Dear Fellow Servant, On any given Sunday
there are 13 million more adult women than men in America’s
churches. (Barna’s male/female worship study overlaid upon US
Census) Let’s do our part to change that statistic this
Sunday because this Sunday, June
20th, is Father’s Day. Bring your dad, your
husband, male friend and family members to church with you.
Let’s get some Jesus in us first before we hit the restaurants
and outdoor grills! Last Sunday was Graduation and Scholarship Sunday
at THE BLVD. We acknowledged high school and college graduates
at both campuses and recognized our scholarship recipients.
Congratulations to our graduates and all of our scholarship
recipients who will be attending universities around the
country. As I stated Sunday to all who were present, whatever
you do and wherever you go, be sure to take Jesus with you.
Stay in the Word, stay connected with a Christian church and
to the Jesus in you. I have had a few people ask me about the book I
mentioned. It is called Scarred by Struggle,
Transformed by Hope by Joan D. Chitterster. The phrase
from the book I mentioned in worship was
simply: It isn’t true that the loss of any single thing
will destroy everything…It is only the matter of being
detached enough from one thing to be open to everything
else. I am so very grateful that our youth and children
did a phenomenal job on Sunday via the Voices of Triumph and
Angels of Praise, thanks to the leadership of Jeffrey Murdock
and Wendy Baker. Excellent job ministering in song, praise and
worship. Wednesdays this month
we have been blessed with some powerful and anointed pastors
during our Faith
Filled Five Sons and Daughters Family Reunion. I encourage
you to come and be blessed with a message that will give you
that extra boost to get through the rest of the week. This
Wednesday, June 23 we are welcoming Minister Jason
Pearson. The summer heat is upon us! Here are three summer
points I want you to remember: Point
#1: Please be mindful of the babies and the elderly. Don’t
leave the children in the car for any reason in the heat…not
even for a minute. Please check on the elderly in your
community and make sure that they have sufficient air. The
city has air conditioned centers opened until 8PM that are
free to the public. Point
#2: Our upcoming summer sermon series,
Seven Deadly Sins, promises
to be one of the most sizzling series yet. We must recognize
the vices in order to overcome them. In this sermon series you
will learn how to gain your independence from the Seven Deadly
Sins. The series
begins appropriately
on Independence
Day, Sunday
July 4 at
both
campuses. Point
#3: We are in full casual dress mode for the summer. Dress
appropriately casual now through August. I look forward to seeing you and the men in your
life this Sunday! |
