Greetings on this wintry day in January of 2011. I trust that your day will go well.
PERSONAL NOTE: By now you have noticed that the blog is a day late. For that I apologize. I have been ill for about a week now and also lost my voice. I went to the doctor yesterday to see what was happening and he said I have a virus that has been widespread in our area. He had seen many cases of it over the last week or so. Needless to say, I am one of the victims. He gave me medication to take care of the problem and so I hope that I will be back to normal (whatever that is) shortly.
I want to thank Dee Wilson for leading the singing Sunday and Bobby Francis for speaking in my place in the am. service. Both of them did an excellent job. THANKS!!!
As always, I thank the Kings Kids and leaders for their participation in the worship service.
Please allow me to thank all of those individuals in our church who are primarily responsible for the financial distributions that are taken care of. Good work in the difficult year of 2010!!!
Once again, note our theme for the new year: PREPARED PEOPLE FOR SERVICE.

YOU CAN KNOW THE WILL OF GOD: In the Book of Hebrews, chapter 10 and verse 35 it says, "So do not throw away your confidence; it will be richly rewarded." The theme of this section is for the believer to persevere in the face of all odds. Maintain the same fervor that you had when you were first saved. Don't let Satan and the world wear you down. God will reward us. My job is to persevere... His job is to reward me for my faithfulness. This is God's will for you.
