Yesterday at First Baptist Leakesville

Yesterday was FBC, our Bible Study attendance was much lower than usual. The attendance at our Morning Worship Service was lower than usual. Probably, to folks being out of town for the long Memorial Day Weekend.

Mike Smith, the Minister of Music at FBC, was out of town with his family for the weekend. He deserves to get away. He and his wife are incredibly dependable. We missed them.

David Chatham led our music in the morning service. He played his guitar and Patti Zehner played piano. Also, David sang "Amazing Grace" with his acoustic guitar. He is very talented. David teaches at Greene County High School and has coached baseball. He will be going with us on our mission trip to Baltimore.

Thanks to Ricky Dickson, Malcolm Eubanks, and Dillon Zehner for trouble shooting our technical difficulties before the AM Service. We showed two videos paying tribute to our Veterans and those who died in the line of duty.

I taught the Sunday Bible Study Class at the Greene Rural Nursing Home. I substituted for Woody Rustin who is on the Associational Mission Trip to Brazil. I always enjoyed teaching out there.

Last night, Boo White, the FBC Youth Minister, preached. He did a great job. He has a wonderful way of connecting with the congregation. He uses great eye contact and he always uses humor appropriately. His sermon was based on John 3:16. For me, it amazes me that no matter how many times you have heard a scripture preached, God can still use an individual to bring out a nuance to the passage that sparks renewed inspiration. Boo is doing a super job.
