Mt. Gilead Baptist Church

I believe it is the desire of every follower of Jesus Christ to be found faithful when the Lord returns. That includes being faithful when we meet Him in death. This week, we were all saddened at the passing of Myrtle Franks. Myrtle was one of only five people, I believe, still members of Mt. Gilead Baptist Church who were here when I became pastor. She has served in many ways, but most notably in Vacation Bible School and as our Church Clerk. In that capacity she was responsible to keep the minutes of business meetings, additions and deletions to the church membership, and official correspondence. We all appreciated her so very much, and we’ll miss her smile and her laughter.

Remember that next Sunday is our worship day at Dogwood Valley Campground. Worship begins promptly at 10:30, and we’ll have a picnic together afterward.

This week, be in prayer for the school systems in Morrow County, or wherever you might live. Pray for the students, the bus drivers, the teachers, aides and office workers, the custodians, and the administrators and school boards. Their jobs are vitally important to our communities and to the strength of our nation.

I hope you have a great week. I plan to.

Blessings, Pastor Lawrence
