Nairobi mall terror witnessed by missionaries

We had five of our eight “young” ladies present for their birthday celebration yesterday. Many friends were there to support then.

It’s still not too late to turn in school uniforms to be given to Re-Store in Amite. Our project for October will be collecting jackets, sweaters, winter caps, gloves, etc..

Have a special day. Do something meaningful.

The last I heard from Kayla Johnson was that she was doing well. She is not expected to have any future problems. After spending the night, she is expected to come home today.

Pray for Rufus and Margie Williams. He’s at the Heart Hospital in LaComb to complete the procedure of taking care of his blockages.

Thanks to all who contributed shoes for Re-Store in Amite. Even though our official shoe drive is over, shoes can be brought to the church at any time and placed in or near our collection baskets. The biggest need is for shoes for children. Bro. Heath will be glad to have them at any time. We will meet to organize and deliver shoes on Tuesday, September 3rd at 9:00 A.M. Come join us to receive a special blessing as we pray over each pair of shoes. Our September collection project for Re-Store will be school uniforms of any size and for any school. Items can be placed in the collection baskets near the office entrance and the main doors of the sanctuary. Our October and November collections for Re-Store will be jackets and blankets. Those of you who like to get an early start now know what to work on.

Individuals or classes who wish to help with Lara’s Gowns for Smiles are encouraged to by five or more yards on a solid color of 100% cotton fabric. Suggested colors will include red, green, blue, pink, purple, white and any neon colors you find. We will wash the fabric and set a date to cut bias strips and join them so bias tape for the gowns can be made. This is much more economical than buying packs of bias tape. Thanks to Peggy Alford for making our first L-O-N-G roll of bias tape.

The August “Young” Ladies’ Birthday Party was another great lunch gathering with thirty present to celebrate birthdays of Fay Shoemaker, Frances Gay, Ferrie Gene Blackmon, and Melissa Johnson.

The study is based on clips from the “Lucy” series. There is no cost and no homework. Each lesson “stands on its own”, so if you miss a week, you can join the group the next week without any problems. Ladies from other churches are welcome to study with us.

There will be a quarterly associational WMU meeting at East Fork Baptist Church on Monday, September 9th at 4:00 P.M. All ladies are urged to participate.

“Young” Ladies Birthday Party

FBC, Kentwood, we will be celebrating August birthdays this morning at Nyla’s at 11:00. If you have an August birthday, please come. If you do not have an August birthday, please come help celebrate. We will have a great time visiting and honoring our ladies.

Please collect used, but still usable shoes, for us to contribute to Re-Store in Amite. We are especially looking for children’s and men’s shoes. You can drop them off if the baskets at the main and office entrances to the church. Sunday will be the last day for you to do this. During the month of September, we will be collecting used, but usable, school uniforms of all sizes. You can drop them off at the baskets at the office and main entrances to FBC, Kentwood. You do not have to be a member of this church to help with the project.

The Lucy Bible Study will begin this week. Meet in the fellowship hall at 10:00 Friday. Bring your Bible. The study will not require homework of money. Each lesson is on a new topic, so if you miss one week, you pick up with the next topic the following week. Come laugh and study with us!

Monday

“After these things I looked, and behold,

standing before the throne and before the Lamb,

clothed with white robes,

with palm branches in their hands.”

~Revelation 7:9~

Jason’s Story – http://jadonsisstory.blogspot.com/

Caroline Cutrer‘s mother, Treva, thanks ALL who have encouraged and supported them during the past two years. Caroline is ending her treatment soon. Then, they look forward to a time of monitoring her before declaring her cancer free. What a difficult journey this family has traveled, but what great support they have had. Most of all, what a Great Physician God is! Let’s continue to pray for the family as they complete the journey.

Last night, David led a small group in sharing the Lord’s Supper at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Philip Harrell. What a blessing that was to those who represented FBC, Kentwood, the Harrells, and their daughter and son-in-law (Phyllis and Don Yarborough). Other members of the church were doing the same thing in other locations. I cannot describe for you the blessing it was for me to be there, but it was a memory I will aways cherish. We were able to present them with the framed paper signed by many members of the church last week to honor the Harrell’s 72nd anniversary which was Monday, the 19th. “Miss” Annie Bell blessed us by again telling the wonderful story of how they planned and carried out “running away” to get married at the ages of 16 and 17. Mr. Phillip added that they “grew up”‘ with their kids. Don led a prayer thanking God for the support of members of the church who have been faithful to the Harrells during the last three years when “Miss” Annie Bell’s health has cause them to be homebound.

Several families in our area are going through the final days with a loved one. Faithfully pray for them to find God’s guidance and peace each day.

The “Young” Ladies Birthday Party will be tomorrow at Nyla’s at 11:00. Feel free to remind others so they can be there to help celebrate these birthdays.

The “Lucy” Bible study will begin Friday at 10:00 at FBC, Kentwood. Each study is independent of the others. They do not require homework or cost any money. Ladies for other churches are invited to participate with us. It would be helpful to get a count ahead of time, so contact the church office, 229-8111, please. Even if we don’t have your name ahead of time, please come join us in laughing followed by serious discussions.

Devotional – Our Daily Bread – “The Next Chapter” – http://odb.org/

Homebound Lord’s Supper – Today at 4:30 member of FBC, Kentwood will divide into groups and travel to various places to visit some of our homebound. This must be an awesome blessing to those who have the Lord’s Supper brought to them. It is also a true blessing to be a part of this just by being present. The homes to be visited and the deacon leaders of each group have already been established. Pray for this to be meaningful to all.

Missions – The end of the month is fast approaching. It will soon be time to deliver shoes to Re-Store in Amite. Has your family contributed gently used shoes? What about the children, grandchildren, nieces, and nephews in your family? This would be a good time to work with other family members to go through closets and select shoes to share. Collection baskets are near the main and office entrances of the church. Please help the baskets to overflow with blessings for others.

Our next project for Re-Store will be school uniforms. If there are any children who have outgrown their old uniforms and you are not passing them down to a family member, please begin to deliver them to the church to the same collection baskets by next Sunday. If you are like me and have no local children who wear uniforms, please begin to pray for the families who will receive the uniforms. Pray their hearts will be touched because others have shared of their abundance so the children of their families could be blessed through us.

Friday at 10 A.M., we will be beginning a new series of Bible studies based on the “Lucy” television program. A small segment will be the basis of the study each week. There is no homework from one meeting to the next, but you are certainly free to take notes and to study deeper as God leads you. I hope to see ladies from several different churches present each week. I think studying the Bible together will bless all of us. There is a sign-up sheet at the church. You can also contact me in person or just show up Friday. Come planning to laugh and to use that to evaluate your own life. There will be no cost for this study.

The monthly “young” ladies’ birthday party will be Tuesday at Nyla’s at 11:00. We will honor those who have August birthdays and have a good time eating and visiting.

Be a part of the Bible Study at your church today. God’s plan is for is to meet with other Christians and to study His Word together.

Have a great Lord’s Day! Make this the most special day of the week.

Austin is doing great. Even went to visit friends at Band Camp on Friday night ( that did my heart good!) and sat with his section at camp on saturday for a little while. Even wanted to go back Saturday night and went out with a group to Yogli Mogli after practice. Can I just say that I love the Harrison Marching Band!! You guys are great! We are family and I thank you all for your support.

I thank God for all the area Vacation Bible Schools held this summer. I know they helped to mold young lives the right way. Thanks for all who helped provide this opportunity for our kids.

The missions teams from FBC, Amite and Bethleham (Albany) returned home safely. Thank for to this opportunity they had to work with Native Americans.

Please continue to pray for my daddy, who remains at North Oaks.

I talked with Susan Dufrene, grandmother of Lara and the person behind Lara’s Gowns for Smiles. Lara broke her “bad” leg while at physical therapy this week. Pray for Lara as her leg heals and as she fights cancer.
