I saw (and ate) a lot of chocolate last night at church. We had another great Sunday fellowship night. Now, we have to wait until Sunday to have “Pie in the sky”. I also have to decide what kind of pie to make. Come join us at FBC, Kentwood if you are not in another church at that time.
The youth and children from FBC, Kentwood will be attending camp soon. Please begin to pray for them now.
Please pray for Mr. and Mrs. John Alan Blackwell as they make the move to Moss Point, MS. She is almost finished with the radiation treatments, but has more chemo to continue. Pray this move works well for all the family.
Today, I would like to introduce you to a site that has devotionals (and other things) for children. I hope you will explore such sites to share with your children and grandchildren. Maybe, some of them will also touch our hearts. Give it a peep.

Sunday
“And so I have made it my aim to preach the gospel, not where Christ was named,
lest I should build on another man’s foundation, but as it is written: ‘
To whom He was not announced, they shall see;
and those who have not heard shall understand’.”
~Romans 15:20-21~
