Prayer & Testimony Service, My Hope Sunday, Harvey Donation (Pastoral Emphasis for 10/1)

Please pray for the following...
  • Victims of hurricane, earthquakes, and flooding like Puerto Rico 
  • Bereavement: Deaconess Susan Fortenberry (loss of sister); Deacon Hardaway (murder of brother) 
  • Deacon Robert Hunter who fell and fractured both hands 
Since we have so much to pray for, everyone is welcome to join us for our Prayer & Testimony service on the first Wednesday of each month starting 10/4 from 6 - 6:45 pm (right before Bible Study).

After Prayer & Testimony service, stay for Bible Study at 7 pm. On Wednesday, we start volume 4. Even if you've missed other Bible Studies, it's a great time to start coming. This Wednesday, we'll look at how we should consistently return back to the message of the Gospel.

My Hope Sunday is next Sunday! If you have done so yet, invite at least one unbeliever or un-churched person to join you for church on that Sunday. We also have business cards containing scriptures regarding HOPE for the next 7 days that we should be read and meditated on.

Today, we collected everyone's commitment cards with the names of those who have been invited.  We prayed for these individuals that they would come and God would give them ears to hear and eyes to see Jesus as their only hope.

Bro. Joe and Sis. Brenda Hancock shared their awesome testimony about how God saved Bro. Joe's life from a heart attack, sustained Sis. Brenda as she cared for her husband, and their church family was a blessing to them.

Thank you all for your generosity. Because of it, we are able to donate $4,500 to help the victims of Hurricane Harvey. We'll be donating to Crossover Bible Fellowship Church in Houston aid their relief and gospel work.

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...
