Last night, there was a celebration of ministry at FBC, Kentwood. Mr. Gerald Griffith was accepted into the church as a deacon who previously served in another church. Mr. Marty Simpson was ordained as a deacon. Mr. Wendell Rhodus and Mr. Michael Harrison received their licenses to the ministry. This was the first time I ever attended a service with multiple types of licenses. I’m so proud of all these men and thankful they have surrendered to do what God has called them to do. I was truly blessed just to be there.
March 12th will be the date for the next Women’s Ministry event, Mug ‘n’ Muffin, at FBC, Kentwood. There will be a planning meeting at 2 P.M. next Sunday for all ladies who would like to help.

Psalm 100 (NIV)
A psalm. For giving thanks.
1Shout for joy to the LORD, all the earth.
2Worship the LORD with gladness;
come before him with joyful songs.
3Know that the LORD is God.
It is he who made us, and we are hisa;
we are his people, the sheep of his pasture.
4Enter his gates with thanksgiving
and his courts with praise;
give thanks to him and praise his name.
5For the LORD is good and his love endures forever;
his faithfulness continues through all generations.
