TUESDAY, 6/14/16
“Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O Lord, my strength, and my redeemer.” (Psalm 19:14 KJV)
Today’s Bible reading – 2 Chronicles 6-7; Psalm 136
Happy Flag Day! Also, happy birthday to the Army! (Do not keep up with the birthdays of the military branches but do know that the Army’s falls on Flag Day each year) Long may our nation’s flag wave!
This entry is coming from the Gulfport airport as I am heading to St. Louis, MO to attend the annual meeting of the Southern Baptist Convention. Obviously, the fare from GPT was much better than the one out of Mobile which is why I am here. Lord willing, I will arrive home late tomorrow night. Prayer emphasis tonight and Pastor Ted Traylor preaching the convention sermon tomorrow. Those are the two main reasons I am attending this convention.
Our Finance Committee has been meeting and working on a proposed budget for the 2016 – 17 fiscal year which begins August 1, 2016. The original plan was to present this proposal this Sunday, 6/19, but there was one matter that has made that not feasible. So, they will present their proposal on Sunday, July 17.
Also, we were set to elect three men to serve as deacons this Sunday, 6/19, for the upcoming church year. However, we will not need an election as we had three men nominated so they will be serving as deacons beginning August 1. We will present these men this Sunday evening, 6/19.
Our Trustees have met and will bring a motion to the church family this Sunday evening. Those details will be in my letter this week.
There is also some news concerning our student ministry. That will be detailed in my letter as well.
Frontlines Mobile banquet on Friday evening, June 24, beginning at 6:30PM in our fellowship hall. Tickets are fifteen dollars per adult and six dollars per child. See Elizabeth Westbrook or Ethan Nelson to purchase tickets.
The Cavs still have a chance! Forty one apiece for LeBron & Kyrie – wow! Do you think the Warriors missed Draymond?
I should be able to blog tomorrow. I am still holding some things from last week that I did not get to blog mainly because of a malfunction of the website one day.
I pray that you will have a great Tuesday with Jesus.
