We Are Halfway!

I am excited about our study in the Book of Acts. God has not stopped working. He still calls men and women to His service today. He still works through His churches. All He looks for are hearts that are clean and surrendered to Him. He also has promised to provide for our needs. Who will get on board? This is one of the main challenges of the Book of Acts.

Several were out last weekend and we missed you. You are in our prayers. Keep on praying for the Brandons. Savannah is doing well. . . as are Spence and Tammy. Praise the Lord for His blessings. Also keep praying for Francis' brother and sister-in-law down in Tylertown, MS. The deal with the investor fell through, but they are still hanging on the the Lord for help. Pray for our REVIVAL MEETING that is coming up in October. Let's determine to be there. Do it now. Do not wait until the week of to try to decide. Just make up your mind to come. Dad will be glad you did and the Lord will meet with you and speak to your heart. Pray for Dad and Mom as they come for the meetings. It will be good to see them and catch up on all the Australia information. God has blessed them in their travels.

WORK DAY is this Saturday. Many may not have gotten the word, so now you have. Make plans to be here at around 8:30. We will have something to eat if you come a little earlier. The preacher was talking about biscuits and gravy. We are trying to so some fixing up around the building as well as some painting. MEN AND TEENAGE BOYS are all encouraged to come and lend a hand.

Be reading ahead for the study this week. Our passage is in Acts 15.

Remember the Lord loves you and so do I!!

Blessing!

It was a good fellowship and Bible study Sunday morning. We continued with our study of Acts and talked about the Lord's calling upon our lives. Certainly He has the rightful claim upon our whole-hearted obedience because of what He has done for us on the cross. It is good to be able to serve Him. He wants us all to yield our lives to His service to be willing to serve Him in whatever capacity He desires. We will continue in the 13th chapter of Acts this week.

Also, do not forget that the Wills will be with us Sunday. Seems like this is the month for singing. Last Sunday we had Made by Mercy with us, and this Sunday we will have the Wills from Fort Worth, TX here to sing. The Sunday after that, the Sauvageot family will be singing a mini-concert for the Sunday morning service. Y'all come on out and be blessed!

Be praying this week for Jordan Alshargatli. He is back in CCU in Jackson. He had a spike in his temperature.

Also, pray for Harold, Francis' brother. There may be someone buying his place this week. Since we have been praying for so long about this, let's just keep on praying. He should know something by this Wednesday or Friday.

Pray for Tammy. . .the baby's time is coming. Also pray for Tammy's cousin. SHe has bone cancer and needs prayer.

Keep praying for all of our parents. Some are in poor health. Some are traveling long distances. Others are in need of spiritual encouragement.

Pray for the ministries of Wildwood Baptist Church. RU, Heritage Academy, outreach, Sunday School, retirement homes, and nursing home ministries. . .we earnestly desire the power of God upon us as we serve Him.

Continue to pray for our national leaders and the state of our nation's people. May the Lord raise up His truth in the darkness so that many could be saved.

It was good to have Terry and Mary's family in our class Sunday. Brother Tom was also in town and it is always good to have him in our group. Be praying for each other that we might be faithful and in this way encourage each other to keep on keeping on for the Lord.

Bless y'all this week! Holler if you need anything. Remember not to be a stranger even in the football season :-)
