Friday Morning Bible Study – Romans 11

 

 

VBS begins Sunday night with a kick-off and follows with classes Monday – Friday from 8:30-11:30.  Our theme is “Shipwrecked”.   Contact the church office to pre-register and to purchase a t-shirt.

 

 

Children in Action – In missions, children are taught there are four aspects of missions, learn, pray, give, and do.  Last night our class (of all girls last night) untangled hundreds of necklaces, sorted, and packaged beads that have been donated for Operation Christmas Child.  We left our regular schedule to “do” missions!  Most of these beads will be used as fillers for shoeboxes when they arrive in Dallas.                                                      We will be working on lots of doing in the next weeks and months.  I hope you have June 16th marked on your calendar.  We will meet in the fellowship hall from 9-12 that morning to work on the “do” aspect of missions some more.  EVERYONE is invited to participate!

 

 

 

When we have the next WMU meeting in July, we will focus on doing.  We will have tables set up with various churches showing some of the items their members are creating to share in various mission projects.  For adults, there are the same four aspects of missions, learn, pray, give, and do.  We hope to learn from each others, so we can do more and thus share more.  I challenge each church in the association to show us what you are doing and teach someone else how they may can do the same.  Let’s share our ideas.  Let’s bring the children demonstrate and to learn.

He had a love for the outdoors and enjoyed hunting and fishing. Steve’s true love was his family and always put them first in everything he did. He would help anyone in need, always shared his huge heart with anyone around and was never seen without his beautiful smile, he never left without a big hug and always said he loved you before leaving.

Update on Josiah Huckaby written by his mom, KK

Update: Josiah is doing really good. They put him on the home vent Friday, and it’s the one we have been requesting. He’s doing great with it! They are going to start a very very slow wean of his steroids. The goal is to get back down to a dose that they know he has done well with. Cardiology came by while I was there Tuesday. His echo that was done last Thursday showed his pulmonary hypertension pressures were stable & pretty much the same as his April echo. So now we are looking at weaning off 1 of his pulmonary hypertension meds. Thanks for the continued prayer. God is so good!!!

 

 

Update on Joanne Seymour written by a friend, Charlotte Bryant

Hi my family and Facebook friends, a much better update on Joanne for today. She and I talked on the phone and she sounded great and said she was feeling much better. Becky (her sister) is staying with her and taking great care of her. They both seemed as if they are having fun in the big Apple. Please continue Joanne in your prayers, they are definitely being felt and we all appreciate them. Thanks

Friday

If we are thrown into the blazing furnace, the God we serve is able to deliver us from it, and he will deliver us from Your Majesty’s hand. 

But even if he does not, we want you to know, Your Majesty, that we will not serve your gods or worship the image of gold you have set up.”

Daniel 3:17-18

I love to read about Daniel.  He had such high standards as he served God.

 

 

Mrs. Bessie Hayden got her portable oxygen yesterday and called to say she will be at Bible study this morning.  How many other places could she have chosen to to go today, but the desire of her heart is to be at church studying God’s Word.  We’ll be glad to have her back.

 

 

Pray for Debi Bales as she has  tests today at Cypress Point.  Pray for medical answers.
