Missions

We’ve been emphasizing the need for peanut butter for God’s Storehouse in Amite.  Yesterday, labels with the Scripture, John 3:16, were applied to the jars.  A wonderful problem was discovered.  We had more jars than labels.  I will see to it we soon have more labels, so keep on bringing peanut butter (to the area under the stairway at the office entrance to FBC,K).  Thanks for being so responsive to a need.  This emphasis will continue all month.

“God Will Take Care of You”

http://nethymnal.org/htm/g/w/gwiltake.htm

This has been my “go-to” song of assurance for about fifty years.  It means as much to me today as it always has.  Things never get too difficult for God.  He always wants the best for me!

Rain!  Rain was needed in our area.  God provided it.  Someone else sent the phone message at 1:00 A.M. that there is a flash flood watch in areas to the south of here.  A phone alert in the middle of the night will certainly get you up!  I’m thankful for the rain and the alert for people who may have needed to get up and become aware of their rain situation.  I’m also thankful not to live in a low area.  I pray  that people to the south of here will be aware of their situation and even if flooding happens they will know that “God Will Take Care of (Them) You”.

Third Thursday

Thursday, at 6:30 P.M., we will have our Third Thursday meeting at the cabin.  You are invited to join us.  Since the month of May started on a Thursday, the meeting comes earlier in the month than usual.  Don’t miss this opportunity to be blessed.

There is a man in our area who spends ALL DAY every Saturday studying his Bible so he will be prepared to teach a class on Sunday.  He wants to be prepared and do God’s will as he prepares to teach.  May we all have a greater willingness to learn what God has for us each week!

Have a great day of preparation for the Lord’s day!
