Georgia Barnette Offering for Louisiana Missions – Fast Facts – Learn about something worth investing in.  https://georgiabarnette.org/fast-facts/  We have already reached 25% of our goal!

 

We will celebrate a cowboy church service tonight during our missions time.  Round up your cowboys and cowgirls, get them dressed in their western duds, and hustle them over to  FBC, Kentwood at 6 P.M. tonight.

 

Operation Christmas Child – We are coming close to having all the items we need for our shoeboxes.  I have counted and counted again.  If you would like to purchase something, please give me a call.

  • Our Packing Party will be at 6 P.M., Saturday October 29th.  Everyone is invited to participate.
  • Samaritan’s Purse has invited FBC, Kentwood to become a collection/relay site for other churches to bring their boxes to a church closer to their own churches.  Northern Tangipahoa did not have a site, so we will do our best to help in this way too.
    • We will have a training session Saturday, October 1st at FBC, Kentwood from 10 A.M. – Noon.  Feel free to join us and sign up to help during collection week.
    • Collection week is November 14-21.  Then, the boxes will be taken on the the next step of their journey.  Eventually, they will arrive in the hands of boys and girls all around the world.  Each box will contain the items you pack plus some literature about Jesus in the language of the children who will be receiving the boxes.  Then, the children will have the opportunity to attend classes, similar to our Sunday School classes, to learn more about Jesus.  Just think, a box you help pack may be instrumental in leading them to a Christian life and an eternity in heaven one day.

 

 

The monthly “Young” Ladies Birthday Party will be Tuesday, September 27th at The Cafe at 11 A.M.  Join us if you are available.  Everyone chooses their own lunch.  We end with birthday cake.

 

The Friday Bible Study group will meet at 9:00 again this week in my Sunday School classroom.  Then, next week we will be back in the fellowship hall.

 

It’s great to be a part of so many meaningful activities.  I hope you are also involved in activities that have eternal rewards.  If not, join in somewhere or begin something new.

Operation Christmas Child – Thanks to

  • Those who have prayed for the shoeboxes packers and shoebox receivers.
  • Those who worked on organizing and counting materials for the boxes.
  • Another individual, this one from  outside our church, who wrote us a check for OCC.
  • Those who will help our church collect shoeboxes from others churches this year.
  • Those who will deliver the boxes to children around the world.

This is a big effort, but the enormous results are so worthwhile.  Join us in helping children receive a shoebox and be introduces to Jesus at the same time!

What will you do today to invest in the life of another person?  Pray? Visit?  Phone call?  Cook? Yard work? Etc.

What a blessing it was for us to have so many wonderful people at the cabin.  Eight different churches were represented!  Different churches, one God!  One eternal home!

I write these things to you who believe

in the name of the Son of God

so that you may know that you have eternal life.

This is the confidence we have in approaching God:

that if we ask anything according to his will,

he hears us.

~ John 5:13-14~
