Tuesday Afternoon

From your computer you can surely see my smile because of attending the Senior Adult Revival in Roseland this morning. How wonderful it was to be with other Christians to worship God! It is wonderful to have so many Christian friends together in one building. I am looking forward to the service at Grangeville tomorrow.

From Charlene Blades

The Needham family (J.B., Roseanne, Jed and Jaycee Dell) are doing great. Jaycee Dell is gaining weight and keeping everyone on their toes.
They even made it to early service church on Sunday.
Roseanne is going to have a hernia repair surgery next Monday (outpatient) Keep her and her doctor in your prayers.
We are so thankful for our amazing family and friends. And our heavenly father who has blessed our family.
THANK YOU everyone for your prayers!

that the word of the Lord may run swiftly and be glorified,

~2 Thessalonians 3:1~

Yesterday, the stent went well for Mr. Pat Hoosier to open a blocked duct. Cancer was found in the pancreas. This allows the doctors to pay attention to an area that had been undetected up to this point. The girls are now asking for prayer for their mother who will see a doctor about scheduling surgery on her hands. She put their daddy first, but now it is time for her to get some needed attention.

Yesterday morning, the senior adult revival at Line Creek Baptist Church was wonderful. Music, preaching, fellowship, and food – what a great way for Christians from all over Two Rivers Association to gather together! Tomorrow, the revival will be at Roseland.

Another association meeting was held at 1:00 Monday afternoon at East Fork. The WMU heard from Kay Bennett who works on our behalf in New Orleans. Her ministry has taken on a lot of new responsibility working to help stop human trafficking. We learned so much! Our hearts were touched by the stories she told of people who had been helped.

Missions – Don’t forget to collect usable children’s shoes, school uniforms, jackets, and blankets for those who might need them. Place your donations inside the main or office entrances to FBC,K. I will make another delivery to Re-Store soon.

“Do not be deceived, God is not mocked;

for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap.

For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption,

but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting life.”

Austin Rose (from his mother, Lisa)

Had a successful week of chemo and we get to go home tomorrow (Sunday) This was his last regular round!! We come back in two weeks for the first maintenance treatment. It’s hard to believe but he is so close to done.
Side effect of these particular drugs is a sunburn like affect on the palms of the hands and bottoms of the feet. Luckily not quite as painful as last time. Ice packs help and it will all be a memory soon enough. — with Austin Rose.

You have one more week to get food to your local Baptist church in our area for the Fall Food Round-Up for the La. Baptist Children’s Home. Remember the 16th. I previously posted a list of their needs, so look back on The Prayer Link to see what they need the most.

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”.

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.
