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.
