From the Shepherd's Heart - August 13, 2015

Dear church family:

Sunday is my favorite day of the week as the people of God "resurrect" coming from all walks of life to unify in one place under one Person to worship Jesus - our Savior.  I can't wait for this Sunday.

Read Colossians 1: 28-29 and see what phrase is repeated three times and that is the focus of our message this Sunday morning.

Before then...pray for me this Friday and Saturday as I preach for the second straight year in the "Behold Our God" Conference at Cherokee First Baptist Church, Cherokee, AL (Colbert County - six miles from the Mississippi line).  I will be preaching Friday night "The Unpopular God" and Saturday night "The God of Redemption."

Our church's worship service is now being televised on Farmerstel TV on the local station on Sunday at 10:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m.  This will not change anything we do in our worship service as we will depend on the Holy Spirit to lead.  The altar services and invitation will never be shown on TV - so we will still be able to respond to the Spirit, as He directs.

One other note....this Sunday night at 4:45 we are having (what will be an annual event) "Ministry to Minors" class meeting in the Auditorium.  The class will cover many topics related to working with minors regarding safety and security.  This class is for EVERYONE who works or is planning to work with minors in the nursery, AWANA, Upward, puppets, Sunday School, VBS, youth, Children's church....

Applications for service that must be filled out annually will be available and if you have not gone through a background check, you may fill out your paperwork at this time.

Childcare will be provided in the gym.

Then Sunday night, I am speaking on the subject "Leading Your Child to Christ."  Nothing causes more anguish for believing parents than when your young child begins asking questions about their salvation. I hope to help with that Sunday night.

We are still having issues with transferring my online sermon source from CrossRoads to Rainsville. And we are still (at least at this writing) still having issues with getting our church's web site live. When all of this happens, I will let you know where you can get all the sermons online.
