Sunday Caps a Great Weekend (My 300th Post)

Another great day at FBC

Men's Breakfast

We gathered at 8:00 AM for a fantastic breakfast. The men did a great job for the meal. Then, Mike Maloy, Pastor of Antioch Baptist Church, gave a great devotion/sermon this morning.

He shared a great idea for prayer meeting. Antioch Baptist is praying through the phone book. Each week they print the names of 5 people from the Leakesville phone book on a bookmark and distribute the cards to their members. They have been doing this since the first of the year. I think that's a super idea.

Morning Service

Christmas in August- We are spotlighting 4 missionaries during this month. We plan to send them a gift card at the end of the month. We are sharing a little about one of the missionaries each Sunday.

Adopt a Student- Boo White, Student Minister, led us in special prayer for our schools. Also, last Wednesday, he and his wife had our students fill out a prayer card that allowed them to record their prayer requests. Then, envelopes were distributed to folks that agreed to pray for them. Forty-two folks agreed to pray for these students. What a blessing!

Gideons- Danny Buckalew was our guest speaker. He shared about the Gideons, which is a Christian Ministry involving the distribution of Bibles. Coach Buckalew, former Head Coach for Richton, MS, was the most interesting Gideon speaker I remember.

Evening Service

Tonight, we completed our preaching journey through Romans. Personally, the process of preaching through this epistle of Paul has been very enriching.
