“We give thanks to You, God;

we give thanks to You,

for Your name is near.

People tell about Your wonderful works.”

~Psalm 75:1, HCSB~

Senior Adult Revival – Tuesday was good too!  I’m looking forward to this morning in Greensburg.  It all begins at 9:15 with plenty of coffee, treats, friends, hugs, good music, and wonderful preaching.  There will also be enough food to feed half of Greensburg!  God blessed the gathering Monday and Tuesday.  I’m sure He will be back today.

Hope Center – The news on the air condition is not good.  Now, the expected date for installation is Friday.  Work in going on there anyway.  I will be there after the revival today and again at 8:00 in the morning.  Come join us.  The work is easier and more fun when others are there.  I know God will bless our efforts!  I have a new request, coat hangers (new or used)!  You can give them to me or drop them off yourself.  This is a project of sixteen churches.

Fall Food Roundup – Food is being collected in area Baptist Churches for the children of the Louisiana Baptist Children’s Home.  The truck from the home will pick up at FBC, Kentwood early Monday morning.  You may take your food until Sunday night.  Leave it in the the stairwell to the church office.  This is a project of churches all across out state.

Operation Christmas Child – Our craft day is Saturday.  We will meet at 1:00 at FBC, K to make items to go into the boxes we are sending.  You do not need to be “crafty” or to bring a craft to share, but it will be okay if you do.  This is a project of churches of various denominations around the world, not just mine.  Join the spirit of unity and purpose!

Easley Family – Joe and Jean Easley were still in Greensburg the last I heard.  I also leaned there have been others in the family with serious problems.  Their God, who is also mine, is more than sufficient to pray for them.  Join the family and friends in praying for them.

Senior Adult Revival at NZBC

What a great meeting we had!  The church was full.  The preaching was good.  The singing was wonderful.  Food was plentiful and delicious.  Hugs were available everywhere.  God’s presence was felt in all that was done.

Today, the revival service will be at Kedron Baptist Church.  Fellowship and morning refreshments begin at 9:15, followed by choir practice at 9:30, and the service at 10:00.  If you missed yesterday, you can’t get a “retake”, but you can come today and tomorrow and experience revival with us.

Hope Center

After revival, I was privileged to work with a team of ladies from the Kentwood area at Hope Center.  It was the first time to begin organizing the things that will be sold.  The efforts of the ladies really made a difference.  There’s much more to do, so contact Sylvester Humphry or someone else to volunteer.  Remember, everyone is a volunteer. Many volunteers will be needed now and in the future.  Be thinking about how you can work Hope Center (food bank and/or thrift store) in your schedule.  Prepare to be greatly blessed.

We discovered a need yesterday.  Hope Center needs coat hangers.  If you bring some to FBC, Kentwood, I will deliver them.  You can leave them in the stairwell at the office entrance to FBC, K.

Truett Cathy was a modern day hero.  No, he did not rescue people from burning buildings or hang the moon in place, but he had a food business that honored God and was concerned about people, especially young people.  When we visit Jason, we visit Berry College where Truett Cathy invested his money and efforts to help young people in so many ways – a place to live, someone to care about them, food, camp, and many others things, but the greatest was his Christian example and opportunities for them.  Truett Cathy’s life on earth is over, but he lives on through the lives of many young people.  Truett Cathy was a hero because he let Jesus to live in and show through his life.  Well done, Mr. Cathy.

I was given information about some area churches yesterday.  I trust you will be thankful for these reports.

  • “We fed over 200 folks today at homecoming. They got a spiritual meal, courtesy of Gregg Potts and a down home southern meal too.

  • Bro. Jonathan and Ashley Statham were honored at a pounding yesterday at Kentwood.

Operation Christmas Child Quotes

  • “My neighborhood church collected items during vacation bible school. I pick stuff up all year round and have a bin full to fill shoebox. This year I took my 5 year old nephew to the store to pick up some toys he thought other children might like. He was so excited to take his bag of toys, school supplies, and hygiene items and donate them!” – Melanie S.
  • “My daughter Arianna was crowned National American Miss Georgia Princess Queen and has chosen to use her title to collect donations and pack boxes for Operation Christmas. Arianna is only six years old, but has a huge heart for other kids. When she heard there were kids who don’t get gifts she wanted to send all her gifts to them.” – Gina B.
  • “I thank God for the shoe box I received full of things I needed, but the most important gift was that I got to know Jesus and accepted Him as my Lord in my life. It was the first time I attended Church. Then, I was invited to study the class The Greatest Journey and I was very excited to have my own book to work on. It helped me grow and know Jesus’ life. I realized I had to change my behavior because of Jesus’ love. At home we have a lot of problems, but after I started to talk the Word of God to my parents, something started to happen because they started to come with me to church.” Maria Jose
  • “My daughter’s church is very involved in this ministry. She and her daughters, 10 and 11, look for things all year. I think they get as much, or more, from this ministry as those receiving the boxes!” – Jo Anne G.

The Senior Adult Revival for Two Rivers Association will be Monday – Wednesday.

  • 9:15 – Fellowship
  • 9:30 – Choir Practice
  • 10:00 – Service followed by lunch.
  • Different churches are providing the meal each day, so you do not have to cook for a pot luck lunch each day.

Hope Center Volunteers

I know of volunteers working at the center Monday and Tuesday afternoons and Thursday.  Feel free to join them.  “Do Something” is the theme of the Georgia Barnett Offering this year.  We can all contribute to missions in our area by volunteering.

Frozen Food to a Family

The delivery was made and the food was so greatly appreciated.  You sent food and love in those quart size bags yesterday.  Start filling bags for the first Sunday of next month.

 May God bless each one who makes the effort to help in any of these efforts.

Sunday

“You rejoice in this, though now for a short time

you have had to struggle in various trials

so that the genuineness of your faith—

more valuable than gold,

which perishes though refined by fire—

may result in praise, glory, and honor

at the revelation of Jesus Christ.”

~1 Peter 1:6-7, HCSB~

 

Ron and Alana Ichter Greenwich, missionaries to Santa Catarina, Brazil have retired after 30 years and are returning home to Louisiana this weekend.  Her dad was my music minister/children’s choir director when I was a child.  Later, when Jennie served as a journeyman in Brazil, she taught the children of the Greenwich and Blackwell families, both from LA.  Sweet memories!  Her parents are also retired Brazilian ministers to Brazil.  They live in Minden, LA and are so excited to have Alana home.  Bro. Bill still serves on the church staff working with senior adults.  I might add that some of the third generation of the Ichter family are currently serving as missionaries.  What an legacy!  How they have blessed and been blessed!  I wonder how many souls will be in heaven because of the Ichter Clan.  Please pray for Ron and Alana as they make this big change in their lives.

You may remember praying for a little boy named Eli.  This is an update.

Today one year ago we came home from the hospital after the chemotherapy was over for good ! We claimed it and u claimed it with me…I remember how all of you came in agreement with me and for me that it was not over for him. I clearly remember the walk down the hallway to go home..it was awesome. I’m lucky to have a healthy boy and it teaches you to not take a day for granted and that you tell each other you love each other as much as possible. He’s a blessing… He’s smart ..he could teach lots of people to not sweat the small stuff in life and everyday battles. Money isn’t everything…materials aren’t everything.. Its who is in your life and the laughter as and the memory making a and the love as and hugs….don’t waste your day being upset over things we have no control of… My dad was that way to and I saw so much of him in Eli…. Each day is a gift..invest I n people.. This world is too full of people in it for themselves… Invest..smile.. Laugh ..love …its what got us thru each day in the battle and still today.

  • There was a nine year old boy in Guatemala who always carried his books to school in a plastic bag. The other children would laugh at him and tease him about using the bag. The little boy thanks God and OCC for the beautiful knapsack he received in his shoebox and for transforming the other children’s taunting into admiration.

Part two of telling about the wake and funeral for Mrs. Betty Moore:  The funeral was as special as “Miss” Betty was.  Yesterday, was another reminder of how special friends and family are.  Let’s all celebrate when someone leaves a body that is tired and gets to be in heaven with parents, spouse, children, other family members, and numerous friends.  Let’s also celebrate those people we still have in our lives each day.  

Say something extra special to people today!

Tuesday

“Encourage each other every day while it is ‘today.’”

~Hebrews 3:13a NCV~

 

David’s sister-in-law has both parents, Mr. and Mrs. Elwood Courtney of Holden, hospitalized in Baton Rouge.  Please pray for them, their family, and for the medical staff caring for them.

Resa Birch DeLee is hospitalized in Greensburg, not Baton Rouge.  Please add your prayers for her and her family.  (Thanks to Yvonne Birch for the correction.)

Please continue to pray for Mr. Bud Callihan.  He will have another procedure when he gets better.  He’s at home for now.  Pray for his family as you pray for him.

Walker Wilbanks, the football player who got sick on the field Friday night, passed away.  Please pray for his family, his school, and all those who knew him.

Operation Christmas Child

Majel Dean has started making tote bags to hold clothes, toys, or even the OCC shoeboxes later.  She needs help with fabric, ribbon, and cutting.  Each tote requires a 12.5 inch by 40 inch rectangle.  She could also use some grogain ribbon and cotton clothesline cording, etc. for the ties.  Each tote requires two pieces 33 inches long for the tie.  If you can help, please bring the fabric and cording to FBC, Kentwood.  The totes will be folded and placed inside the totes until the children get their boxes.

I hope you have found a way to create something for the boxes.  If you need ideas check out some of the OCC  sites on Pinterest.  There are still “ornaments” on the Christmas tree at church if you would like to purchase some gifts for the boys and girls.

One young  man selected his ornaments and then enlisted various family members to help with the purchases.  He has been trained to know the importance of missions and the good the shoeboxes do around the world.  He involved his family with him.  Good training and a wonderful involvement.  Do you need to involve a family member, child or youth,  in helping others?

Sunday

“Elijah was a man with a nature like ours,

and he prayed earnestly that it would not rain;

and it did not rain on the land

for three years and six months.

And he prayed again,

and the heaven gave rain,

and the earth produced its fruit.”

~James 5:17-18, NKJV~

Devotional, Scripture, and a Song

As I grew up and a number of times since then, I have found myself at the piano banging out this song.  The longer I banged and the more I told God I counted on Him, the sweeter the song began to sing.  My piano and this song have played such a big part of my life.
