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.

Minnesota School Shooting, Music Ministry Recruitment, Ark Encounter Trip (Pastoral Emphasis for 8/31)

Minnesota School Shooting Our hearts are heavy over the tragic school and church shooting in Minneapolis at Annunciation Catholic School, where two children lost their lives and many others—some as young as six—are recovering from serious injuries. Sadly, we couldn't get through a full week of traditional school before something like this happens. In this time of profound sorrow, let us hold close in prayer the grieving parents, families, and the entire Annunciation community. Though we cannot fully comprehend their pain, we can stand alongside them in faith, offering compassion, and intercession. May God bring comfort to those who mourn, healing to the wounded, and peace to a terrified community.  Of course, a mass shooting always brings up the issue for stricter gun laws. I agree we do need good legislation and sensible gun laws because it is the government's responsibility to protect its citizens. Ultimately, that will not solve our problem. For a country that has been ...
