GOOD MONDAY MORNING, ACTUALLY IT IS SUNDAY AFTERNOON, AND IT IS REALLY WARM!!  WE HAD A GREAT ATTENDANCE SUNDAY MORNING AND A VERY WARM SERVICE.  IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT ONE OF OUR AIR CONDITIONER UNITS WAS OUT.  IT WILL BE TAKE CARE BY THE TIME WE MEET AGAIN AT GILLIAM.

  I HOPE YOU HAVE A GREAT JULY 4^TH CELEBRATION AND REMEMBER TO PRAY FOR OUR NATION.   WE HAVE SO VERY MUCH TO BE THANKFUL FOR AS AMERICANS.   I KNOW THERE ARE MANY PROBLEMS, BUT THE FREEDOM WE HAVE ALLOWS US TO SPEAK AND DO SOMETHING ABOUT THEM.  ALSO I AM PROUD THAT THERE IS A LEGACY OF MAN AND WOMEN THAT HAVE WORKED HARD TO KEEP US FREE…I TRULY PRAY THAT WE WILL HAVE THOSE SAME KIND OF FOLKS SHOW UP AND STAND AGAIN IF NECESSARY!!

SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT…..

John Claypool said, "I take a shower every morning, but I have no illusions that I am done with dirt forever. I eat breakfast every morning, knowing that I will have also to eat lunch and dinner--the lasting power of food is very short." -- It works the same in our spiritual lives with prayer and worship. When I engage in each, I am under no illusion that they will last me forever. They need to be a recurring part of the pattern of my life.

 

JOIN ME IN PRAYER THAT GOD WILL BLESS OUR NATION!!!!

 

SEE YOU SUNDAY AS WE CELEBRATE HOLY COMMUNION
