Good Morning,
Today begins an exciting
week for the Frank family. Today is our
daughter, Sara’s due date and Thursday she will go in to be induced. Thank you for your prayers for our family
during this awesome week. Watch Facebook
for pictures.
This is also the final
week leading up to our Spring Revival, May 5-8.
I remind you to be praying for and inviting your “One” to attend as Bro.
Willie McLaurin will be preaching and Bro. Jim Wilburn will be leading the
music. We will have services Sunday
morning at 10:45 AM and nightly at 6:30 PM.
A special blessing each
night will be the Revival Choir led by Bro. Jim Wilburn. This is an opportunity for you to help lead
in the worship services by being in the choir.
Bro. Jim will meet each evening with the choir at 5:45 PM to prepare for
the service. Let’s fill the choir loft
every night of the Revival. Everyone is
invited to be a part of this special choir as they lead us in worship and
praise.
There will be Preschool
Care each night of the Revival in the Nursery area. Workers are needed for this important
ministry to the children, parents and congregation. We value our children and provide the very
best care during all services. This is a
true ministry of love to the least of these.
This allows parents to worship and focus on the service. It also is a blessing to the congregation as
a whole to stay focused on the word being preached. Thank
you Preschool Workers for the ministry you provide for all of us in caring for
the children. Kathy Reece and Elizabeth
Davis do an amazing job in organizing and enlisting capable workers for this
ministry. Thank you.
Just a reminder to be
using the “40 Days Toward Revitalization” Prayer Guide this week as we pray for
our revival. There is no substitute for
prayer in revival. As we draw near to
the Lord and He will draw near to us.
We had a great group of 23
ladies attend the Women of Joy conference in Pigeon Forge. The reports I heard was it was an amazing
weekend. “The Best Ever!” Be watching for information for next year’s
trip.
One final call for
graduates. This Sunday, May 5 will be
our Graduate Recognition in the service and church-wide potluck luncheon in
honor of the graduates after the service.
Plan to bring a covered dish and stay for the luncheon. Here is a list of our 2019 graduates. Please, if there are others in our church who
