                                                                                                             NOTES

 

Revivals, homecomings and Vacation Bible Schools are underway or just around the corner.  Please let us know about yours so we can share the word.

 

We are asking all choir directors and singers from all our sixteen churches to join us on Friday night, July 18, at the Summer Crusade, to provide the music for that night.  This will be an associational choir.  Our goal is sixty persons.  Just imagine the sound that can be lifted by the singers from our various churches.  We will be doing familiar songs and will be able just to relax and worship to the highest heights.  Please mark this on your calendar and plan to be there.  Bob and Kyla will be joining us on Saturday night with their own brand of the best in southern gospel singing.  Also, please pray for Bro. Doug New as he prepares to preach these two nights.

 

A word of thanks to everyone who participated in the mission work trip to Elkton, Ky.  Due to sickness here and schedule constraints at the work site, not all our people who registered were able to attend.  We are working to set up a second mission work trip for later in the summer.  Go online at www.lookoutmba.org to view pictures from the work we were involved in.

 

No executive committee meeting in June or July

 

Please pray for Mount Zion and Welcome Hill as they follow the Lord’s leadership in seeking a pastor.
