We know that Jesus goes with us each step of each day.  Let’s let others know that by where we go, what we say, and what we do.  It may the the hope someone is searching for.

 

Yesterday, for the second time, I was asked if men could attend the “Lucy” Bible Study.  I don’t have a problem with that.  We will meet at 10:00 this morning in the fellowship hall of FBC,K.

 

Be aware of God’s plans for you today.  Don’t miss any opportunity!

Thursday

“Yours, LORD, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the splendor and the majesty,

for everything in the heavens and on earth belongs to You.

Yours, LORD, is the kingdom,

and You are exalted as head over all.”

Pray for Smiley Conerly as he has heart tests and learns what he needs to do.

Pray for Jeff Tolar of Florida as he continues to have back problems.

Pray for Betty Taylor as she sees her cardiologist Friday.  Pray for her mother, Mrs. Ruby Ziggler, and family as they adjust to Mrs. Ziggler being at rehab in McComb.  They cannot stay with her as they could when she was hospitalized.

Debi and George Bales’ son, David, has seen doctors all week.  They have learned the cancer is deep but not the stage of the cancer.  David will have surgery Friday of next week with some treatments scheduled to follow. Pray for the whole family as they face this “journey” they were not planning.

Robert and Ora Lee Wilson’s great grandson had a “seizure”-type problem.  Additional tests have shown nothing for which to be concerned. Thank God for this good report.  Pray for Ora Lee as she faces surgery on her leg.

Mrs. Bonnie Strickland and Debi Bales mother, “Miss” Lucy, will both be moving to nursing homes to receive the care they need.

Consider what I say, for the Lord will give you understanding in everything.”

Mike Moore, husband of Robin Wilson Moore, went for a check-up yesterday.

Mike just left the doctor’s office in Memphis. The tumor has not shrunk any, but it also has not grown. The doctor is more concerned about tumors growing, so he told Mike not to worry about a thing and to come back in 6 months! Thanks so much for the prayers!

Today’s Hymn of the Day – “Little Brown Church in the Vale” – http://cyberhymnal.org/htm/l/i/littlebc.htm

 

I remember first hearing this hymn at Big Creek Church of Christ.  I was amazed with both the hymn and the voices that blended so well without any musical instruments.  It’s been one of my favorites since that night about fifty years ago.  We know it today as “The Church in the Wildwood”.

Tomorrow, Tuesday, we will meet at the church at 10:00 to organize and pray over the donations of shoes and uniforms for Re-Store in Amite.  Then, the donations will be delivered along with some cards for the counter that help point people to Jesus.  If you have shoes, especially shoes for children, and uniforms of any size or color, it’s not too late.  Leave them inside the office or main door of FBC, Kentwood. We’ll make another delivery later.  Also, begin collecting blankets and jackets that you wish to contribute.

The truck from the Louisiana Baptist Children’s Home will be in Kentwood a week from today to pick up food items for the cottages there. You have one week to get your donation ready.

Don’t forget the “Lucy” Bible study on Friday mornings at 10:00.  Each lesson stands independent of the other lessons, so if you miss one, you will be okay to do the next one without any problem.  The unique feature about this study is there is no homework and no cost.

In a couple of weeks, a Beth Moore Bible study will begin on Monday nights.  Sign up now, so a book will be ordered for you.

~1 Timothy 7:15b, HCSB~

Brandy Potts want me to clarify the the EFBC children’s choir rehearsal she posted about is for Sunday evenings.

Yes, Austin Rose did make it home to march in with his high school band in Georgia.  Thank God Austin was able to have his treasured experience with his band.  Let’s pray he will get to have more treasured experiences before his next hospitalization.  I thank God for giving Austin such a great support system.

There were twelve ladies at the Lucy Bible study.  We all laughed and learned.  The next Lucy Bible study will be Friday morning at 10:00.  At that time we will discuss worrying.  This study will be independent of what we have already done.  I hope you will come join us.  Of course, if you have never worried about anything, you don’t need to come.

“. . . The urgent request of a righteous person is very powerful in its effect.”

The last I heard from Kayla Johnson was that she was doing well.  She is not expected to have any future problems.  After spending the night, she is expected to come home today.

Pray for Rufus and Margie Williams.  He’s at the Heart Hospital in LaComb to complete the procedure of taking care of his blockages.

Thanks to all who contributed shoes for Re-Store in Amite.  Even though our official shoe drive is over, shoes can be brought to the church at any time and placed in or near our collection baskets.  The biggest need is for shoes for children.  Bro. Heath will be glad to have them at any time.  We will meet to organize and deliver shoes on Tuesday, September 3rd at 9:00 A.M.  Come join us to receive a special blessing as we pray over each pair of shoes.  Our September collection project for Re-Store will be school uniforms of any size and for any school.  Items can be placed in the collection baskets near the office entrance and the main doors of the sanctuary.  Our October and November collections for Re-Store will be jackets and blankets. Those of you who like to get an early start now know what to work on.
Individuals or classes who wish to help with Lara’s Gowns for Smiles are encouraged to by five or more yards on a solid color of 100% cotton fabric.   Suggested colors will include red, green, blue, pink, purple, white and any neon colors you find.  We will wash the fabric and set a date to cut bias strips and join them so bias tape for the gowns can be made.  This is much more economical than buying packs of bias tape.  Thanks to Peggy Alford for making our first L-O-N-G roll of bias tape.
