Thursday

He guides the humble in what is right and teaches them his way.

~Psalm 25:9~

 

I hope you are reading about and praying for the North American missionaries featured each day this week, the week of prayer for the Annie Armstrong Easter Offering.

 

 

Bobby Simpson is doing well following Monday’s procedure.  Keep him in your prayers as he heals.

 

 

Elton Shaw seems to be having a relapse.  Please put him back on your personal prayer list.

 

 

Joanne Tate, the three month old daughter of Chuck and Jeanne Tate, will require open heart surgery to correct problems in her tiny heart.  The Tates live in the Terry’s Creek area.   Pray for God to take care of this precious little one.

 

 

 

Danielle Dillon and family are celebrating the completion of her chemotherapy as she moves on to radiation soon.  Please pray for Danielle.

Phillip Harrell was not feeling real well yesterday.  Please pray for him to be comfortable.  Pray too for his faithful caregivers, Don and Phyllis Yarborough.
I’m expecting to hear today or tomorrow that Glen Magee is home from the hospital to continue his recovery from surgery.
There seem to be a number of people with the flu again this year.  Be careful when you are around others.  We need to contain this as much as possible.

The children’s mission class continues to grow as they learn each week.  Parents and grandparents, thank-you for giving us the opportunity to work with your children each Wednesday.  They certainly bless my life.

 

 

We have one more day to invite others to come to the new Bible study of Romans!

 

 

 

Thank God for His guidance in our daily lives.

If my people, who are called by my name,

Yesterday was a great day!  The associational WMU meeting at FBC, Greensburg was a time to inspire each other as we learned about the Annie Armstrong Easter Offering.  That was followed by the Two Rivers annual meeting at Spring Creek last night.  I was blessed to have been in each meeting.

 

 

Three days and counting – The new Bible study of Romans will begin Friday morning in the fellowship hall of FBC, Kentwood.  The Bible will be our textbook with no other required reading.  You do not have to belong to FBC, Kentwood to attend.  Our first meeting will be an introductory meeting to Romans, so feel free to read the introduction to Romans that can be found in most Bibles.  Work as much or as little as you feel led to do each week.  In other words, it’s easy to participate at the level of involvement you choose.  No additions books are required.  No cost involved.  Contact me if you have questions.  No questions, just show up Thursday at 10:00 A.M.

 

 

 

May your light shine for Jesus today!

Monday

“A person’s wisdom yields patience;

it is to one’s glory to overlook an offense.”

~Proverbs 19:11 NIV~

 

 

David’s brother, Jimmy, called early yesterday morning to say the results of tests he had done Friday were in.  Jimmy’s cancer indicators have dropped from the 400″s to less than 10, a reading considered normal.  There are some people named Alford who are very thankful this morning.

 

 

 

A new Bible study, Romans, will begin Friday.  I saw a friend from another church yesterday who asked about attending.  Of course, that will be just fine, even great!   It’s not about your church connection!   It’s about a desire to study God’s Word!  Contact me or just show up Friday in the fellowship hall of FBC, Kentwood.  This week we will talk about who, what, when, etc.  The next week, we will begin with chapter on.  Come learn with us.  We begin at 10:00 A.M.

 

 

Read the Bible – Reflect on God as Redeemer and catch up on passages you might not have read yet.

 

 

There’s excitement stirring in some hearts at FBC, Kentwood as people are getting involved in Operation Christmas Child.  A new approach this year seems to have opened our hearts to new opportunities, theme boxes, crafts for children to make, etc.  We’ll be happy to share our enthusiasm with others.  Children, far from Kentwood, will be blessed as they receive gifts and LEARN ABOUT JESUS!  The word from Kentwood is doing things differently can be even more exciting for those of us packing the shoeboxes.

 

 

The associational WMU will meet this morning at FBC, Greensburg to learn about the Annie Armstrong Easter Offering.  Join us at 10:00 A.M.  You’ll also get an opportunity to learn about the missionaries featured in the Week of Prayer this week.

 

 

This week has the potential for being extra special for some people.  Let’s include ourselves in that number.

Friday Addition

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fsr2NK9U9Co&feature=shareThis video of Rev. Billy Graham was made when he did a crusade in Brazil 44 years ago, in 1974.  I know you will enjoy watching it.  What makes it especially wonderful is that my friend Rev. Bill Ichter lead the choir for the crusade.  Bro. Bill was sick a week ago, but is better now.  Oh, the memories he must be living again this week.  Two great men!  Even if you don’t know Rev. Bill Ichter, I think you will enjoy reliving a crusade.  Don’t worry, the video is not in Portuguese!
