THE E-MORGANETTE

                         From The Pastor                                     

Ah, summer!  A time when we spend time outside, travelling, hanging out with friends, and just enjoying life!  As wonderful as all of that is, we need to remember that there is a lot of stuff going on here at our church, too.  As I prepare this column, our youth are returning from a GREAT camp trip to Foundation ’08, held on the campus of Tennessee Temple University in Chattanooga.  They heard from great men of God such as John Welborn, Johnny Hunt, and Danny Lovett.  Many of them have made what I pray will be life-changing decisions regarding their relationship with Jesus Christ.  We also have a great opportunity beginning July 6 with our Vacation Bible School (more information later in this newsletter)!  VBS is still the leading evangelism tool that we have as Southern Baptists.  Some of you may have even received Jesus Christ as your Savior during a VBS in the past!  If you’re not involved in our VBS, please elevate and bathe this week in prayer – pray for our workers, administrators, the students, their families.  Also, that same week, our Youth group will be on a mission trip to NYC with the youth from Palestine Baptist Church. This is a part of the ministry of John Welborn, too.  They will be working with Eddie Cole and through the church where he pastors.  Many of your might remember Eddie from preaching revival here twice several years ago.  Pray for the youth as they travel and as they minister to those in New York, that many of them will see their lost need and turn to Jesus Christ for salvation.

While these events are pretty major, the greatest event of this summer is our Revival coming up August 24-27.  Rev. Ken Freeman will be with us this week, which promises to be a church altering event!  We need to begin to pray NOW for this revival and for many souls to be saved during that week.  Continue to pray for Ken and his schedule that he will arrive safely and that he will be anointed by Almighty God that week.

What a summer!  What great opportunities!  What a great and awesome God we serve!

In Him,

Pastor Rick
