Time Is Short!

May 5, 2025

Carolyn Curtis, cofounder of SOS Events Ministry, had the opportunity to speak to a wonderful group of women at Orange Park Baptist Church on Saturday.

It is always a blessing to share her story with others. Giving opportunity for them to accept Jesus as their Savior, and Christians to serve the LORD.

In this photo she reminds the audience that time is short. We must use the time wisely and use every opportunity to tell others about Jesus.

See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, Redeeming the time, because the days are evil. Ephesians 5:15 & 16

Everyday Rejoice!

May 4, 2025

We can rejoice everyday because the LORD made the day. There are days that we may not feel like rejoicing.

But this Psalm tells us of all the things God has promised to His children. Even in tough times we can rejoice because God is with us.

So today, if you are having a great day, rejoice. If your day is full of trouble or sorrow you still can still rejoice in the LORD because of what He has done for you.

Friends

May 3, 2025

A man that hath friends must shew himself friendly: and there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother. Matthew 18:24

If you have a friend or many friends, you are truly blessed.

Friendship is one of God’s gifts to us.

There is One Friend who is the most important friend of all. He is the LORD, JESUS.

He is the friend who you can count on no matter what happens in your life. Good times and bad, He is always with you.

How can He become your best friend? Believe He died, was buried and rose again. Ask Him to forgive your sin. Invite Him into your life.

Thank Him for being your friend.

Start Your Day With The LORD!

April 29, 2025

Awake up, my glory; awake, psaltery and harp: I myself will awake early. Psalm 57:8

The best time to spend with the Lord is early in the morning. It’s a great way to start your day.

Take time to read scripture and let the Lord speak to you. Then pray, thanking the Lord for all He has done for you, and then ask for your requests.

If you have to get up a half an hour to an hour early. It may be hard at first, but it is well worth it.

No Prayer Is Too Small For God!

April 22, 2025

Do you trust God for the big things? But when the little things are present, you think that it’s just coincidence or that He doesn’t care.

Do you think that praying for a parking place, or to help you find the color of some new furniture, or that you would receive a phone call from a particular person are all too small for God?

No, God cares for all of these things in your life. If you’re trusting in him, totally, he will supply every need and even our wants no matter how small they are.

No prayer is too small for God.

Plan “B”

April 7, 2025

When you have something planned for an event, party, or celebration and something happens just before that is unexpected, do you have a “plan B”? That means you have something to replace the thing that went wrong.

SOS Events did not have a plan B for the Annual Celebration that took place on Saturday.

Plans were made, programs printed. The Charisma Trio was coming to sing. On Friday that all changed. The Trio could not come.

The staff was decorating for the event when the sad news came. What to do? Pray. Then get together and come up with a plan.

That evening, the pianist, Sandy, opened her home and the newly formed quartet met for the first time for a short practice and the SOS Singers were formed.

They did a wonderful job especially because they had never sung together before.

God gave a wonderful blessing. The Annual Celebration was a great success.

When you don’t have a “Plan B” in your life, pray and trust the LORD to direct and things will turn out even better than your plan.

Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. Proverbs 3:5&6

Church, Important For Christian Growth

April 6, 2025
Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. Colossians 3:16

In the USA we are blessed to be able to go to the church of our choice. In many other countries this is not true.

Some countries dictate which church the people are allowed to go to. Other countries people are told they cannot go to church at all. These people are in danger if they worship together.

Church is important for our growth as Christians, fellowship of believers and help in time of need.

Getting Ready For SOS Events Annual Celebration!

April 4, 2025
William Slater Chairman of the Board

This photo is from SOS Events Annual Celebration last year. Today, the staff will go over to the venue and prepare for the Celebration which takes place tomorrow.

Many leaders, volunteers, and friends of SOS will be there. If you signed up to come, we will be happy to see you.

If you are going to miss it this year, look forward to next year.

What do we celebrate? First and most important, are the people who have trusted Jesus this past year. God allows us to be a part of thousands of people every year who got saved through the ministry.

Second, we celebrate the wonderful volunteers and supporters who give of their time, talent and finances to make winning souls possible.

This yearly celebration is fun and something we look forward to, but there is even a greater celebration that nobody should want to miss.

That is the celebration we will have when we get to Heaven and celebrate with the LORD Jesus.

Are you ready?

And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God. Revelation 19:9

When You Feel Overwhelmed

April 3, 2025

Do you feel overwhelmed and there is so much to do? No time to get it all done.

Jesus gave us the answer in Matthew 11:28. “ Come unto me“, He said.

Stop, take a few minutes to read His Word, pray and ask Him for wisdom, strength to calm to fill your mind and heart.

Peace will come over you and all things will be accomplished. Maybe some things will have to wait until later but you will have assurance that it is in His hands.

May God Bless You Today

March 29, 2025

Saturday is a day that many of you have special plans. You may be going on a short weekend trip.

Saturday is a day of shopping or getting together with friends.

To some of us it is the day we clean the house and get prepared for the week ahead.

Whatever you do today there is one thing that all of us should do. Remember that Jesus loves us and goes with us wherever we go and whatever we do.

Have a wonderful Saturday and use this day to bring honor and glory to God wherever you go.
