FROM YOUR PASTOR –

I’ve heard stories of mothers who were great prayer warriors spending hours praying for their families, being awakened by the Holy Spirit in the middle of the night just when a family member or friend needed prayer, and who persevered in prayer even when it seemed it wasn’t making a difference.

One of those mothers was Susanna Wesley, who lived in the early 1700’s and birthed 19 children. Two of those children were John Wesley, estimated to have preached to almost a million people, and Charles Wesley, who wrote over 666 hymns. Susanna supposedly vowed to never spend more time in leisure entertainment than she did in prayer and Bible study. Even with 10 living children underfoot, most days she spent 2 hours with God in prayer & Bible reading. It is said she would put her apron over her head during those hours as a signal she was not to be disturbed.

May we strive to spend more time with God than we do in leisure activities. Oh, may we be like those prayer warrior moms.     CLICK TO CONTINUE READING

BIRTHDAYS

Reach out to these & others in our church family especially those who are unable to attend at this time. Mail a card. Make a call. Send a text… And always pray for one another!

The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. Lamentations 3:21-23

WORSHIP & GIVING  

1 Chronicles 16:29 (NASB) Ascribe to the Lord the glory due His name; Bring an offering and come before Him; Worship the Lord in holy array. 

Worship God with us on Sunday mornings at 11am in the sanctuary where every other pew has been closed to allow for social distancing OR worship Him from the safety of your home. It’s not as important where you worship Him, but that you worship Him.

Please stay at home until you feel safe resuming in-person worship especially if you are over 65 years old or have health issues.

Our worship services include a time to share and pray for needs, to study the Sunday School lesson, a time of musical worship, and a time to hear the Word preached. All completed in only 1 hour.  After the worship service, take time to visit with your church family 6 feet apart on the grass lawns leaving the sidewalks open for people to walk on.

There are needs at the church, in Augusta, and world-wide that you can meet by giving to Lake Park. Part of the monies received pay expenses that continue at Lake Park. Part go to meet needs at various ministries throughout the world. That is the beauty of the Cooperative Program as Southern Baptists combine gifts to meet needs and share God’s love.

You can bring your offering to church on Sunday morning and drop it in the offering box in the foyer or mail it to the church at 211 Milledge Rd, Augusta, GA 30904, or drop it in the mail slot on the office entrance door anytime.

Pastor Bob: ready to Baptize in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
