From the Shepherd's Heart....Wednesday, August 2, 2017

Tonight we finish Luke's version of the "Sermon on the Mount" as recorded in Luke 6.  We will be dealing with Luke 6: 46-49.  Then next Wednesday night we are returning to our study through the Book of Philippians as we begin chapter 3.  I love studying the Word of God with you and I always look forward to our time together.

We "officially" welcome Zac and Anna Gardner to our church as he begins tonight with our youth. All the youth are having a "Summer Ending" Pool Party at Gary and Amy Blevins' home tonight.

This Sunday is one of those "Red Letter" Days.  At 9:00 AM, all the youth and adults will gather in the Auditorium for a time of sharing vision with the church family.  You know we don't do this much, so when we do it is important.  Keith Williams and Anthony Cooper will be joining me in this time of sharing and I'm excited.

Then Sunday night we are celebrating more of the summer missions of Rainsville First Baptist as we honor those who have served in different places this summer.  Several of our youth have served in local camps and then Molly Veal and Jared Underwood will be sharing, as well. Let's show our love and support of these by being present Sunday night.

We are having a New Member class on Sunday, August 13 immediately following the morning service.  We will provide lunch.  We will meet in the Locker  Room.  Sign up on Sunday or call the church office at 256-638-3141 or email me here.

We also welcome Jeff Laney to our church staff. Jeff began Monday as our new Custodian as Bro. Tom Bradley is retiring.
