“Cease from anger and forsake wrath;

Do not fret; it leads only to evildoing.

For evildoers will be cut off,

but those who wait for the Lord, t

hey will inherit the land.”

Next Week

  • Tuesday – “Young” Ladies Birthday Party
  • Friday – Bible Study followed by preparing shoeboxes for Operation Christmas Child

If you can help, please come to the fellowship hall at 12:45.  We would appreciate all the help we can get as we get ready for our packing party.  Friday, we will be folding the flat boxes into the proper size and shape and applying labels.  Then, the boxes will be stored until the night of the packing party.

We will need a number of boxes to hold the shoeboxes.  The size we need is that of the boxes that hold packs of paper towels or bathroom tissue (larger than copy paper boxes and smaller than refrigerator boxes).

 

Thank-you!

Ten ladies helped sort and inventory the items turning in for Operation Christmas Child yesterday.  We got the job done and are so please to know the items we will need to focus on getting in the next few weeks.  I’ll have that list for you real soon.

 

Yesterday’s devotional about 2 A.M. friends fit perfectly into the Bible study lesson yesterday!  I love the way God’s timing is always right.

Friday Addition

There are always losses of the staff members of churches, but there are also new staff members of churches on a regular basis.  New Zion Baptist Church has extended a call to Rev. Mike Drurry and his wife to serve in interim positions.  They will begin on Sunday, September 27th.  Bro. Mike truly shares from his heart, although he calls in “sharing from his gut”.  The family has been serving in Washing Parish.

Friday

your will be done,

on earth as it is in heaven.”

Update on Ken (Written by Ginger Simmons)

Many have ask
Not much has been posted because right now it’s baby steps to get his strength back. Ken has been through so much in such a short time. He can be very impatience (like most men) and very stubborn (duh)!! These are actually good signs. Biggest thing he wants to go home and that is what they are trying to get him ready for. Please continue to pray not only for Ken and his healing and recovery but for his caregivers. I’m speaking from experience thats not an easy job even if it’s your loved ones. There were times I wanted to take a pillow to Wendell’s doped up head!!
Thx again for all the love and support yall have shown Ken and especially your continued prayers.

 

Johnnie “Lil Man” Santangello ( Shared by his sister)

Lil Man’s neuro-oncologist from Arizona located a former resident of Barrow’s, who is now a neurosurgeon in New Orleans, to adjust his shunts tomorrow morning. We are praying that the adjustment will improve his symptoms. Thank you all for the post helping us locate a surgeon. Our family greatly appreciated all the help and prayers.
I have to share with you all,
I spent today with him, cooked some of his favorite foods and I must say he is the funniest person I know. It made my heart full to hear him laugh and joke with us. I never hear this kid complain or pout even after all he has been through. I am so humbled to be his sister.

 

Flo Hatcher (Shared by daughter, Julee)

Today’s update on my mom: she’s being released from the hospital tomorrow! Going home!! Whoo hoo!!
Yesterday she told me “Dont make me eat chicken– YUCK” and today she asked “where can we get some fried chicken?” I’m a little confused now, but she ate that chicken and mashed potatoes like she hadn’t eaten in months!! She’s going to have a sweet lady from a home health agency helping her a few days a week– pray for her!!!

Our group meeting was  very good last night.  We didn’t have any first time people, but we did have people from a number of churches ( Kentwood, Spring Creek, Line Creek, Osyka, New Zion, Roseland, and Greensburg.  I’m sharing this to say that the love for God and others is the factor that unites us.  What a blessing that is!  The music was provided by Mr. Halon Toney, Kim Chadwick, and Bubba Roberts.  If you would like to come some time, just come at 6:30 P.M. on the third Thursday of any month.

 

Enlarge your 2 A.M. group!  Our love for God should make the group that we respond to limitless.
