Our long awaited Revival begins this Sunday, September 16. The Church has been seeking God for Revival using the words from the Bible : “If My people which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.”
The Revival begins Sunday morning, September 16, at 11:00 a.m. and Sunday evening at 6:00 p.m. On Monday through Wednesday, September 17-19, the meeting will begin at 7:00 p.m.
The speaker for all services will be Shannon Talley, the senior pastor of First Baptist Church in McAllen, Texas. He is an open, friendly and people-loving man of God, who finds no higher calling upon his life than faithfully and forcefully preaching the Word of God. The Lord has greatly used Rev. Talley’s preaching ministry through the years and thus has seen the lives of many changed, having responded to God’s Spirit via his Biblical messages. Shannon’s wife Sandra is a great asset to his life and ministry via her dynamic and inspiring God-given gifts in piano and singing. The Talley’s are the proud parents of two sons, Kirk, who is a student at Louisiana Baptist College and Josh, who is enrolled at Marine Military Academy.
This Sunday evening, immediately following the service there will be refreshments and fellowship. On Tuesday, after the service, we will enjoy a “Fried Chicken Dinner” in Fellowship Hall and the Church will also celebrate our quarterly “Birthday Bash”. Those having birthdays in July, August and September will be honored. Everyone is invited to attend these special occasions.
Following the Revival, several of our senior adults will be traveling to Camp Zephyr for the Fall Senior Adult Retreat September 24-27. This four day retreat will feature Dr. Jimmy Arnold teaching the Bible, Bro. Mike Gresham preaching, Marcos and Sue Gohlke providing the music, and Bro. George Yarbrough giving the devotions. This is always an exciting and enjoyable experience.
Coming up this month on Wednesday, September 26 is “See You at the Pole” for all school children around the world. Our Calhoun School District students all gather around their school flag poles at 7:30 a.m. and pray for their school, our nation, teachers, fellow students, and all of our men and women in the Military. Imagine – all children around the world praying to God on the same day!
See you at church Sunday!
