:22-27. We will go Facebook Live at 10:30 for those that can’t be here in person.

I hope you will be in church somewhere this morning, but if you can’t, find a good pastor on television, computer, or i-phone.

Anna Lee
