From the Shepherd's Heart...Wednesday, January 10, 2018

I am praying for you, church family, as you are beginning your 21 Days of Prayer and Fasting this week.  Tonight, we will gather for some time of music, prayer and proclamation.  But more than anything else, we will gather for encouragement. 

If you have started this adventure (and even, if not, but are still thinking about it), I want you to know you are on a good track.  God will work and is already working.

I am delighted to announce a new prayer meeting has been added for this month and this is such an important meeting because it is a corporate prayer meeting of our community. 

The Rainsville Ministers invite you to participate in a joint community prayer meeting on Saturday, January 27 at Broadway Baptist Church beginning at 9:00 a.m.  The first hour will be a joint Prayer Service with The Church of the Highlands via internet and then at 10:00 will have a local only prayer time for our community and area churches.  The Rainsville community and its churches are invited to attend.

Also - church don't forget as I announced this past Sunday, Broadway Baptist Church is hosting the 21 Days of Prayer emphasis from The Church of the Highlands each Monday through Friday at 6:00 a.m. and on Saturday at 9:00 a.m. through January 27.  The sessions last for exactly one hour and are in the main auditorium of the church.

I am planning tonight to deal with the issue of Philippians 4: 2 "in the Lord."  Our unity is in Christ, first and foremost.  I look forward to our gathering.

Upward Basketball practices have begun with games beginning January 20. Pray for Whitney Wigley and all our coaches.  It's going to be a great season.
