WHAT A GREAT DAY AT TABERNACLE BAPTIST CHURCH TODAY. WE CELEBRATED 45 YEARS. MANY FRIENDS, FORMER MEMBERS AND RELATIVES CAME TO REJOICE WITH US. THE SPIRIT OF GOD WAS PRESENT FROM THE BEGINNING TO THE END. THE OAK GROVE BOYS AND TAMMY WERE GREAT AS USUAL (TAMMY, ROGERS WIFE SANG IN THE PLACE OF STEPHANIE). GOD HAS REALLY BLESSED OVER THESE PAST FORTY FIVE YEARS. GOD WILL NEVER LET YOU DOWN. FAMILY AND FRIENDS WILL FAIL YOU BUT MY GOD WILL ALWAYS BE THERE FOR YOU. THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IN LIFE IS TO KNOW JESUS CHRIST AS YOUR PERSONAL SAVIOR. THE JOY OF SINGING WITH MY BROTHER (BOBBY DAVIS AND PEGGY ETHERIDGE) WAS THE HIGHLIGHT OF MY DAY. WE SANG OUR SONG "I WON'T HAVE TO WORRY ANY MORE" ACCOMPANIED BY ANN GARNER ON PIANO AND THE OAK GROVE BOYS. IT JUST DOESN'T GET ANY BETTER THAN THIS IN MY BOOK. WHEN WE LOOK BACK ON OUR LIVES WE REALIZE THAT THE LITTLE THINGS ARE WHAT MATTER THE MOST. FOR THOSE THAT DO NOT KNOW THE BLESSINGS OF THE LORD IT IS HARD FOR THEM TO UNDERSTAND. MONEY, FAME NOR ANY OTHER THING CAN AND NEVER WILL REPLACE THE JOY OF KNOWING JESUS CHRIST AS MY PERSONAL SAVIOR. THANK GOD AGAIN OR A WONDERFUL SERVICE AND FOR ALL THAT MADE IT POSSIBLE. GOD BLESS AND HAVE A GREAT DAY. WE LOOK FORWARD TO BIBLE STUDY ON WEDNESDAY NIGHT. COME JOIN US AT 6:30 FOR A MEAL AND FELLOWSHIP WITH BIBLE STUDY FOLLOWING. THANKS AGAIN TO ALL THAT CAME. PASTOR ALVIN DAVIS

THE DAY HAS FINALLY ARRIVED. TODAY WE CELEBRATE 45 YEARS AT TABERNACLE BAPTIST CHURCH. I HOPE YOU ARE PLANNING TO JOIN US. IT WILL BE A TIME OF REJOICING AND PRAISING GOD FOR ALL THAT HE HAS DONE. THE"OAK GROVE BOYS AND STEPHANIE" WILL OPEN OUR SERVICE AT 10:00 A.M. WE ARE LOOKING FOR FAMILY AND FRIENDS AND FORMER MEMBERS TO JOIN US FOR THIS GREAT CELEBRATION. ON THIS DATE BACK IN 1974 WE HELD OUR FIRST SERVICE IN THE OLD "SOUTH LAND RESTAURANT" ON HWY 301. WE CHARTERED THE CHURCH WITH 38 MEMBERS. AFTER FOUR YEARS WE PURCHASED LAND FROM VERNON LOCKE ON RING WOOD ROAD AND BUILT OUR CHURCH. FOR THE PAST 45 YEARS WE HAVE SEEN MANY COME TO KNOW JESUS AS THEIR PERSONAL SAVIOR. WHAT A JOY TO BE A PART OF A CHURCH THAT CARES FOR SOULS. IF YOU DO NOT KNOW JESUS AS YOUR PERSONAL SAVIOR, PLEASE ACCEPT HIM TODAY. TOMORROW MAY BE TO LATE. IF WE CAN EVER BE OF ANY HELP TO YOU PLEASE CALL. 252-445-3206. I HAVE A SPECIAL REQUEST TODAY FOR CECIL WALTERS. CECIL PLAYED STEEL GUITAR WITH BOBBY DAVIS AND ANN GARNER FOR SEVERAL YEARS AT THE CHURCH. HE IS UNDER HOSPICE CARE AT THIS TIME AS A RESULT OF CANCER. GOD BLESS ALL THAT ARE GOING THROUGH TROUBLES AND TRIALS IN THIS LIFE. IT WILL ALL BE OVER SOME DAY. JOHN 14: 1-6. GOD BLESS AND HAVE A GREAT DAY. PASTOR DAVIS

I AM SITTING AT MY DESK TODAY WONDERING WHAT TOMORROW MAY BRING. I AM SURE MANY OF YOU ARE AWARE THAT WE WILL BE CELEBRATING 45 YEARS AT TABERNACLE BAPTIST CHURCH. I DON'T KNOW OF ANY OTHER PLACE THAT I HAD RATHER BE THAN AT CHURCH WITH FAMILY AND FRIENDS. I MENTIONED TO SOMEONE RECENTLY THAT EVERY SERVICE COULD BE OUR LAST. I WAS SAVED WHEN I WAS 25, STARTED PREACHING AT 28 AND HERE I AM 45 YEARS LATER AT THE SAME CHURCH. WE HAVE SEEN MANY OF OUR FRIENDS AND LOVED ONES GO ON BEFORE US. WHO WOULD EVER THOUGHT WE WOULD STILL BE HERE AFTER ALL THESE YEARS? THERE IS JUST A FEW OF THE CHARTER MEMBERS LEFT TO CARRY ON. WE PRAY EVERY DAY THAT THE LORD WOULD SEND SOME MORE ALONG TO CARRY ON THE WORK AFTER WE ARE GONE. WE ARE BLESSED TO HAVE THE "OAK GROVE BOYS AND STEPHANIE" THE" DAVIS FAMILY" AND "OTHERS" MAY BE SINGING ALSO. JOIN US TOMORROW FOR OUR CELEBRATION. WE PLAN TO START AT 10:00 A.M AND HAVE OUR HOMECOMING MEAL AT 1:00 P.M.. COME AND BRING A FRIEND. THIS COULD BE YOUR LAST OPPORTUNITY. WE STILL STAND FOR "OLD TIME RELIGION". GOD HAS BEEN SO GOOD. COME AND ENJOY THE BLESSINGS. PASTOR DAVIS

IT IS AMAZING AT WHAT YOU SEE ACROSS THIS COUNTRY. SOME MUCH CONSTRUCTION GOING ON AND PEOPLE PREPARING TO MAKE THIS THEIR PERMANENT HOME. THEY HAVE GOT A RUDE AWAKENING COMING.

EVERYTHING WENT WELL TODAY WITH ARLINE PITTS. PLEASE CONTINUE TO PRAY FOR A SPEEDY RECOVERY.

SPECIAL PRAYERS FOR ARLINE PITTS--BACK SURGERY TOMORROW

HOW MANY PEOPLE LIVE IN ONE TOWN AND ATTEND A CHURCH IN ANOTHER. I CAN UNDERSTAND IF YOU ARE TRYING TO FIND A CHURCH THAT PREACHES THE WORD AND YOU CAN NOT FIND A GOD FEARING BIBLE PREACHING CHURCH NEAR BY. IN THE PAST 45 YEARS I HAVE MARRIED, BURIED AND VISITED PEOPLE THAT NEVER GAVE A DIME TO OUR CHURCH. IT IS A GOOD THING THAT I AM NOT IN IT FOR THE MONEY . THE FIRST QUESTION ,MOST PREACHERS ASK WHEN BEING INTERVIEW FOR THE CHURCH IS, HOW MUCH DOES IT PAY? I HAVE BEEN BLESSED TO HAVE THE SUPPORT OF TABERNACLE BAPTIST CHURCH MEMBERS , PRESENT AND FORMER MEMBERS. IF YOU DO NOT HAVE A CHURCH OR A PASTOR, THEN WHO DO YOU CALL? MOST PEOPLE ARE CONCERNED ABOUT THIS LIFE AND NOT ETERNITY. I HAVE HEARD SINCE I WAS A LITTLE BOY THAT WE ALL WILL DO TWO THINGS. "PAY TAXES AND DIE". I WOULD LIKE TO CHANGE THAT QUOTE AND SAY THIS. ' WE ARE ALL GOING TO DIE AND WE ARE ALL GOING TO FACE GOD SOME DAY". TODAY IS THE DAY OF SALVATION. TOMORROW MAY BE TOO LATE. WHY NOT LET JESUS INTO YOUR LIFE? FIND A LOCAL CHURCH THAT PREACHES THE WORD. (1611 KING JAMES) AND SERVE GOD. TOMORROW I WILL BE PREACHING ON "SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL CHURCH" MATTHEW 16:13-18 AT 11:00 A.M. BRO BOBBY WILL BE TEACHING THE SUNDAY SCHOOL AT 10:00 AM. ,"DWELLING IN CANAAN" GENESIS 13: 10-18. TRANSPORTATION AVAILABLE. 252-445-3206 GOD BLESS. PASTOR DAVIS
