Prayer Request, Signing up for Prayer Slots, Happy Memorial Day (Pastoral Emphasis for 5/30)

Please keep Sis. Hattie Williams in your prayers. She is currently at the Swift Creek Health Center until Tuesday. For those who like to contact her, additional details about her phone and room number was sent out via Realm. 

As part of our pastoral prayers for revival next month, we'll be having a special 24-hour Prayer Rally. The theme is “Repentance, Restoration, & Revival” with the focus on praying for the church. We want members to sign up for 30 minute slots prayer slots from June 7th, 7 am through June 8th, 7 am. There are plenty of available slots especially from 11:30 am to 5:30 pm. We'll also be fasting the week of 6/7. We'll have a prayer guide for you to use. It will be available on June 1 . Contact Sis. Sandra Broadwater for more information. 



I would like to wish everyone a Happy Memorial Day. As more people are getting out, many people use this Memorial Day weekend for travel, shopping, or cookouts. But let's remember that Memorial Day is for remembering the men and women who have died in military service to their country. So take some time to remember those who have died and pray for the comfort of their families.

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...

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 ...
