“Praise ye the LORD. Praise God in his sanctuary: praise him in the firmament of his power. Praise him for his mighty acts: praise him according to his excellent greatness. Praise him with the sound of the trumpet: praise him with the psaltery and harp. Praise him with the timbrel and dance: praise him with stringed instruments and organs. Praise him upon the loud cymbals: praise him upon the high sounding cymbals. Let every thing that hath breath praise the LORD. Praise ye the LORD.” (Psalm 150)
God, and God alone, is worthy of our praise! Take some time today just to praise Him for who He is and for all that He has done in your life! God is great!
We had a good day yesterday in our services. Yes, the service last night was different but it was good! Our VBS mission offering got a nice beginning boost. Our missionaries this year are Jack & Carolyn Ciak from Guatemala. They have been a blessing to Friendship Baptist & GRACE Ministries over the past four years and we are excited to be supporting them with this offering.
VBS – those three letters bring joy to the hearts of some and strike fear in the hearts of others! Depends on your perspective! We begin at 9:00AM today and end the morning session at noon. Our 6th – 12th grade students will meet from 6:00 – 8:00PM with Pastor Terry Rainey being the guest preacher. Pray for our VBS.
Nicole Taylor gave a good report on our AWANA ministry that concluded last night and will begin again in September. What a blessing to hear the number of Bible verses those boys & girls learned over the course of the year. Hannah Brock did a great job of reciting the books of the Bible. Thanks to all who helped with the AWANA ministry this year!
Mechanical problems on the plane in Mobile caused Alisha & Deidra to be delayed in their attempt to get to Guatemala. (Soy & Brandon are having to work extra hard to make up for their absence) Deidra will fly out this morning as she begins teaching a class at the seminary tomorrow morning. Alisha will wait and join Pam Landry on a flight in the morning. It is all good!
The team presently in Guatemala is from Faith Baptist of Bartlett and is being led by Ryan Johnston. They are blogging at www.teamguatemala2009.blogspot.com.
My conspiracy theory has been blown out of the water! I was sure that it was going to be the Cavs versus the Lakers in the NBA Finals even though the Cavs were down 3-1 to the Magic. I had it all tied to the Kennedy assassination, global warming, and a few other things but now I will have to come up with a new theory. Go Lakers! (I am a Dwight Howard fan!)
Gotta get Deidra to the airport. I pray that you will have a great Monday with Jesus!
