New Week - Blessings and Prayer Requests

Sunday's Bible text was taken from Psalms 1:
 
Blessed is the man
Who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly,
Nor stands in the path of sinners,
Nor sits in the seat of the scornful;
 But his delight is in the law of the LORD,
And in His law he meditates day and night.
 He shall be like a tree
Planted by the rivers of water,
That brings forth its fruit in its season,
Whose leaf also shall not wither;
And whatever he does shall prosper.  
The ungodly are not so,
But are like the chaff which the wind drives away.
Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment,
Nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.  
For the LORD knows the way of the righteous,
But the way of the ungodly shall perish.
 

We were reminded about our choices, blessings, judgement, diligence, obedience and prayer.  The sermon was filled with encouragement to live a life pleasing to the Lord and to enjoy His blessings. 

May we ponder on these verses this week and seek to be all God has called us to be.  May we spend time and lift one another up in prayer and minister with love to each other.  Here are some requests that have been shared:
 
  • Latains S's sister - Virginia has a granddaughter who will undergo her 2nd brain surgery tomorrow.
  • Felton and Mary Lou's daughter Lori is in the hospital and granddaughter Bridget is facing some serious oral surgery.
  • Jimmy S. spent a few days in the hospital last week and is undergoing some testing.
  • Bill D.' brother will have surgery this week and we have been asked to pray for his salvation.
  • Janet W.'s mother will have serious surgery in November.  She is still struggling with weakness and health issues.  Please pray for her to gain the needed strength for surgery and  for this surgery to correct the issues she has been struggling with for a long time.
  • Margaret T. is at home recovering from knee surgery.
  • Fall Festival- may this go well and be an opportunity for outreach for our church.
