Saturday

 Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High

    will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.

 I will say of the Lord,

“He is my refuge and my fortress,

    my God, in whom I trust.”

3Surely he will save you from the fowler’s snare

    and from the deadly pestilence.

4 He will cover you with his feathers,

    and under his wings you will find refuge;

    his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.

       ~Psalm 91:1-4~

 

Mr. Larry Watts passed away.  Please continue to pray for his family, friends, and co-workers.

Thursday

I tried for hours early this morning to post today, but the weather kept my satellite from working.

I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you
with power through his Spirit in your inner being,
so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith.
And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love,
may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people,
to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ,
and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—
that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.
Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more
than all we ask or imagine,
according to his power that is at work within us,
to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus
throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.  
~ Ephesians:16-21 ~

 

Please pray for Andy, Betty Taylor and for their son Tommy Mapes.  They all seem to have health issues not.  I know they will appreciate your prayers.

Gerald Miller of Mt. Hermon, brother-in-law of the late Mr. James Miller, continues to be at home at Mt. Hermon recovering from a stroke.

Missions Opportunity

You are invited to FBC, Greensburg to learn about the Annie Armstrong Week of Prayer for North American missions.  The theme this year is “Here I Am/Send ME”.  We will meet at 10 and end with a potluck lunch.  Everyone is invited to come.

  •      Did you realize 33% of the people in the South are unchurched?
  •      Did you realize 73% of the people in Canada are unchurched?
  •      Did you realize 90% of the people in western states are unchurched?

Even if you cannot attend the meeting this morning, I hope you will want to support the efforts to change the statistics I just listed.  You can do this at any Southern Baptist church.  One hundred percent on the money given will be used  for that purpose.

Have a marvelous Monday.  Remember to pray the prayer that is always perfect. “Thy will be done”.
