Hurricane Florence Relief, Prayer 2018, My Hope Sunday (Pastoral Emphasis for 9/30)

Today was our Youth Sunday where our youth lead us in prayer, reading Scripture, and singing. Sis. Tracy Dunn, our youth director, delivered a special message to the youth (and all of us) to "Be greater than our Haters for God's Glory" from Matthew 5:5.

We have started our Hurricane Relief Supply drive for the next couple of weeks. We are collecting items that are immediately needed such as canned food, hygiene items, baby products (diapers, formula), and cleaning supplies. Please start bringing the following items to the church:

  • Thick rubber gloves 
  • Face masks- white molded 
  • Eye protection (goggles) 
  • Trash bags (kitchen) 
  • Lawn Trash bags 
  • N95 or better paper face mask respirators 
  • Hand sanitizer 
  • Bleach 
  • Toiletries 
  • Toilet paper 
  • Paper towels 
  • Air mattresses 
  • Cots 
  • Pads/Tampons 
  • Diapers/Baby wipes 
  • Canned food (soups, meats)

Tuesday, 10/2, is PRAYER 2018 on 10/2, from 7:00pm to 9:00pm at the Raleigh Memorial Auditorium. We will NOT have our church- wide prayer gathering on Tuesday. If you've registered, please see Sis. Sandra Broadwater to get your ticket. And we still have available seats so coordinate with Sis. Broadwater if you'd like to attend.

My Hope Sunday is 10/14. All of our members are asked to commit to inviting at least one unbeliever or unchurched person to join us for church on 10/14. During that service, we will share the hope we have in Jesus Christ. Today, we've distributed daily scriptures (you should read each day this week) and commitment cards for you to write down the name(s) of those you are committing to invite. We will collect those cards next Sunday to pray over the names. In preparation of My Hope, we'll be having testimonies from members about their hope in Jesus. Today, Sis. Staci Torrence shared how she had to hold to Jesus during a time when her daughters were taken from her.

Next Sunday, I've been invited to preach at Sovereign Grace Church in Apex for their morning service. I solicit your prayers that I will be able to serve that congregation well with the Word of God.
