Blessed is the one who

perseveres under trial because,

having stood the test,

that person will receive

the crown of life

that the Lord has promised

to those who love him.

Now is the time to buy school supplies.  They are on sale now.  You can purchase fifty (50) spiral notebooks for less than $10.00.  We also need markers, crayons, glue sticks, pencil sharpeners, pencil boxes, etc.  Bring your items to my Sunday School classroom.  Thanks so much.  One day, we may be reading a Samaritan’s Purse story about a child who came to know the Lord because of the pretty markers packed in Kentwood, LA.
