Weekly Devotional

By Max Lucado
Dependable people are like diamonds. They are precious because they are so rare. Experience and know-how are great assets, but they are not much good without trustworthiness. Talent is wonderful, but by itself its not enough. Far better to be a faithful christian. Are you? Like Timothy and Epaphroditus , are you a role model for others? Determine to be a person others can rely on. Keep your word. Show up. Be consistent. Live for others. Take risks . Be a "go to" guy or gal. Make it your goal, by God's grace, to exemplify a life of spiritual steadiness.

We had a tremendous worship service at Rayburn Correctional Saturday night. We had Tabitha White and Celia Broom singing, Apostles Paul and Philip showed up and told about their experiences with the Ethiopian Eunich and Paul's salvation, along with a dramatization by Eddie Bishop and another inmate and brother Dale Broom brought the message. The Church choir led by Cory sang several songs and are wonderful. Every service we have ever had at the prison has been fantastic. If you've not experienced the spirit, the love and the wonderful music, testimony, dramas and preaching, you are missing a blessing. COME JOIN US!!

COMING UP!!! We have been asked by William Carey University to come back on Tuesday, September 30 and have another outreach to the soccer teams, fans and staff. We will cook hamburgers, hotdogs and trimmings. We will have some kind of music, singing or CDs and have a lot of one on one time with the people. We are showing that Christians can love other Christians without expecting something in return, BUT we are also planting seeds to reach out to the community around William Carey with the students and staff involved with us.

Jay Sanguinetti will be leaving the Shell Station at Hwy 11 and Hwy 59 Intersection at 5:30PM for William Carey, bring your motorcycle. I will be arriving at William Carey around 4:30 to set up the grills, tents, sound equipment, etc, if you can, come and help set up.

October 4th at Rayburn Correctional, we will be conducting the Worship Service. We will meet at Old Hickory Restaurant in Angie between 4 to 4:30PM, eating supper and going into the prison about 5:30 and be leaving around 8:30. IF you are not on the approved lists, email or call for an application. It takes about 10 days to get approved.

October 11th at Pike County Work Center in McComb Ms, we will be having a Saturday Outreach, where we will cook, have worship, preaching, testimonies, dramas, etc. we will leave Columbia around 7:30 AM and be back around 3:30PM.

We have other events on the callender for the rest of the year and will tell about them later.

God Bless,

Steve & Cheryl
