Category: Third Thursday

Saturday

For the grace of God has appeared

that offers salvation to all people.

~Titus 2:11~

We saw Beth Brabham Thursday.  She had problems last weekend and had to return to the doctor to Monday.  This added several more weeks to her recovery.  Pray for her to feel better soon.

We saw the Harrells yesterday.  Mr. Phillip and “Miss” Annie Bell both look good and seemed to enjoy our visit.  We certainly did enjoy seeing them.

Mrs.  Anne Hurst is better and is able to get out and about again.

Phil Connelly is recovering and is back at work in a limited way.

Mrs. Mildred Birch is wearing a back brace.  This seems like all the doctors can do for her.  The back problem and brace are not slowing her down very much.  Pray for this lady as she “keeps on keeping on”!

 

Read the Bible – Galatians 3-4 & Psalm 6.

 

Operation Christmas Child Drop-off Week begins Monday.  FBC, Kentwood is a drop-off location again this year.  Monday, our hours will be 10:00 – 12:00.  Sue Connelly is my co-coordinator.  One, if not both, of us will be present each day. Volunteers are needed to help pack the big boxes.  If you have not already done so, please sign up to help.  The sign-up list is on the table under the balcony stairwell.

 

Ladies and girls, be sure your calendar is marked for the Lottie Moon Christmas Tea which will be at FBC, Kentwood.  It will begin at 2 P.M.  We will serve Lottie Moon tea cakes, tea of various flavors, lots of finger foods, and lemonade.  The tables in the fellowship hall will be decorated by ladies from various churches in the association.  Children from different churches will sing.  Both girls and teens will be serving us.  Rachel Robbins, a former missionary, will be our guest speaker.  You don’t want to miss this special event!

 

Stamped Christmas cards can be turned in at the Tea.  The cards will be given to the inmates at both St. Helena and Tangipahoa jails.  Be sure you purchase religious cards to help share the Good-News to the inmates and their families.

 

Third Thursday at the Cabin will be next week.  We meet at 6:30.  Ya’ll come!

Mrs. Juanita Pritchett has a pacemaker and is back at home.  I forgot to share this update from Chester earlier, but it is never too late to thank God.

Saturday night, Two Rivers will hold a Harvest Revival meeting at Greenlaw Baptist Church at 6:30 P.M.

 

The Third Thursday Gathering at the Cabin last night was special in several ways.  We had our customary great meal, a first-time guest who came with Gibby and Katera McMillan, a 90 year old Mr. Harlon Toney making my newly tuned piano talk, talented James Rimes sharing about his songs before he sang each one, guests from six churches, and a devotional led by David that tied the whole night together.  It was another fantastic night in the cabin!  We’ll meet again next month.

 

Friday morning Bible study meets at 10 this morning in the FBC fellowship hall.

Why, my soul, are you downcast?

Put your hope in God,

for I will yet praise him,

my Savior and my God.

Lampton Dean Titus, son of Tedd and Kayla, had surgery yesterday. This morning, doctors are working hard to control/correct a problem.  Your prayers are needed.

Update on Lampton Dean…….. I know it’s early but please send lots of prayers!!! The doctor just told us that Lampton is starting to lose blood flow in one of his main arteries in his groin/leg where they have one of his main IV lines at. He was starting to lose color in his leg and it’s starting to get really cold so it has to be moved now!! They are having to move it cause if they leave it he could lose his leg. They are going to be doing a small procedure to move that IV line with risk of possible blood clots. We will be going to see him in a little bit whenever they let us. We will update everyone as soon as we know how everything went and how he’s doing. Please send lots of prayers that everything goes smoothly and that the feeling and color come back in his leg!! Our little man has already been through enough!! 💙💛#LamptonStrong💛💙

You, LORD, are my lamp;

the LORD turns my darkness into light.

~2 Samuel 22:29~

 

Jordan Hawkins, a football player who was injured Friday night, is better and back at home Saturday afternoon.  I’ve always been happy to hear that those who left a campus in an ambulance were able to return home with less serious injuries than first considered.  Thank you, God, for Jordan’s good report yesterday and for those of all schools who had such injuries.  Seeing both sets of players gather in one hurdle and praying speaks highly of the schools, the families, the coaches, and the players.

 

Please pray for Gloria Gill again.  Her A-fib has returned.

 

Rev. Wendell Rhodus will be preaching this morning at FBC, Kentwood at 10:30.  I’m looking forward to hearing him again.

Tomorrow morning, the Two Rivers WMU will meet at Spring Creek Baptist Church.  All are invited to come hear Rev. Don Meadows of Taylor Creek Baptist Church speak about the Two Rivers compassion ministry.  Come get some hints for your church.

 

Thursday night, at 6:30, we will gather at the cabin for our monthly Third Thursday gathering.  If you have not been before, I invite you to come join us.  For more information, you can contact me through this site or you can call us.

 

Pray for me as I share missions with the children who are new members of FBC, Kentwood.  Pray I can teach them in an informative, yet fun way.  Mainly, I pray they learn information about missions that will stick with them and influence them for the rest of their lives.

 

“Beneath the Cross of Jesus”
