Good
Morning,
This is a special day in
the life of the Frank family. 35 years
ago today, Fran and I were joined together as husband and wife. These past three and a half decades have
flown by as we have celebrated the birth of two daughters and now our
granddaughter. Wedding anniversaries are
a good occasion to stop and reflect on the blessings God has given. Looking through old picture albums, reminiscing
about the fun events of life, and reflecting on the blessings God has brought
your way can be good ways to remember and celebrate. Thank you for
the prayers and well wishes to me and Fran on our 35th
anniversary. It has been an exciting
adventure.
It was a blessing to have
James and Chao Wanje sharing in the service last night on marriage and
families. They serve the Lord through
the ministry Family Life as the family consultants in Kenya. If you missed the service you can watch it on
the church Facebook page.
This coming Sunday night,
July 16 will be a special evening of music and singing called “Singspiration.” Different ones in the congregation will share
in singing and playing instruments as we enjoy a night of praise to the
Lord. If you would like to share in the
evening of praise please contact Steve Dowell or Jerry Wilmore. You can also contact Bro. Matt or myself and
we can get you signed up. Maybe get
together with several from your Sunday School class and sing together. Let’s make a joyful noise unto the Lord this
coming Sunday night.
In addition to the special
evening of worship this Sunday, July 16 we will have a home-made ice cream
supper following the service. Bring your
freezer of ice cream or a tasty treat that goes with ice cream.
The Bible Pathways reading
guides have been ordered but we have not received them. I anticipate them any day. Sorry for the inconvenience and interruption in
your reading schedule. One way you can
keep up with the readings is online at www.crosswalk.com/devotionals/biblepathways. Another way is to read 5-6 Psalms each
day. Here is an anticipated reading
schedule for this week:
July
10 Psalms 88-93
July
11 Psalms 94-99
July
12 Psalms 100-105
July
13 Psalms 106-111
July
14 Psalms 112-118
July
15 Psalms 119
July
16 Psalms 120-125
This is the few
days of collecting adult vitamins, children vitamins, children cough suppressant, infant vitamin
drops, prenatal vitamins, and ibuprofen for the mission team to Guatemala. Please bring them to the Connection Point by
this Wednesday, July 12 for the team to pack.
Pray for the mission team from our association as they travel July 21-28.
It’s almost time for the
Smith County Fair, July 31-August 5. We
will organize our ministry booth again this year through our Sunday School
classes. This Sunday, classes are asked
to select a night of the fair to serve.
We will have water, sno-cones, games, photos, and a lot of fun
ministering and greeting the community.
Have a safe and blessed
week,
Bro. Tim
