Eighteen enthusiastic Young at Hearts attended the kick-off luncheon in January, where they enjoyed yummy soups, crackers, sandwiches, and scrumptious desserts. Our offering now goes to the Disaster Relief Fund for the various Baptist teams that go out and help in times of need. This month's offering was $24.
February is always a fun month because the Young at Hearts host the annual Jake Buchanan Valentine Supper. It will be held Sunday, February 15, at 5:00 p.m., in place of our evening service. The church will provide chicken, and everyone is invited to bring a favorite dish to pass: vegetable, salad, or dessert. It's a church-wide event, so everyone is invited!
We have very grateful hearts for the way the recent snowstorm bypassed our area. Many areas experienced trees and power lines down, but God graciously spared us. Thank You, Lord!
We can experience the warmth of God's love as we come to Him with our praises and petitions. Please continue to pray for Jim Lancaster, Jeannie Huscusson, Ray Hyde, and Lynn Birchfield, as well as Ronney Craig, Robin Gibson, Pat Sealy, Wanda Beck, Pat Reed, Linda Graham, and Bill Mintz. Others needing our continuing prayers include Jackie Higdon, Nancy Huffines, Ruth Cochran, Lee Ellen Rickett, Charlotte Clutton, Louise Phillips and her son Larry as her caregiver, Johnnie Brock, Dolly Rice, Darrell Dailey, Tricia Dailey's sister, Michelle, Burke West, Kenneth and Priscilla Cope, Cricket Gray, Marilyn Raxter, Reba Gibson, Kathy Nichols, Barb Jones, Tim Tyler and Phoebe Jackson. If you know of anyone else to be added to our prayer list (or removed from it), please give Ronney Craig a call at 321-5512.
It is a privilege to continue to regularly remember our Pastor Calvin and his family, our student pastor, Warren Carlile, deacons and their families, Jennifer Farr and musicians, teachers and leaders in the various Sunday and Wednesday evening classes, and each one who has a unique part in making Andrews First Baptist Church a lighthouse for Jesus. Pray for the safety of our students and staff as they go to school each day, also those in college. And always remember our military keeping us safe, as well as our first responders. Pray for our country and President Trump!
Happy Valentine's Day!
