Prayer & Bereavement, Virtual Prayer Rally, Back to School Prayer (Pastoral Emphasis for 8/15)

We have much to pray for as many of our members are experiencing difficulties and bereavement. 
  • Pray for Sis. Annie Brice who is in the hospital 
  • Pray for Bernard Clark on the loss of his great aunt which is former member, Sis. Regina Jarmon's mother 
  • Pray for Minister Jackie Harrison and family who recently lost her nephew 
  • Pray for Bro. Britt Norton whose wife, Sis. Norma, and mother-in-law passed last week. Bro. Britt gave me permission to share that his wife and mother-in-law died from COVID. Although Bro. Britt had gotten vaccinated, they decided not to. Bro. Britt wants to encourage everyone to consider getting vaccinated if not for yourself, for your family and friends. It's those you leave behind that are impacted. 

Our next Virtual Prayer Rally will be on Tuesday, August 17th, at 7:00 pm. If you cannot attend, please submit your prayer request online on our Prayer Request Form . 

September’s Foundation Fellowship will be on the Doctrine of Election. The book that I'll be coming from is Chosen by God by R.C. Sproul. I highly recommend this book for your library. 


Today, we had our Back to School Prayer.




Parents and grandparents anointed their children with oil and I lead everyone in prayer for protection (especially from COVID), wisdom and learning, discipline for their studies, patience for parents and guardians, teachers, administrators, bus drivers, staff, and finally, faith in Christ for our children.

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...
