WMU - Rita Bilbo

I am preparing for a July mission trip as I pen these words. My Grandma Daniel was an officer in the Salvation Army. I remember when as young girl that Grandma would take me with her when her church would go out on the street corner and sing to the beat of a big drum. "What can wash away my sins, nothing but the Blood of Jesus." I was so embarrassed that my friends may see me with this group of fanatics. Now looking back I see God was preparing me for His Will for me to do the same some 55 yrs.  later. I realize what Grandma instilled in my heart was to tell others about Jesus. Now I am the one reaching out to people in need of the Gospel of Christ. "I am not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God for Salvation to every one that believeth." (Romans 1:16) Jesus Saves! I can see Grandma smiling in Heaven. By the way, my granddaughter Katie, is going with me on this mission trip in July. I continue the Family Legacy.
God Bless you. Rita

July is the month we celebrate the 243rd Birthday of our USA. We have taken our Freedom for granted. We are in a war to protect those freedoms that our country was founded. America has lost their love for godly values. Pray for America. Stand up for America. God forgive America.    God Bless America.
Happy 4th of July.

From Carl’s Desk:    

How To Stay Safe In The World Today:     

1.   Avoid riding in automobiles because they are responsible for 20% of all fatal accidents.

2.  Do not stay home because 17% of all accidents occur in the home.

3.  Avoid walking on streets or sidewalks because 14% of all accidents occur to pedestrians.

4.  Avoid traveling by air, rail, or water because 16% of  all accidents involve these forms of             transportation.

Of the remaining 33%, 32% of all deaths occur in Hospitals. 

      So . . . Above all else, avoid hospitals.
BUT,

. . .  You will be pleased to learn that only 1/10 of 1% of all deaths occur in worship services in church, and these are usually related to previous physical disorders. Therefore, logic tells us that the safest place for you to be at any given pint in time is at CHURCH!

. . . And . . . Bible study is safe, too. The percentage of deaths during Bible study is even less.

So, . . .  for SAFETY’S sake-Attend church, and read your Bible

IT COULD SAVE YOUR LIFE!

Under same management for 2,000 years. See you at church Sunday?

Serving Together In Christ,
