Gospel Meeting at St. Andrews Road
March 28 – 31
Special Guest Preacher: David Pharr
Charlotte Avenue in Rock Hill
Our Theme: The Ancient Faith for the Modern World

Our gospel meeting is now only a week away! Please make special plans to meet with your fellow Christian brothers and sisters for worship, fellowship and study on Sunday and then each evening, Monday through Wednesday at 7:00 p.m.

Jesus quoted from the Old Testament (Deuteronomy 8:3) in Matthew 4:4; “Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God.” Jesus is exactly right. He always is! Our world hungers and thirsts after the knowledge, purpose, and the word of God. You will be so very glad that you were present to share in this wonderful spiritual feast.

Congratulations to Brianna Jenkins! She is one of the most intelligent young ladies I know. She is kind, helpful, and always smiling. Brianna made the trip to the youth rally in Georgia last weekend with our youth group and upon returning home made the most important decision in life. She decided to confess Jesus as the Son of God and be baptized for remission of her sins. Please let Brianna know how much we love her and how proud we are that she made the decision to become a Christian.

God continues to bless us with rich blessings. Let us always be thankful to Him for His power to salvation in the gospel of Christ (Romans 1:16). Let us always be thankful for His provision for our every need (Matthew 6). Let us always be thankful for His protection as we live the Christian life (Psalm 23:1-5). Let us always be thankful for the promise of goodness and mercy all the days of our lives, and that one day we will live in His house forever (Psalm 23:6).

Our monthly Men’s and Preachers’ Meeting at SAR this past Tuesday was a good one. Brother Richard Ramkinson, minister at Windsor Lake did an outstanding job presenting the program. Brother Bill Young will have our program in April. Mark you calendar for April 20th at 10:00 a.m. for this meeting. We meet every third Tuesday in the month from 10:00 to 12:00.

This Sunday morning we will conclude our series “Looking to Jesus.” This week we will focus our attention on VISION. Do you sometimes have trouble seeing the path that you need to take in life? Know that there will always be uncertainty. There will always be risk in every worthwhile opportunity. Our enemy, the devil always attempts to cloud our vision. God’s word is written to us to help us see the path to God. If you would like to read ahead, read Hebrews 11:24-29 about how Moses was able to see past the passing pleasures of sin to take the right path to God. This path includes identity, responsibility, priority, and difficulty.

Cindi and I will be traveling to Alabama to visit my 94 year old grandmother then on to Arkansas to spent a few days with our daughter and grandchildren. My grandmother, Tennie Burleson suffered a heart attack last Sunday morning and remains in the hospital in Hamilton, Alabama recovering. Please remember her in your prayers to our Father. We plan to return home on Friday of next week, Lord willing. Remember us in your prayers to God as we travel. Thank you for allowing me to be away.

May God bless us to ask, to seek, and to knock! His promises are sure!
