To God Be The Glory: All Church Work Day

This World Is Not My Home

I'm just a passin' through. My treasures are laid up somewhere beyond the blue. In the meantime, we are so thankful to be in the center of our Lord's will and for the blessing of serving our Saviour and the people of Bible Baptist Church for the last 35 years here in Kalispell, Montana. This blog is a way of keeping in touch with our extended families, church family, and friends far and wide. We feel so blessed by each one of you and what you mean to us. We are thankful for your prayers over the years and especially now. More importantly, we encourage every one our fellow Christian soldiers to "hold the fort". Use both the joys and trials to tell others of God's amazing grace. It is our desire to give Him the glory in all things. "Wave the answer back to heaven, by Thy grace, we will"

All Church Work Day

We are still amazed at the amount of work that was accomplished today! Pastor and Louise are so grateful for everyone who took the time to come and work, and for all that was done. We began with a list of 27 items that needed to be taken care of. All but two of them were completed, but several new things were added along the way. The church and parsonage grounds definitely look like they have received a "facelift" and many of us will be sore tomorrow! All in all, it was a joyful time of working together. From the many bags of leaves that were bagged to the huge basket full of dirty rags that went in the washing machine at the end of the day, there was much evidence of all the work being done. The chili, baked potato and cornbread lunch was a time of sweet fellowship as we talked and laughed and re-fueled for one more round of labor.

Pastor was so blessed to see so many faithful. He was able to come over to visit and talk for a bit . The walk over there tuckered him out and much of the pain increased afterwards, but it did his heart good to be a part of it for a while. His eyesight was pretty fuzzy today, so please keep that in your prayers.

We have a guest preacher tomorrow! Pastor Shawn Scribner is here visiting from Arizona and it will be nice to have him fill the pulpit again for this Sunday. His visit will be brief, but much enjoyed.
