Dear Fellow
Servants:
Joyce and I have made it safely to Africa; thank
you for your thoughts and prayers. While I am away, I
promised to leave you in good hands. Pastor Pitts did an excellent
job last Sunday. I am proud of her.
Take a look at the note below that I received about our worship
service.
I have been a member of MBCC for many years, but I
haven't been attending service like I should for many months.
But, something told me to get up and get to church yesterday.
All I can say is WOW! Pastor Janae Pitts delivered such a
powerful message and it was exactly what I need in my life
right now. I just want to give a tremendous thanks to Pastor
Janae and let her know her message was so uplifting. I can't
speak on behalf of anyone else in church yesterday. But, I
hope she knows that she made a huge impact on me and I am so
thankful to her for the message and the Lord for sending the
message to me through her. Pastor Janae is a very gifted woman
and I'm sure that she will continue to bless many
people.
This Sunday, you will hear from Rev.
Reginald Bell, Jr., who brought the house down on
Wednesday, May 6, 2009. I know that he has a special word to
share with you, so please be here at 10:00am to receive it.
Thank you for your faithfulness
to God and THE BLVD family during this time. Please continue
to pray for us as we travel and share the gospel of Christ
with our brothers and sisters in Africa.

KROGER/SCHNUCKS CARD:
BEGIN LOADING AGAIN
Have you been forgetting to load your Kroger
or Schnucks’ card? If so, this is a reminder to begin loading
your card again. Recent reports indicate that many of you who
have cards have forgotten to load them or have lost them and
therefore our children and youth programs are not reaping your
fundraising benefits. So, if you have forgotten, re-load your
Kroger and Schnucks’ card today. If you do not have a card,
please contact Bettye Boone at 901.272.5650 to get a new card. We
still need your support to assist our children and youth
programs, so please RE-LOAD TODAY and each time you get ready
to purchase
groceries. |
