Already it is August, 2012! Summer is just about gone, with school starting back this month! We were blessed with a fine rain shower this past Sunday morning and it did affect our attendance at church. We really needed the rain, low attendance or not. Brother Donnie Martin delivered a wonderful message and Brother Raymond Grant gave the children a fine children’s sermon.
The congregation sang “Nothing But the Blood”, “All Hail the Power of Jesus’ Name”, “Surely Goodness and Mercy” and “I Will Sing of My Redeemer”. The Church Choir sang the beautiful Gospel song “The Royal Telephone”.
The Church youth are selling T-shirts to finance their various activities during the year. The shirts come in all sizes and four different colors and are selling for $10 each. The back of the shirts have a big flounder with the inscription, “Don’t Flounder Around – Get Hooked on Jesus”. T-shirt sales financed the children and youth camp this summer.
It is full speed ahead for the Church Revival next month. Brother Shannon Talley, Pastor of McAllen First Baptist Church, will be preaching both services Sunday, September 16 and nightly at 7:00 p.m. Monday through Wednesday, Sept. 17, 18 & 19. Everyone is invited to attend these evangelistic services.
From Sept. 24 to 27, several of our Senior Adults will be attending the Senior Adult Retreat at beautiful Camp Zephyr on the banks of Lake Corpus Christi. This is always an exciting, evangelist retreat. Brother Marcos and Sue Gohlke will be in charge of the music service and Brother George Yarbrough will be in charge of the devotions, sermons, and Bible study.
Brother Sam Craig’s Senior Adult Retreat at Palacious Baptist Encampment will be October 15 to October 18. Sam Craig will be the Camp Director and leading the music program. Bible study and preaching will be by Southern Baptist of Texas senior leaders.
The Annual Guadalupe Association meeting this year will be at Victoria First Baptist Church on Sunday afternoon, October 21. First Baptist, Port O’Connor, will cancel their evening services that day so all may attend the Victoria Annual Meeting.
See you in church Sunday!
