RHODES AND JESS ROBERTS: VAPOR MINISTRIES
Rhodes will be sharing during the Missions and Ministry Moment this Sunday. He will also host a meeting Sunday afternoon for those interested in learning more about what they do. Good to see our old friends again.
CALLING ALL WALMART SHOPPERS…
OK, how about all shoppers? James Island Baptist Church works with the other churches and civic organizations to support James Island Outreach. We have groups of volunteers who go to help stock as well as lead in the ministry. We have become the “jelly” provider for the pantry. You can bring any kind of non-perishable canned good, but we particularly are supplying jelly for the James Island Outreach. When it is all said and done, the outreach needs at least 80 jars of jelly each month to make sure each family served gets a jar in their bags of groceries. So, as you are shopping, keep an eye out for sales, bogo, coupons, etc. Just bring your donations to worship and set them by the office door. We will take it from there. By the way, would you like to volunteer to help in this ministry? Let us know, we will help you get connected or get you the names of those who volunteer so you can learn more.
WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 15 COVERED DISH DINNER
This end of the summer evening will be quite the enjoyable event. We have several things happening all in one night.
First, we will share a covered dish meal from 6:00-6:45. Just bring, buy or send your favorite dish. What is brought is what we will serve. Second, we will see and participate in “Set One Free: World Crafts Ministry” from 6:45-7:15. Consider buying “Christmas” gifts in August that will help set someone free from poverty, slavery or prostitution. We will have some items available to see, but we will have catalogs for you to order from. Giving with a godly purpose…gotta love it. Third, we will end the night with our Quarterly Ministry Conference from 7:15-7:45. This will be a brief time of sharing, worship, questions and answers. A night packed with meaning that can make a difference.
PRAYERS AND MORE PRAYERS
The tragedy in Colorado is beyond our understanding. What a tragedy to hit any community anywhere, any time. But Colorado has had several horrible events. Let the news serve as an immediate reminder to pray for the victims, their families, the first responders, the medical professionals, the local government leaders, etc. may our Gracious Heavenly Father have mercy and may all involved be supported by His everlasting love and compassion. May the Prince of Peace protect their hearts and minds and grant them strength beyond their own.
Lord willing, see you this Sunday as we continue our teaching series from the Gospel of Mark. This week we will be looking at Mark 6:30-44, the Feeding of the 5,000. How do you trust God for a miracle?
