Last evening over 250 gathered in the beauful new facility at Lulu Bapst Church for our “Spring Night of Worship.” The music provided by Steve McDade, Sylvia Carter, Lonnie Phillips and the Pine Grove Choir was excellent. Two tesmonies from Zeb Howard and Larry Jordan were moving and served to remind us of the great and mighty grace of our Lord. Dr. Mike Tatem shared a mely and well delivered message from 1 Peter Chapter 1, “The Church In The World.” Thanks also to H. I. M. from Hopeful Bapst Church. We greatly appreciate Rev. Mark Cunningham and Pastor Samuel Lee for their help. Our thanks to Rev. Rick Wake and the good folk @ Lulu for hosng this event. It is important for us to come together and worship as a family. We may be, as Mike Tatem reminded us, “somemes dysfunconal,” but we are a family, a Network of churches. We do well when we worship together. Next Sunday, May 7th I will have the honor of speaking at the organizaonal service for Countryside Bapst Church, located on Highway 90 west of Lake City. Countryside, formerly Hopeful Bapst Church West, is in the early stages of their journey as a new church sponsored by Hopeful. Rev. Richard Rodriguez will serve as lead Pastor @ Countryside. The Cross Church of Columbia County, Rev. Ken Edenfield, Pastor, is close to compleon of their beauful new facility in Ellisville. The Cross Church should be occupying their new building in June. God has greatly blessed this new work sponsored by The Orchard Community Church. On a more personal note I want to say thank you to our Network Churches for their faithful support. This past month the financial giſts given to NFBN totaled $16,313.47. This is the largest single month of giving we have had in the ten years I have served as your Network Catalyst. Again, THANK YOU! One final thought from Pastor Chuck Swindoll, Many people fail in life because they believe in the old adage: If you don’t succeed, try something else. Truth is, success eludes those who follow such advice. Virtually everyone looks with hope that tomorrow will be a beer day. Don’t let the disappointments or setbacks from yesterday or even today bring you to a place of discouragement. Remain consistent regardless of the obstacles or odds. Remember, God is at work in and around you. Whether you can see it or not is never the issue, God is at work. “We Walk By Faith And Not By Sight.” Nothing works beer in the Chrisan life than sheer determinaon. Stay at it, keep on studying the Word of God! Stay at it, keep on praying! Stay at it, keep on being faithful where God has planted you! Stay at it, this I know, for our Network of Churches, for every child of God, the best is yet to come!
