THOMPSON CHURCH                                                                                            Bro. Kim Lowe, Pastor

Greetings from Thompson. We have enjoyed a very good start to 2008. We have several new families that have been attending church for which we are truly thankful. We are very glad to have several young couples who have been attending with us and pray that God continues to bless our church.

 

We have had some very good preaching by Brothers L.C. Hollingsworth, Roger Frazee and Paul Frazee over the past few weeks and have had some very inspiring services.

 

We voted to have "The Southern Harmony Quartet" to be our guest singers at homecoming on Sunday, May 6th. We will elect our evangelist for the Spring Revival at next month’s conference.

 

We have several members and friends in the community who are on our prayer list and ask our brothers and sisters to help us pray for the following people: Jason Duke, David Webb, James Hedge, Patrick Anthony, Cordell Rogers, Polly McEwen, Monroe Sarratt, and family of J.W. Horton.

GALILEE CHURCH                                                                                  Bro. Jerry Hollingsworth, Pastor Greetings from Galilee. We have been feeling the effects of the bad weather and flu season on our attendance. But we still feel the Lord blessing us. Sunday morning, Feb. 24th, one young man was saved, Mark Rose. Then the young man who brought him to church, David Bradford, joined Galilee. We are proud to have him as a new member.

 

Please continue to remember Sis. Christine Hollingsworth and her family in prayer.  Sis. Billy Morris will be having a growth removed from her forehead this week. Please keep her in your prayers. Remember Sis. Polly McEwen. It has been quite a while since she was able to attend church. Just keep our church and community in your prayers. God Bless!

 

 

SANDY POINT CHURCH                                                                               Bro. Mike Melton, Pastor

We have had two church members to have back surgery this month, Bro. O'Neal Melton and Bro. Leonard Greer.  Both are doing well at this time.  Please continue to pray for all the sick as there are many in our church families.

 

Spring is almost around the corner and Easter services will be soon.  Let's start preparing ourselves for this wonderful occasion now.

PLEASANT VIEW CHURCH                                                                  Bro. Wayne Gordon, Pastor

Greetings from Pleasant View!  As many of you know, Bro. Wayne was in the hospital at Western Baptist in Paducah for a few days earlier this month.  He is back home now and doing well, and he is back in the pulpit.  Praise the Lord!  We were so blessed to have Bro. Mark Hollingsworth fill in for him for a couple of Sundays.  It is always an honor to have Bro. Mark and Sis. Crystal with us and we are grateful for the sacrifices they made to come and share God's word with us.  Also, we and Bro. Wayne want to thank everyone for their prayers during his illness. 

 

Please remember these sisters in your prayers:  Sis. Irene Yates, Sis. Frances Cole, Sis. Carolyn Rose, and Sis. Maxine Williams.  The flu & other viruses seem to be in full force this winter, let us all remember to pray for those affected by these.

 

We also want to thank Sis. Gail Gargus for the fantastic job she does with the newsletter.  We appreciate her efforts and look forward to it every month.

 

May God bless you all!                                                                     Sis. Cyndi Brandon, Reporter

As you read the following Scripture, notice the 20 underlined words.  Then find those words in the word search puzzle below.  Hope you enjoy it!

 

And when they were come to the place, which is called Calvary, there they crucified him, and the malefactors, one on the right hand, and the other on the left.  Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And they parted his raiment, and cast lots.

And when Jesus had cried with a loud voice, he said, Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit: and having said thus, he gave up the ghost.

Now upon the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they came unto the sepulcher, bringing the spices which they had prepared, and certain others with them.  And they found the stone rolled away from the sepulcher.  And they entered in, and found not the body of the Lord Jesus.  And it came to pass, as they were much perplexed thereabout, behold, two men stood by them in shining garments:  And as they were afraid, and bowed down their faces to the earth, they said unto them, Why seek ye the living among the dead?  He is not here, but is risen: remember how he spake unto you when he was yet in Galilee,

Saying, The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again.  And they remembered his words.                                              Luke 23:33, 34, 46, and 24:1-8
