Late Monday Recall of Sunday

Yesterday and Today have been productive, but busy.

We started with a productive Deacons Meeting at 8:00 AM. Joe Glenn Errington facilitated the meeting in the absence of our Chairman, Woody Rustin, who was returning from Brazil with the rest of the Association's Mission Team.

The team landed in Gulfport, MS, just before Noon. Thanks to Freddy Hight for driving the van to pick them up.

In the Morning Service, a couple who has been attending our church for quite some time, joined. Avery and Pat Champagne are the parents for April Levine, who is the wife of the former FBC Youth Minister, Patrick Levine. They moved to our area approximately 5 months ago. The Champagnes were very active in Lemoyne Boulevard Baptist . This church has been incredibly active, and continues to be, in helping their area recover from Hurricane Katrina.

Significant increase in our attendance from last Sunday, which was Memorial Day Weekend.

At the close of the AM service, we prayed for Malcolm Eubanks who is going on the mission trip to North Dakota later this week.

I preached from Romans 8:18-25 in the AM and Romans 8:26-27 in the PM.

In the afternoon, I met with Roger Gilbert, pastor of New Hope Baptist, to discuss their upcoming Mission Trip to North Dakota. Members of our youth praise band, No Regrets, are going on this trip later this month.

I visited with a family at the funeral home just before 2:00 PM.

Following the Evening Service, our Stewardship Committee met. The meeting was fairly long, but a lot was accomplished. This ministry team is fully supportive of missions. They continue to freely support the mission trips our association is sponsoring.
