Thursday

Glory in his holy name;

let the hearts of those who seek the LORD rejoice.

~1 Chronicles 16:10~

Times of heartache are opportunities to help people in physical and spiritual ways.  This is certainly one of those times in Louisiana!

 

 

I have four people who have been very sick I want to suggest you pray for today.

  • Sherman Cutrer has been moved from Southwest to North Oaks Rehab.  He’s in room 1717 and can have visitors from 4 PM to 9 PM.
  • Annette Williams Kaufman, daughter of Rufus and Margie, has had stomach issues for several years.  She had again been admitted to the hospital for this problem.
  • Mary Estelle Raborn has been sick for quite a while.  She’s in specialty hospital in Hammond.  Please say a prayer to her this morning,
  • Justin Lambert continues to make small steps of improvement.  He recently got a wheelchair that allows him to spend some time outside.  Getting outside that hospital for brief periods of time surely was a boost to his spirits.

Southern Baptist Disaster Relief has completed a number of jobs in our area and is working again today in several places.  You are welcome to join them at 7 A.M. any morning at The Lord’s Church.  You do not have to be Baptist to receive help.  You only need to complete an application and have your problem evaluated.  People are coming from many churches.  People from many areas are giving.  People from our area are benefitting.  Don’t miss the opportunity to be blessed.

Find some opportunities and take advantage of this historic flooding to make an eternal difference in/for the people of our communities.

Operation Christmas Child – David – https://www.samaritanspurse.org/operation-christmas-child/shoebox-stories-david-and-a-toy-car/

Let’s name some of David’s life-changing blessings: a church available to his family, parents who took him to church, a shoebox, coming to America, another church, his educational opportunities, etc.

“My interest in how things—and people—can be restored to new life probably started with that toy car.”

“Just as there are many parts to our bodies,

so it is with Christ’s body.

We are all parts of it,

and it takes every one of us to make it complete,

for we each have different work to do.

So we belong to each other,

and each needs all the others.”

Sunday

But Jesus remained silent and gave no answer.

Again the high priest asked him,

“Are you the Messiah, the Son of the Blessed One?”  

“I am,” said Jesus.

“And you will see the Son of Man

sitting at the right hand of the Mighty One

and coming on the clouds of heaven.”  

~Mark 14: 61-62~

 

Sherman Cutrer is doing well.  His arm was not broken as first thought.

Becky Bridges Wilson had surgery yesterday.  She had to have a leg amputated just above the knee.  Pray for good results.

 

Gospel Opry:  David and I finally went to this last night.  It was very good.  On the second Tuesday of each month some very talented musicians gather to  perform.  It was like an extended church service.  The Kentwood area was very well represented.  We talked with members of Osyka, East Fork, Greenlaw, FBC, K, and New Zion churches last night.                             The house band was composed of some very talented musicians.  The steel guitar player was a first cousin to David’s sister-in-law, Janie of Holden.  The keyboard player was the nephew of Mr. Harlon Toney of New Zion.  The harmonica/guitar player was Bubba Roberts of Kentwood.  The band was very talented.  At the end, they took requests and played  every song requested without any music.                                                                                                   The next opry will be Saturday, May 14, 2015.  They begin with open mic at 5:45 and begin with the concert at 6:45.  A concession stand is available, so you can get your supper right there.  The location is 3062 Hwy. 98, McComb.  Take the south McComb exit and travel west.  The location is on the right not too far past Bus Supply.
