VBS STARTS TOMORROW AT 6PM

SERVE WEEK (Possibly the Final post) Julie Platt Lee, Piper Lee, Ashley Sims and her son, and our buddy Rafe, helped with the VBS at Turnerville Baptist Church this week. Seeing these photos made me so happy. After all, we are the body of Christ, made up of many parts. There are so many amazing churches in our community, and I am grateful for each one. We must continue to work together to make a difference in our city, and we are committed to do just that. As we approach our own VBS this week, I want to take the time to say how grateful that I am for all of the volunteers that decorated, and for all of those who will served this week, and the week ahead. The Lord knows each and every one of you. Your work is not in vain and it is very appreciated. Thank you Joshua Roberts and Lisa Estis for your coordination with VBS, and thank you to everyone who has stepped up, or continues to serve in our children's ministry. See you all tomorrow night at 6pm. I love you all, Pastor

SERVE WEEK Larry Posey and June Wiggins Posey had a tough week with Larry suffering a heart attack on Tuesday morning, but it didn't stop him from serving others. Yes, people served him and his family, but rather than just sit around and be served, they served. You see, Larry recently got saved, and since saved people, serve people, that is exactly what Larry and his family wanted to do. So, here's their story: On Friday, they took to the streets to find a way to serve that wasn’t strenuous on Larry. They found a couple of ladies trying to air up their tires at a local gas station for a road trip to Hattiesburg, MS. They decided to stop and assist them, but little did they know that they were the ones who would receive the blessing. One of the ladies took the kids aside and had a little church with them. Finally, they provided a meal to a neighbor who had a heart cath the previous day, while they shared stories of the goodness of God.

SERVE WEEK Preston Colburn and Robert Johnston cut their 73 year old neighbor's yard. God is doing amazing things in Preston and Sarah's lives. Why? because a couple in our church is committing their lives in order to DISCIPLE them. We must show people, not just tell them. It takes both.

SERVE WEEK (Here's why we serve?) Here's a testimony of the impact! Tiffany Thornton and her sister Shannon Pritchett DuVal had extended service today in the 3-4 year old room and they were cleaning the room after snack time. Suddenly, they looked over and saw Addison and Abby had grabbed their own broom and dust pan and started to clean up too. Our children are watching! Keep serving! Thank you to all of our volunteers who watch our children. You guys are amazing servants, and we thank God for each of you!

SERVE WEEK Stacy Blackwell Ryan and John Ryan are teaching their kids the importance of serving people. Why? because saved people, serve people. They placed "Smile Jesus Loves You" flyers on vehicles and took pizzas to the police department for their dinner Thursday night. Way to go guys! Yes, Jesus does love you so SMILE.

SERVE WEEK James Alexander, Melissa Mclain Alexander demonstrated to their son AJ how saved people, serve people. While James was cleaning the floor AJ took the mop and said I wanna help. Happy Father's Day men. Our children are watching.

SERVE WEEK (The post are ending soon) Chrissy J Kertscher shared with me these words and I couldn't help but share them with you all, because it's just that good. "Serving to me isn’t just big things. Serving is in everyday things like opening a door for someone who has their hands full or sitting down at a coffee shop and getting to know someone. This week I sat down for a few hours writing words I wish someone would have told me when I was going through the things I’ve been through. I prayed over the letters and for the people who will read them. I hope the one who is defeated finds hope again. I hope the one who feels broken allows God to put the pieces back together. I left them in Mokas for someone to Grab. Because of my work schedule, I didn’t get to do labor or interact with people. But my cup was overflowing when God was using me as a vessel to speak words to someone who might need them. I have not been serving as much as I need to. So this, for me, doesn’t just stop after this week. And I’m sure there’s a lot of others from the church that will do the same thing." YES Chrissy! Love the honesty and that is my prayer as well. That is the reason.

SERVE WEEK Marissa Nicole placed change on all of the drink machines at the local grocery store since it’s been so hot. Young people making a difference. Saved people, serve people!

SERVE WEEK Lawana Engle Knapp, Edna Bedgood, Sissy Giles, Sherri Ray Donald and Donna Betty Mizell baked brownies, and cookies to deliver to Citronelle dentist office staff, Citronelle nursing home staff, and the workers at the new O'Riley store construction site. Goodies were also left in the church kitchen for tonight's VBS workers. Saved people, serve people.

SERVE WEEK (another good news update) Christa Ann Byrd and her sister Brooklyn made some cookies & cards for the post office workers in citronelle! Kindness goes along way! Great to see young people caring about others.

SERVE WEEK Randy Reed, Regina Giles Reed and their daughter Raelynn, as well as Paula Giles Sullivan took some flowers and cookies to some very special ladies today (Mrs. Joyce and Mrs. Alma). They also blessed the ladies at South Alabama Utliities with cookies. Why? Saved people, serve people!
