“Just sayin’…Church is important. Gathering together as a group of believers is important. Encouragement from the Word and other believers is important. I’m not sure where you are today. Maybe you are tired…be renewed at church. Maybe you are depressed…be uplifted at church. Maybe you are discouraged by the church itself…be reconciled at church. Maybe you have lost your way…be directed at church. Church…Christ died for it. It’s important. Be thankful if you have a choice of church today. Some people do not have a church they have a choice to attend. You do. Be thankful. Go to church. It’s important.” Joy Bowker Crockett
Quote from the wife of a Pastor. She has so much truth and wisdom that her comments are worth reposting. Thank you, Joy.
Ephesians 3:21 Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.
In the waiting room at a hospital, waiting for news of a loved one who is in surgery or had a life threatening accident.
Waiting for the birth of a baby and the labor seems to go on too long.
Waiting for an exciting event. An engagement or a wedding.
Many times in our lives we have things when we have to wait for various events and we get anxious about the outcome. Our heart beats faster and we feel like we can’t breathe.
Take a deep breath. The Bible tells us to be of good courage, God is with us no matter what the circumstance.
On Saturday, SOS Events had 2 events in Florida. The Sugar Cane Festival in Dade City where 4 boys ask Jesus to be their Savior.
In Plant City, at a food distribution, 24 people had their lives changed when they trusted in Jesus.
Many of you prayed for these events. Thank you for your prayers. Now, please pray for these new Christians, that they will grow and become strong in the faith.
Matthew 11:28 Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
The coronavirus has caused many problems for Pastors. Each Pastor has many decisions to make that involve not only his family but the people in his congregation.
As the churches begin to open again, it is the Pastors responsibility to keep people safe, give everyone encouragement and most importantly preach the gospel.
Pray for your Pastor today. Tell him or send him a note to be an encouragement to him.
1 Timothy 5:17 – Let the elders that rule well be counted worthy of double honour, especially they who labour in the word and doctrine.
Romans 15:30 – Now I beseech you, brethren, for the Lord Jesus Christ’s sake, and for the love of the Spirit, that ye strive together with me in [your] prayers to God for me;

Today, SOS Events has 2 places that will have teams of volunteers to witness to people in Florida.
This photo was taken last month at a food distribution at a local church in Plant City. SOS Events volunteers will be at this event again today.
At the same time more volunteers will be in Dade City at an all day event. Please pray for souls to be saved. Pray for SOS Events workers that they have wisdom and power of the Holy Spirit.
Events are few because of COVID-19 but God still gives opportunities to tell others about Jesus.
Ephesians 6:19 And for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel,
Sometimes we feel that our world is in chaos. Maybe the news is depressing, we may have problems in our family, illness or surgery is taking a toll on us. Whatever the circumstances, there is one thing we can look to for peace and comfort.
God’s Word tells us that He is with us, He will help us no matter what we are going through. Look to Jesus today for comfort and strength.
