Mike Moore, husband of Robin Wilson Moore, went for a check-up yesterday.

Today’s Hymn of the Day – “Little Brown Church in the Vale” – http://cyberhymnal.org/htm/l/i/littlebc.htm

 

I remember first hearing this hymn at Big Creek Church of Christ.  I was amazed with both the hymn and the voices that blended so well without any musical instruments.  It’s been one of my favorites since that night about fifty years ago.  We know it today as “The Church in the Wildwood”.

Tomorrow, Tuesday, we will meet at the church at 10:00 to organize and pray over the donations of shoes and uniforms for Re-Store in Amite.  Then, the donations will be delivered along with some cards for the counter that help point people to Jesus.  If you have shoes, especially shoes for children, and uniforms of any size or color, it’s not too late.  Leave them inside the office or main door of FBC, Kentwood. We’ll make another delivery later.  Also, begin collecting blankets and jackets that you wish to contribute.

The truck from the Louisiana Baptist Children’s Home will be in Kentwood a week from today to pick up food items for the cottages there. You have one week to get your donation ready.

Don’t forget the “Lucy” Bible study on Friday mornings at 10:00.  Each lesson stands independent of the other lessons, so if you miss one, you will be okay to do the next one without any problem.  The unique feature about this study is there is no homework and no cost.

In a couple of weeks, a Beth Moore Bible study will begin on Monday nights.  Sign up now, so a book will be ordered for you.

God “is the blessed and only Sovereign,

the King of kings,

and the Lord of lords.”

~1 Timothy 7:15b, HCSB~

Brandy Potts want me to clarify the the EFBC children’s choir rehearsal she posted about is for Sunday evenings.

Yes, Austin Rose did make it home to march in with his high school band in Georgia.  Thank God Austin was able to have his treasured experience with his band.  Let’s pray he will get to have more treasured experiences before his next hospitalization.  I thank God for giving Austin such a great support system.

There were twelve ladies at the Lucy Bible study.  We all laughed and learned.  The next Lucy Bible study will be Friday morning at 10:00.  At that time we will discuss worrying.  This study will be independent of what we have already done.  I hope you will come join us.  Of course, if you have never worried about anything, you don’t need to come.
