Homegoing Service for Juanita Hunter, Young Believers Fellowship, Fast this Week (Pastoral Emphasis for 2/19)

The Homegoing service for Sis. Juanita Hunter will take place on tomorrow (Monday) at 11:00 AM with visitation preceding the service at 10:30 AM. Interment takes place at Carolina Biblical Gardens. A public viewing will be held today at Haywood Funeral Home from 3-8 PM.

Please pray for Bro. Charlie Pritchett who lost his brother last week. The memorial service will be held in Michigan this week.

Join us again on Wednesday at 7pm for our Bible Study series called the Journey. This Wednesday, we'll look at defining discipleship. To live as a disciple of Jesus includes embracing a lifestyle of discipleship.

Our College/Young Adult Ministry will have a fellowship of young believers on Friday, 2/24, at 7pm. Open to ages 18-26. Please see Deaconesses Tracy Dunn or Shebbie Coppage to RSVP and get the location of the fellowship.

There are many reasons why Christians do not share their faith or make disciples. A couple of the biggest reasons given are that they don’t know how or don’t feel qualified. Join us for our upcoming theological seminar on Saturday, February 25th, from 9:00am to 11:30am. I will be teaching on
"How to Share Your Faith & Make Disciples". Come out and get equipped to fulfill the Great Commission. Light refreshments will be served. Please register for the seminar online. Free eBooks will be given to those who attend.

We are having MyHope Outreach Sunday where all of our members are asked to commit to inviting at least one unbeliever or unchurched person to join us at church on 3/12. During that service, we will share the hope we have in Jesus Christ. In your bulletin you have a commitment card where you can write the name(s) of those you will invite. We'll be collecting those commitment cards on 3/5 so we can pray for these individuals.

Sis. Barbara Gibbons shared her testimony of how God was faithful and kept her throughout her life as she faced an alcoholic first husband, divorce, a troubled son, the death of her husband, Deacon Gibbons.

I'm calling for a church-wide fast this week for Bro. Derrick Wiggins and the Oliver family.  Please give up at least one meal a day (more if you desire) and let's fast and pray for Bro. Derrick's trial that God would show mercy and move in the hearts of the judge, jury, and lawyers.

Responding to the Flooding, Christmas in July Food Drive, New Sermon Series (Pastoral Emphasis for 7/13)

Responding to the Flooding All of us are painfully aware of the devastating flooding that struck our nation recently. As of Friday evening, the confirmed death toll in Texas has risen to 129, with at least 150 individuals still missing across the state. Our hearts are heavy, and we grieve for the lives lost and the families enduring unimaginable pain. One of the first things people tend to do is look for someone to blame. Was it the fault of the warning system not being early enough? Was it the fault of the government (state and federal)? Was it the fault of God? If God is so good, why do we suffer with natural disasters like flooding that takes the lives of seemingly innocent people like young children? The reality is that the fault lies with us. Humanity decided to rebel against the Creator God, thereby, ushering in sin and the fall from God's perfect creation. Natural disasters happen because we live in a fallen world ravaged by sin. Natural disasters like these floods are trag...
