CREATION SUNDAY!!

Coming up this weekend - Dr. Arv Edgeworth will be with us this Sunday for CREATION SUNDAY. I am excited about the messages he will be bringing to us as he demonstrates the truth of Scripture through Science. You will want to bring your friends and family to both morning and evening services. Our Sunday School class will be joining the Auditorium Class with Dr. Edgeworth at 9:45.

BIBLE STUDY - Keep reading and studying in the book of Ephesians to prepare for the upcoming weeks.

FELLOWSHIP - February 27th, we will be having a class fellowship at the house. It starts at 6:00 PM. Bring a friend with ya! Finger foods, chips, sandwiches and such are on the menu. We will also be welcoming new members. If you have anyone who is interested in joining our Bible Study, invite them and we will "sign them up".

PRAYER - Our weekly requests are still be uplifted faithfully. Also be praying for at least three new helpers for Reformers Unanimous. Pray for souls to be saved during the week as God grants us opportunities to share His love with others. We are still praying for God to grant us a few more students at Heritage Academy, too. (His students in His time.) Be praying for our class goal of twenty in attendance. Each Wednesday night a new prayer list is passed out at the church's weekly prayer meeting. If you have not been in the habit of attending the weekly church mid-week service, I invite you to join us Wednesday nights at 7:00 PM.

TESTIMONY - Asking God to make you soul conscious will let you look at people with new eyes. Pray for a man that I was able to speak with Tuesday. His wife broke her ankle and that had caused them to miss going to Florida. He is 82 years young, does not like the cold weather, and needs the Lord, too. He was wearing a hat like the ones David had asked me about and that is what I used as an "excuse" to begin the conversation. May the Lord open our eyes more and more to the needs of people all around us.

Have a great week!

Blessings in Christ

Great time last week! Some missed it. . .for good reasons and for not so good reasons. I am still convinced, even after the Saints won the Super Bowl, that God's house is better than football. God's Word is better than Chris Bermann. When will we fall on our faces before God and love Him Who first loved us?

:-) That was a good preaching tidbit.

I do want to remind everyone of the Family Valentine Banquet this Saturday at 6:30 PM. Tickets are on sale right now for $5.00. Bring a friend with you. I am working on some folks to bring, too.

Next week we will finish our look at the passage in Ephesians 1 concerning the spiritual blessings which we have in Jesus Christ.

PLEASE PRAY
- Job for Terry Herndon
- Suzanne's niece had a baby last week
- Fraces' cousin passed away. Be in prayer for the family.
- Harold and Joanne are going to see a lawyer this Thursday and asked for prayer.
- Alex, a young man who was saved last week.
- All those we are inviting to come Saturday and Sunday.
- Spence's mother, and he is doing some pharmacy training right now.
- All of our parents for continued strength and grace to cope with age-related issues.
- All of our church ministries. . .especially our outreach.
- Several unspoken requests.

Maybe you have a Bible question and would like for it to be answered or discussed in class. Let me know what your question is and we will try to bring up one of these questions each Sunday morning. You can e-mail your questions to mlsauvageot@hotmail.com.


HAVE A BLESSED WEEK!!

HAPPY FEBRUARY!



Happy February! It is Sweetheart month, so follow through with those plans to demonstrate your love. Remember Who loves you most. God's love is UNCONDITIONAL. God's love is INESCAPABLE. God's love is INEXHAUSTIBLE. God's love is UNDENIABLE. God's love is INCOMPREHENSIBLE. God's love is INFINITE. God's love is INSPIRING. We could go on. In fact, when you add a comment, add to this list of Biblical explanations of the love of God.

We are on the verge of great things in Sunday School. Our class has set a goal for the new year of reaching 20 in attendance. Which means that we need to double our class attendance this year. So we are beginning this coming Sunday with a series of studies to help us learn the truths we need in order to help us reach this goal. Be in prayer as we uncover these principles to grow by.

Good time yesterday! Finished up our study in the Book of Acts with a lesson entitled THE UNFINISHED STORY. Looking forward to seeing how God will continue His work through us in Tupelo, MS and add a chapter, so to speak, to this unfinished story. I am not saying that the Book of Acts is not complete as it is. . .IT IS PERFECT AND FINISHED. I am saying that the way it ends forces me to believe that God's work is not done and He still wants us to be GOING, PREACHING, BAPTIZING, and TEACHING. Exciting to think about.

Be in prayer - Bro. Terry had a friend to pass away last week. She had been a teacher for many years and left some big tracks. Pray for her family in Hamilton, AL and also pray for someone to take up the torch she has passed and continue the witness she has begun.

Be in prayer - Francis mentioned a friend who has cancer.

Tammy's cousin also has cancer.

Mable and Daniel Moody are having health problems and need special prayer and cards and letters.

Rhonda - job search; Include Terry in this, too. He will be going for an interview on Monday.

Terry's brother Ray needs pray for a family matter.

Mary will be in Jackson this week for some meetings. . .also her family needs prayer, too.

Be in prayer for our Family Valentine's Banquet upcoming on February 13th. We want to have a great turnout.

CREATION SUNDAY!! February 21st. And also our Monday morning Youth Rally with Dr. Edgeworth. Lots of folks have said that they would like to come. Pray for good attendance this Sunday.

UNSPOKEN; prayer for me as the Lord leads you. . .special needs right now


As you can see our prayer requests also are announcements! ONE not mentioned there is our Sunday School class fellowship. We will meet at the Sauvageot's home February 27th at 6:00 PM. Put it on your calendar. More details to come :-)
