BULLETIN

RAY’S REMARKS:

Hello brethren! I hope you are having a blessed week! We

certainly have every reason to be thankful to God and happy, for our God

has given us every physical and spiritual need of this life.

Last Sunday was a great Lord’s day as always. It is so wonderful to be with our brethren and to worship our Creator. It is also a blessing to share in our fellowship and love of one another. It is great to have such a loving and caring church family.

Brethren, we especially need to remember sister Pat in our prayers over the next few weeks. She has ruptured another disc, above where they have done work on her back in the past and now she is going to have surgery again. She is now back at home and they have done pretty well controlling her pain, but she will have surgery as soon as the surgeon can get her scheduled. Let’s remember her, Larry and the family as they deal with this health problem.

Well, we are in our final quarter for the year at the BIM. I know the men are getting excited about the summer break and having some time to recover from all the study of this year and to prepare for the study of next year. Brother Cory is going to be graduating this year and seems to be excited about finishing school, as he literally counts down the day. Please keep all these good men in your prayers as well as the instructors and supporters of this good work. God has truly blessed us to be a part of such an important work in His kingdom.

I also got a report from brother Williams in Ghana last week. Everything is going well with the school there and the students are still very serious about their studies. Let’s remember this good work and the works in Zambia and Uganda, as so many faithful men are being trained to do the work of the Lord. Praise God for such opportunities to serve in His kingdom.

Well, I look forward to seeing you all tonight as we gather for Bible study and Worship. Also remember that the Lord’s day will be here soon and we will all have the honor to assemble before God’s Throne as His people. I know you will be present and ready to give God your best. God bless.
