Association Bible Drills Congratulations to all our Bible Drill participants!

We had 15 in the Children’s Bible Drill, and 17 in the Student’s Bible Drill, with a total participation of 32! Due to so many, we are unable to list them all.

WMU I recently went to a Journaling workshop. My daughter-in-law, Ashley, taught different ways we pen our thoughts and prayers. Several of us women shared how we have journaled our legacy of prayers and thoughts to those who follow us. I have journaled since 1997. I shared from my first journal and another volume ten years later. You could tell how my prayers and thoughts became powerful as the years went by. Another lady shared her journaling experiences. She had written poems in her journaling. I shared, also, some of my Mom’s prayers that she had journaled. As we celebrate Mother’s Day this month, may we, as Mothers, be found Faithful to share and tell the next generation of God’s Love for us (Psalms71:18; Psalms 78:2-4; II Timothy 1:5). I want to be a Proverbs 31 Mother. I thank God I had a Mother and Grandmothers that were found Faithful. Happy Mother’s Day. Rita May is a time for graduation. Let us remember to celebrate the completion of goals and new beginnings. I personally have a granddaughter, Heather, graduating from Lumberton High School. I want to thank those who gave to the Annie Armstrong Easter Offering. You shall be Blessed for your giving. Also, plug into local mission opportunities. Be a sermon in shoes to those around you. Have a Blessed month.

From Carl’s Desk There is a beautiful hymn published in five Hymnals entitled Mother Knows. H. C. Dodd wrote the words and Flora Hamilton Cassel composed the music. Cassel copyright to the song was made in 1890. “Mother Knows” hymn is found on page 40 in The Broadman Hymnal, 1940 edition. It is a moving song remembering and honoring Mothers. Nobody knows of the work it makes To keep the home together Nobody knows of the steps it takes, Nobody knows but mother; Nobody listen to childish woes, Which kisses only smother, Nobody’s pain’d by the might blow, Nobody, ---only mother. Nobody knows of the sleepless care Bestowed on baby brother, Nobody knows of the tender pray’r Nobody knows but mother; Nobody knows of the lessons taught, Of loving one another; Nobody knows of the patience sought, Nobody, ---only mother. Nobody knows of the anxious fears, Lest darlings may not weather, Storms of this life in the coming years, Nobody knows but mother; Nobody knows of the tears that start, The grief she gladly smother; Nobody knows of the breaking heart, Nobody, ---only mother. Nobody clings to the wayward child, Tho’ scorned by ev’ry other, Leads it so gently from pathways wild, Nobody can but mother; Nobody knows of the hourly pray’r, For him, our erring brother, Pride of her heart, once so pure and fair Nobody, ---only mother. Serving Together In Christ,
