A WORD FROM THE PASTOR:WE WOULD LIKE TO THANK OUR LORD FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO SERVE AT HAMMOND FOR APPROXIMATELY TWENTY-SEVEN MONTHS. ALL GLORY GOES TO OUR LORD FOR WHAT HE HAS DONE DURING THIS TIME.
WE WOULD LIKE TO THANK YOU FOR THE WONDERFUL DAY YOU GAVE US LAST SUNDAY (JULY 21ST). WE REALIZE IT TOOK A GREAT DEAL OF WORK BY A LOT OF PEOPLE TO PUT AN EVENT LIKE THAT TOGETHER. BEN'S GREAT SERMON, THE KIND WORDS OF AFIRMATION, YOUR GIFTS, OFFERINGS, THE DELICIOUS CATERED DINNER, AND YOUR FRIENDSHIP ARE VERY MUCH APPRECIATED. MAY THE LORD BLESS YOU. WE LOVE YOU.
SOME OF YOU MAY REMEMBER A SERMON I PREACHED LAST NOVEMBER, PAUL'S PRAYER FOR THE COLOSSIAN BELIEVERS. A PORTION FOLLOWS AND THAT IS OUR PRAYER FOR YOU:
"WE HAVE NOT STOPPED PRAYING FOR YOU AND ASKING GOD TO FILL YOU WITH THE KNOWLEDGE OF HIS WILL THROUGH ALL SPIRTIUAL WISDOM AND UNDERSTANDING. AND WE PRAY THIS IN ORDER THAT YOU MAY LIVE A LIFE WORTHY OF THE LORD AND MAY PLEASE HIM IN EVERY WAY; BEARING FRUIT EVERY GOOD WORK, GROWING IN THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOD, BEING STRENGTHENED WITH ALL POWER ACCORKDING TO HIS GLORIOUS MIGHT SO THAT YOU MAY HAVE GREAT ENDURANCE AND PATIENCE, AND JOYFULLY GIVING THANKS TO THE FATHER, WHO HAS QUALIFIED YOU TO SHARE IN THE INHERITANCE OF THE SAINTS IN THE KINGDOM OF LIGHT. FOR HE HAS RESCUED US FROM THE DOMINION OF DARKNESS AND BROUGHT US INTO THE THE KINGDOM OF THE SON HE LOVES IN WHOM WE HAVE REDEMPTION, THE FORGIVENESS OF SINS."
~COLOSSIANS 1:9B-14 (NIV)
