Bereavement, My Hope Sunday & Testimony (Pastoral Emphasis for 3/4)

Sis. Jackie Wooten's mother passed last week. The funeral will be on Wednesday in Goldsboro. Please pray for Sis. Wooten and her family during this time of bereavement.


We are having My Hope 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 3/18. During that service, we will share the hope we have in Jesus Christ. This week, write down the names of those you are inviting to My Hope Sunday on your commitment card and pray that they would come and God will save them. Next Sunday, we'll collect all the commitment cards with the names and we'll pray for them.

As we prepare our hearts for My Hope Sunday, we'll have testimonies from various people to share their hope in Jesus Christ. Today, Sis. Jennifer Allen shared how God helped to forgive and heal from hurt she received in church.

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 ...
