Homebound Lord’s Supper – Today at 4:30 member of FBC, Kentwood will divide into groups and travel to various places to visit some of our homebound.  This must be an awesome blessing to those who have the Lord’s Supper brought to them.  It is also a true blessing to be a part of this just by being present.  The homes to be visited and the deacon leaders of each group have already been established.  Pray for this to be meaningful to all.

Missions – The end of the month is fast approaching.  It will soon be time to deliver shoes to Re-Store in Amite.  Has your family contributed gently used shoes?  What about the children, grandchildren, nieces, and nephews in your family?  This would be a good time to work with other family members to go through closets and select shoes to share.  Collection baskets are near the main and office entrances of the church.  Please help the baskets to overflow with blessings for others.

Our next project for Re-Store will be school uniforms.  If there are any children who have outgrown their old uniforms and you are not passing them down to a family member, please begin to deliver them to the church to the same collection baskets by next Sunday.  If you are like me and have no local children who wear uniforms, please begin to pray for the families who will receive the uniforms.  Pray their hearts will be touched because others have shared of their abundance so the children of their families could be blessed through us.

Friday at 10 A.M., we will be beginning a new series of Bible studies based on the “Lucy” television program.  A  small segment will be the basis of the study each week.  There is no homework from one meeting to the next, but you are certainly free to take notes and to study deeper as God leads you.  I hope to see ladies from several different churches present each week.  I think studying the Bible together will bless all of us.  There is a sign-up sheet at the church.  You can also contact me in person or just show up Friday.  Come planning to laugh and to use that to evaluate your own life.  There will be no cost for this study.

The monthly “young” ladies’ birthday party will be Tuesday at Nyla’s at 11:00.  We will honor those who have August birthdays and have a good time eating and visiting.

Be a part of the Bible Study at your church today.  God’s plan is for is to meet with other Christians and to study His  Word together.

Have a great Lord’s Day!  Make this the most special day of the week.

“Enter through the narrow gate.

For the gate is wide and the road is broad that leads to destruction,

and there are many who go through it.

How narrow is the gate and difficult the road that leads to life,

and few find it.”

I thought you might want to read Boyd Hatchel’s Facebook post and a comment by Jennie.

So grateful for individuals who spend their vacation time and money to come where we live. When their talents, experience, and sacrifice intersect with God’s power, lives are changed forever. It’s happened before, but it happened again this week. Using Upward basketball and a day camp, children and their parents heard once again God loves them, forgives them, and has great plans for their lives. When was the last time you left the known and familiar for the sake of God’s kingdom?

What a GREAT group! Thank you, Williams Boulevard Baptist Church!!!

David and I have enjoyed being at WBBC and seeing their awesome Upward basketball program.  They are certainly being used by God to reach out to many in the greater New Orleans area and now in the Europe.  May God continue to reach others through WBBC.

Speaking of Facebook, please read “Prayers for Eli”.  He’s having some difficult days.  I’m sure the family would appreciate your prayers.

Continue to pray for the local ladies at the Beth Moore conference as they meet today and travel home later.  May Bath Moore be able to inspire them with God’s Word today.

Mary Criswell suggested I post this obituary.  Thanks, Mary.
