Saturday

The crowds that went ahead of him

and those that followed shouted,

“Hosanna to the Son of David!”

“Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!”

“Hosanna in the highest!”

Annie Armstrong Easter Offering 

Frozen Food for Families

Take some time to put up some food in your freezer to share tomorrow or look through what you have on hand to share.  Bring it to my Sunday School classroom at FBC, K  before Sunday School in the morning.  The food will be given to the families tomorrow. Thanks for helping meet some needs.

Please add John Orr to your prayer list.  He was married to my Aunt Naomi.  Early Friday morning he thought he had a new heart problem, but tests yesterday did not show a heart issue.  He will have gall bladder tests next week.

Also, add Mr. Frankie Gehringer if he is not already on your list.  In addition to his ongoing problems, he got tripped and has an ankle problem.

I hope this Easter season contains time to recognize and celebrate what Jesus did for each of us and how that affects us today.   I hope you also have an opportunity to share/pass on the meaning of the Easter season.

Friday

Let the little children come to Me,

Camp Living Waters

Monica Maddox, Director of Volunteers, is thrilled and overwhelmed with your contributions for the five trailers and for your willingness to prepare a meal for a group of Campers on Mission who will be there to work March 23-27.  It not too late to call and volunteer.

We are asking that your church or group provide either lunch or supper for this group (40 – 60) Monday-Thursday. I will know for certain on Sunday, March 22 the total number.

We will provide the drinks.

Lunch is served at noon. Lunch is usually something light, such as soup, sandwiches, or hamburgers. Side items have included chips, salad, or fresh fruit.

Supper is served at 5:30. In the past supper has been jambalaya, spaghetti, pork, fried chicken and even pizza. Side dishes that compliment the main course are appreciated. We can provide the garden salad items.

Desserts are not needed as they usually bring enough on their own.

In order for a meal not to be duplicated, please let me know what you wish to provide as soon as possible. I would like to have the meal schedule completed by Feb 16h, 2015.

We also are asking for volunteers to come to the camp and help out with the breakfast meal. This would be Monday – Thursday also. I need 2 volunteers each day from 6:30 – 8:30 a.m. There is no serving line, but I would need help with clean up.
If you have any questions, please call my home. 985-345-3315.

Austin Rose update written by him mother, Denise:

I know it has been a while since I posted but “no news is good news”. Austin has been having very good days. We are almost finished with this 3rd round of chemo. And “if the good LORD is willing and the creek don’t rise” WE WILL BE GOING HOME THIS WEEK!!! So Ready!

Patricia Nicolosi Manzella (Pat) formerly from Hammond was involved in a serious car accident on July 15th and is in critical but stable condition at University Hospital in Jackson Mississippi. Pat currently lives in Kentwood and works at Sunflower. She needs your help. We are organizing a blood drive in her name at the blood center in Hammond. Please donate blood and or platelets on her behalf. The family appreciates everyone and thanks you in advance.  Mrs. Pat is in need of blood donations. If you can help, please contact the local Blood Center in Hammond.   (Mrs. Manzella lives on Bethel Road.)

Pray for the ladies who will be working to organize material in the library at the associational missions office the next couple of days.  We hope to make it more usable for everyone and a lot easier for the secretary and others to access materials.

While shopping this week, keep your eyes open for 100% cotton or flannel fabric that can be used for children’s hospital gowns.  Patters to look for are sports related, cartoons, holidays, and other things you think children will like.  There are two drop boxes at FBC, Kentwood.  Susan, the wonderful lady who sews the gowns, will be in Kentwood that day to supervise a “cutting party”, so bring the fabric in by Sunday.

Girls, youth, and ladies will be donating purses for us to fill and give away through the Re-Store shop in Amite.  We will need lots of things to go in the purses to make them special – pens, small notebooks, files, tissues, reading material, etc.  We hope to have enough to make each purse like a gift box.  Christian literature would be wonderful.  Tracts will also be included.

Boys and girls from several area churches are at R.A. and G.A. camp.  Pray for them and their leaders that they may all grow in the Lord.

Dennis Walker has had a problem with an ulcer.  Pray his treatment works and nothing else in medically necessary.

Johnny Dufrene has survived the tests and is now home.  The problem he had seems to be a combination of factors, drug interactions, weight loss, an extended trip out of the country, COPD, etc.  Pray he doesn’t have any additional problems.  Susan is ready to sew hospital gowns!

Area churches are planning to unite with many other churches in a program called, My Hope, America by Rev. Billy Graham.  Pray that we will be receptive to this and eager to participate in sharing God’s Word.
