One of my blessings is being able to put together the bulletin for my country church. My husband and I have been attending the same beautiful little church ever since we got married. Actually, he was attending there for several years before we married after his family moved to a farm just down the road from the church. I made …
My post is a little late. Monday instead of Sunday, but we had a big day at our house yesterday with our sons and their families here to enjoy the beautiful day of Easter. They came to church too. One family drove three hours and were only about five minutes late for services. Now that’s being a special gift to …
When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” …John 8:12 (NIV) I just got home for our little church’s yearly Candlelight Service. While most churches that have a Candlelight Service do so on Christmas Eve, we decided …
“The great gift of Easter is hope.” – Basil Hume I was so happy to be able to go to church on Easter Sunday this year. It seemed very strange when Easter rolled around last year and many churches, including ours, were dark due to the COVID19 pandemic. Of course, even though we didn’t get to have church services celebrating …
A New Year’s Sunday in Hollyhill Jocie Brooke here reporting from Hollyhill. Well, Holly County, actually. I’m not in town. I’m at our house. Alone. On a Sunday morning. It feels really strange to be in the house alone, especially on a Sunday. I have a cold. A sneezing, eye-watering cold. Even Aunt Love said I shouldn’t go to church. …
“A hundred years from now it will not matter what my bank account was, the sort of house I lived in, or the kind of car I drove… but the world may be different because I was important in the life of a child.” (Forest E. Witcraft) Since churches all around are having Bible Schools this month and I let Jocie …
“Sunday! A family day with a touch of weekend thrown in for good measure.” ― Anthony T. Hincks Don’t you just love Sundays – that day of the week when we pause for a moment from our work routines? Well, those of us who don’t have those jobs that have to be done on Sundays too like nurses and policemen …
Jocie Brooke here reporting from Holly County. Things have been pretty busy with school stuff. Those teachers love giving tests this time of the year. So I hunted up a report I wrote a while back about being out at Miss Sally’s farm again. Maybe you missed reading it the first time and will like this repeat. Reruns on television …
Homecoming means coming home to what is in your heart. Our church, Goshen Baptist, had a homecoming yesterday. We celebrated the church’s 204 years as a church. To put that a little in perspective, I looked back into history. Of course, 1812 was when the United States fought the War of 1812. It’s also when Louisiana became the 18th state. …
Sometimes you are blessed to get to know a person who is gifted with those fruits of the Spirit named in Galatians 5: 22-23. Love. Joy. Peace. Longsuffering. Kindness. Goodness. Faithfulness. Gentleness. Self-control. I have been so blessed and our little country church was so blessed to have Loretta Riley as that Christian person. I didn’t get to know her …
