“OLD FASHION DAY”
January 21, 2018

Well, Sunday was the first Sunday of the New Year and we started off pretty good. We still have many who were sick and were not able to be present. I am thankful that many the sick were well enough to be back in the House of God. Please pray for all those who are still sick! We gave out to everyone present a “2018 Pocket Calendar” the past two Sundays. If you did not get one, be sure to see one of the ushers and they will give you one. I am not sure how many are left but we want them to be put to use and not wasted. I preached a message entitled, “Sufficient Grace for 2018” in the Morning Service. Jesus said, “My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness.” (II Corinthians 12:9) I preached in the Evening Service, “Keep Your Eyes on Jesus in 2018.” Jesus said, “Fear not, I am the first and the last. I am he that liveth, and was dead; and behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and the earth.” (Revelation 1:17, 18) We serve a LIVING SAVOIR!

“Old Fashion Day” is January 21, 2018. We have the “Bryar Patch and the Stickers” going to be providing our special music. Joshua Steven is a member of the group and they will be playing different instruments and singing. Joshua Stevens is a faithful member of Fundamental Baptist Church. I’m excited about them being with us on our special day. We will have “dinner of the grounds” (pot-luck.) You may dress “old fashion.” Start now to plan to attend and bring someone with you!

We are hosting the Red River Valley Baptist Pastor’s Fellowship on Thursday, February 1, 2018. I ask all our choir members to try and be here at least for the first part of the meeting (9:30am—10:30am). We have had a choir for the last several years and it is such a blessing to the preachers. We will be serving a continental breakfast at 8:30am. The meeting is from 9:30am—Noon. We will be feeding everyone after the meeting, so we need help with food. My wife will be meeting with the ladies to plan the meal. We have three pastors scheduled to preach.

Rev. Charles Pugh (First Baptist Church, Cottondale, TX)
Rev. Kevin Hymer (Fairpark Baptist Church, Ft. Worth, TX)
Rev. George Newcomb (Heritage Baptist Church, Arlington, TX)

Please pray for those on our “Church Prayer List.” Neva and I love you very much!

Your Pastor,
Bro. Gary

P.S. Don’t forget to be in your place tonight for PRAYER/BIBLE STUDY @ 7:00pm. Business Meeting and a message entitled, “God’s Favor on the New Year.”
