Upon the first day of the week....
Are you thankful for Sundays? Being able to set aside the cares of life and go focus on God, His Word and His people? We had a great start to the week as God blessed our time in His Word and our fellowship together. We had a family visit for their first time this morning. Please pray for wisdom for them as they seek a church home.
In Sunday School we are studying the book of Acts in the adult/teen class. I love seeing Peter after Pentecost filled with the Spirit of God. "They marvelled and they took knowledge of them that they had been with Jesus."
In our AM service the message was, "Do not join those who depart from THE FAITH." 1 Timothy 5 spells out how and why someoned departs from the faith and gives good protection against it. Please pray that God will establish THE FAITH at our church and in our area.
Last week was a great week in evangelism. Monday was perfect for street preaching. Tuesday I put out Gospel flyers in Bilston and had several good opportunities to speak with people. Wednesday, Pastor Dillman came over and we put flyers out in the village of Roslyn. Please pray for God to do a special work in that village as some there have greatly withstood the Gospel. Door to door is going well on Saturdays. We had some wonderful divine appointments. One lady in particular indicated she may visit the church. Please pray for her.
We have special guests arriving this week as missionary, Larry Pieri and his wife, Maria, arrive on Tuesday. Brother Larry is going to preach our midweek service before heading to Italy for a furlough replacement. The missionary who they are replacing is supported by our church here in Scotland. I look forward to our church family getting to know the Pieri's.
God's hand is continually evident in His work at SFBC. Thank you for your continued prayers.
