From the Shepherd's Heart....Wednesday, April 26, 2017

Sadly, tonight is our last night of "The Truth Project" for the adults.  We are watching the teaching "Community and Involvement:  God Cares, Do I?"  This has been a powerful tool to better equip us in how Truth intersects our every-day life.

Thank you for allowing me to present these teachings to you.  I went to a conference several years ago to be able to purchase these DVDs and used them at CrossRoads.

If you missed any of the teachings, you may borrow the DVD to watch them.  Also, remember I do have some "notes" Joey Hall found on the internet.  If you wish to have them, write me an email.

The Youth have two more nights of the teaching.  Gary Blevins is teaching tonight and then Tonya Hiett next week.

Beginning May 3, I will be teaching from Luke 6.

Pray for me next Monday night (5-1) as I preach at Bellevue Baptist Church in Gadsden where Bro. Roger Graham is pastor.

Pray for our ladies as they leave Friday for "Women of Joy."  46 are going this year and as it has been in the past, I'm sure it will be another wonderful time of refreshment and joy.  Pray for their safety in travel and while there plus for God to open their hearts to wonderful teaching and renewed joy.

Pray for "Feed My Starving Children" this Saturday at the DeKalb County Schools Coliseum.  I'm delighted our church has made a contribution to the cause and I pray you will be involved either by giving or serving or both.

If you are interested in becoming a member of Rainsville First Baptist, we will have a "New Member Class" on Sunday, May 7 with lunch and then a session until about 2:00.  You may sign up on the back on the Connect Card on Sunday, call the church office, or write us an email.  Child care is provided but it must be in advance.

Vacation Bible School is June 11-15 and you responded well on the first day of signups.  If you did not sign up this past Sunday, there is a sign up sheet in the Foyer or you may contact Whitney Traylor directly.

Our last mission trip to Mobile is July 1-8.  We have the usual opportunities of service and would love for you to pray about going.

All the staff goes and it is a highlight of Rainsville First's year.

For more information or answers to questions, contact Keith Beatty or Greg Wigley.

Continue to pray for the Personnel Team and myself as we seek God's choice for our next Student Pastor.

If you know of anyone that would like to submit a resume for this part-time (bi-vocational) ministerial position, have them send the resume to Rainsville First Baptist Church, P.O. Box 585, Rainsville, AL 35986 (256-638-3141) or email it to me directly or drop it by the church office.  Deadline to receive resumes is May 31.

Love you and thank God for you.  Looking forward to seeing you tonight at 6:10.
