Our Second Anniversary

Sunday July 12th was our second anniversity here at Victory Baptist Church. We had a blessed day. Pastor had a great message on Abraham and the death of Sarah. It is found in Genesis 23:1-20
After the preaching and the invitation our Jr. Church children came into the sanctuary with a big poster card with all the signatures of the children. Also, every one of the children gave me a Red Rose. It was such a blessing. I could not hold back my tears. God uses these little children in special ways. I love them all.
Then in the evening after services they had cake and ice cream. It was a great time of fellowship. We are so blessed to have a church like Victory Baptist. Pastor and love them all.

A Day at the Lake

We had and invitation to go to Nacona Lake, Tx. Our friends parents have a lake house on the lake. It is a beautiful place, so relaxing. When we arrived we had a late breakfast which included Quiche, fruit salad, and a coffee cake. With a great selection of juices and coffee. After that we walked down to the lake and rode on the pontoon boat. It was about 95 degrees with a great breeze off the lake. When we came in from the ride. Mike set up the sail boat and we went sailing. It was so fantastic. It is really and art on controling that vessel. Knowing your wind currents, watching the waves, having control of the sails. It is very educational.
After a full day on the water we went up to the lake house and prepared dinner.
We had porkloin fahitas,rice ,red beansand dessert. Then later in the evening we took another ride on the pontoon boat. The moon was reflecting beautifully on the water. It was so relaxing. It was a great day with friends.

This past Sunday was our "Old Fashioned Sunday" Service. It was a special day full of fun and preaching. The children had a hayride and games and a corn-on-the cob contest. We also had a dinner on the grounds with a Texas style brisket and all the fixings. The services had an old fashioned flair with old time preaching and old time music . Later in the afternoon we had a costume competition and a chili cookoff, and a apple pie contest. Everyone did a fantastic job.

Servants of the Lord

Last Month was a blessing. We were able to have two missionary familes visit our Church.
The first Missionary family has been ministering in Cuba. It is so interesting, how they
have to be so very careful of what they do and what they preach. Always looking out because of the danger that is ever present. But they do have a few national preachers there to carry on the work of the gospel. Please pray for this Family "The Roes" and there willness to go and teach others about Jesus Christ in a Communist country.

The other Missionary Family was Bro Aya who is from Coloumbia. They need your prayers
and support for the work their in Columbia. Also it is another place of danger and much violance. They just lost and elderly couple from there church. They where found beaten to death by a gang. Just because of there stand for Christ. Please pray for these soldiers of
the cross. God bless those who would serve Him faithfully.

A lot of Love

We had a beautiful Wedding today for Mandy and Todd. It was so full of Gods love. This couple is truely in love with one another. They just want to honor the Lord in their lives, and put Him in the center of their relationship with one another.
The Church was decorated in such away that it looked like a peaceful garden. With the archway covered in lavendar and white wisteria. The isles were arrrayed with vases of blue and purple Hydrangas and green ivy and lace. It was beautiful.. Everything want off so smoothly, from the giving of the Bride to the introduction of this New Couple. Praise the Lord!
"And he will love thee, and bless thee........Deuteronmy 7:13
We thank the Lord for all his blessed Promises. Sometimes the most simple things in life are the most blessed.
I am so Thankful for all the the help and work that made this a special day for this young couple.
