Next Pastor's Conference Meeting...

Monday, January 9, 2012

________________________________________________

Pastors Prayer Meeting at Benvenue Baptist - Monday, at 10:00 AM. (45 min. of worship-based prayer)

We need to realize that the promises that overflow our Bibles will overflow into our own lives only as we appropriate them through prayer.
Jim Cymbala--Breakthrough Prayer (Zondervan)

If you have any ideas for the conference around topics, teachable moments, etc., please contact Rev. Tom Gearhart

One of our very own pastors, Rev. David Taylor (Oak View) has published The Five Great Promises of God. You too can read the sermon series that he published through Crossbooks Publishing which covers five questions that believers ask concerning their relationship to, and with, our Heavenly Father. This expanded sermon series came from a simple conversation started between two men who knowingly trust in Jesus and the Father who provides for our very life, every day, in all His ways.

Get your copy today by ordering online with LifeWay.com or Amazon.com or Books-A-Million, Barnes & Noble, or at Crossbooks Publishing. Or you can contact the author through calling him at the church (252) 446-5975.

Prayer Requests and Updates

Please pray for Stephanie, a young 17 year old from SW Edgecombe that suffers with Arteriovenous Malformation (AVM for short) and will be undergoing a 16-35 hour surgery in February. They will remove her jaw & the tumor with a further need to determine the extent of reconstruction of her jaw after the surgery. Pray for her, the family and very importantly the doctors for wisdom & skill in the surgery & afterwards.

Please pray for those affected by the results of the devastating weather in places that continue to affect families' homes and businesses. To those who have lost their homes, family members and/or their livelihood, may we show the love of Christ to those who haven't heard or don't know Him and may they see Him in all that we do.
