From the Shepherd's Heart...Wednesday, June 21, 2017

I am looking forward to our gathering tonight at 6:10 as I will continue to share about "Loving Your Enemies" from Luke 6:27-38  Ouch. Tonight we are talk more about retaliation and how we are leave that to God - we are to love. This will raise some interesting questions about our Biblical responses to our enemies.  I look forward to our time together.

Tonight is also our monthly business meeting at the very beginning of the service.  It is our joy to present tonight a new team to continue the ministry of Kendle's Friends.

We continue to pray for the 12 members of the Nicaragua Mission Team.  They return on Sunday afternoon.

Our Mobile Mission Trip is just around-the-corner.  This is our last year in Mobile and are so delighted to be welcoming the Mountain View Baptist Church as our companions this year.  We have a great team leaving July 1 and returning July 8.  It's not too late to go. If you are interested, let Keith Beatty or Greg Wigley know.  We'll make room for you!!
