“This is what the LORD Almighty said:

‘Administer true justice;

show mercy and compassion to one another.

Do not oppress the widow or the fatherless,

the foreigner or the poor.

Do not plot evil against each other.’

~Zechariah 7:9-10~

 

 

Bubba and Linda Huckaby – Today, I want to add Bubba’s faithful caregiver.  We all know the importance the caregiver is in the care and recovery from any illness.  As you pray for one, pray also for the other one.

Christian Smalley and his family – Christian is Karen Miller’s grandson who was injured while playing baseball.  He continues to need our prayers.

Bruce and Dorothy Fussell – Both have been sick.  Their daughter is the caregiver for both of them.

Continue to pray for the Schwartz family.  Jimmy is slowing “losing ground”.

Children in Action, our missions organization, will study Matthew 14:13-21 tonight.  It’s about the loaves and fish.  Bring you children and grandchildren and see how we will use a cartoon and Goldfish crackers.  We meet at 6 P.M. in the L-wing.

 

The Associational WMU will meet Monday at Montpelier.  The pastor and some ladies from Osyka Baptist Church will be there to tell us about one of their flood relief activities that involved the whole church, a brown bag ministry.  You don’t have to be a member of a WMU or even a lady to come.   We will begin at 10 A.M.

 

Friday Morning Bible Study will meet at 10 A..M. and has plans to complete John 10.  It’s always a good time to join Bible Study.

 

Missions Need – HARD, INDIVIDUALLY WRAPPED CANDY!  Each of our 325 shoeboxes will have a small bag of candy.  We are almost ready to pack them up, so now is the time to bring in lots of hard candy.  You can leave it in the office if I am no there.

 

Do your best today!

Tuesday

Each of you should use

Please pray for Susan Rimes.  This month marks five years since she started having problems with kidney stones.  Sadly, she is still having the same issue.  Please pray for her and for her family.

Robbie Lynn Kirby doesn’t live here any more, but we still hurt to hear that her health is not good.  Remember to keep her in your prayers.

The Schwartz family continues to ask us to pray for God’s mercy and comfort as Jimmy goes through some difficult days.

George Eddie Lee is doing better this week than last week.  Thank God for that improvement.

Operation Christmas Child “Shoebox” Folding – Yesterday morning, a number of people gathered to help prepare our shoeboxes for packing at the end of the month.  Even though we are doing more boxes than ever before, the boxes were complete and neatly stacked by groups in two hours!  That’s good, but the very best part is that there was such a sweet, loving spirit that could not be denied.   We all felt so blessed to be a part of doing something special to help children around the world have some meaningful gifts, but mainly to have the opportunity to learn about Jesus and his love for them.

Opportunity – Thursday, at 10:30, we will be at Kentwood Manor.  Join us in being a  bright spot in their lives this week.  Bubba Roberts and his guitar will be part of the group and such a joy to the residents.

 

Be an instrument of joy, peace, and contentment this week.

Monday

Sell your possessions and give to the poor.

Provide purses for yourselves that will not wear out,

a treasure in heaven that will never fail,

where no thief comes near and no moth destroys.

For where your treasure is,

there your heart will be also.

~Luke 12:33-34~

For I desire mercy,

Please continue to pray for Mr. Burnell Simpson and Jimmy Schwartz as well as their caregivers and family.

Prayers are still needed for those who have been, are, and will be in the path of Hurricane Matthew.  Also, pray for those who are already in place to help them recover.  We have great work done by Samaritan’s Purse and Southern Baptist Disaster Relief.  They are big organizations that go wherever the need is and do it well.  I thank God for them.

Operation Christmas Child

  • The Children in Action (mission study class) was certainly in action last night.  There packed the pencil cases for four of the six groups of children last night.  As they packed, we were able to talk about missions and how the children who received the shoeboxes would be blessed.   Before our class, two girls who arrived early were able to help me fold and put together some packing boxes.  It was a great night to be a missions leader!
  • Saturday is almost here.  I expect a great morning (10 A.M. – Noon) as adults are trained to collect the boxes from other churches.  Feel free to join us if you are interested.
  • October 10th will be a day to assemble the flat cardboard into a shoebox shape.  You many join me at 10 A.M. or at 6 P.M. that Monday.
  • October 29th will be the day all the boxes are filled and packaged into official OCC boxes for shipment to children all around the world.
  • Samaritan’s Purse – https://www.samaritanspurse.org/what-we-do/operation-christmas-child/

Wednesday

For if you remain silent at this time,

relief and deliverance for the Jews

will arise from another place,

but you and your father’s family will perish.

And who knows

but that you have come to your royal position

for such a time as this?”

~Esther 4:14~

(This verse about Esther could also apply to us.  I was recently invited to attend a Bible study on Esther, but declined because I have already done the study and I have some schedule complications.  This verse reminds me of times when we are placed in certain situations for a particular reason.  Think about it.  Read Esther.)

Justin Lambert is making progress.  This report is from day 111 following the accident.  If you see Sharon Birch or Rachel Buckley, they can give you a more complete update on their nephew.

 Justin has been making some wonderful improvements. Justin can now feed himself, partially dress himself, brush his own teeth, pull himself up in the bed, TALK, and has started walking at therapy. He still doesn’t have 100% function in his right leg but they put a brace on it and with their help he walks! He has walked as far as 52 feet which was 76 steps 😍 I have seen my husband smile more in the past few days than I have in what seems like an eternity.

Pray for Jimmy and Ruby Schwartz.  His heath has declined requiring more daily care for him.

Pray that the religious literature being delivered to the jail in Amite tomorrow will touch the lives of those who receive it.  Thank God for those who collect and distribute it.  If you have some religious magazines or Bibles, I will get them in the proper hands.  Thanks to those of you who brought items in recently.  I have a trunk full of magazines to take tomorrow.  Other than Bibles, the cannot accept books.  Think paperback.

Jeana Lee Newton’s long, complicated surgery at Ochsner was successful.  Some of you have personally told me you are praying for her.  Keep it up.  Jeana’s family says she is better now than she has been in a long time.

 

The Georgia Barnette Offering at FBC, Kentwood has reacher 47% of our goal.  Let’s make our goal and surpass it.

 

Any church or organization filling “shoeboxes” for Samaritan’s purse needs to be reminded that they suggest a donation of $7.00 per box to pay for shipping and for literature that is added to introduce each child to Jesus.  I was blessed to meet a lady, Pricilla, Tuesday who works for Samaritan’s Purse.  She was very encouraging.

Older children, youth, and adults are invited to help fold the flat shoeboxes into their finished shape on October 10th.  You can come at 9 A.M or at 6 P.M.  We’ll have a chair and a table ready for you to work.  Like so many other things, lots of people and lots of steps are involved.  You can also come and draw a picture in the boxes for us.  Think how blessed the children will feel to have special artwork/Christian message just for them.

FBC, Kentwood will be a drop-off location for shoeboxes November 14-21.  There will be a training opportunity Saturday, October 1 from 10 – noon.

 

Children in Action will meet at 6 P.M. tonight to pack the pencil boxes/pouches for the “shoeboxes”.  There will be lots of excitement as the children get to help with the shoeboxes for the third time this year.  If you are available, come watch and “catch the spirit”.  Adults are always invited to visit and learn what we are doing.

The Journey of a Shoebox – https://www.samaritanspurse.org/operation-christmas-child/the-journey-of-a-shoebox/?utm_source=OCCFacebook&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=m_YOCC-15SM&utm_content=Journey-of-a-Shoebox-9-26-16

You can see a drop-off location at the beginning of the journey.  That will be what we will be doing this year.  It’s the first step after your shoeboxes leave your homes and churches.  The main point of shoeboxes is the last step, getting them into the hands of little children!

 

We are only seven weeks away from serving as a drop-off location.  Get your boxes packed and ready to go!

Monday

But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you,

for my power is made perfect in weakness.”

Therefore I will boast all the more gladly

about my weaknesses,

so that Christ’s power may rest on me.

 That is why, for Christ’s sake,

I delight in weaknesses,

in insults,

in hardships,

in persecutions,

in difficulties.

For when I am weak, then I am strong.
