I received this message from a good friend today, Pastor Fraizer Bowman. This note was just what I needed and I pray it encourages you as well.

The Word of the Lord as recorded by the Prophet Jeremiah says, "For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord , “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."

My friends, whatever you are trusting God to do in this season... hold on. God is designing a special breakthrough to exceed what you’ve asked. because I know

As I reflect on a recent Daily Bread devotional, it is encouraging to know that our redemption in Christ has freed us to live for Him. We don’t have to let our past shackle us from reaching our dreams or allow the past to dictate our direction as we continue forward. With God’s grace, YOU can “press on toward the prize!” (Philippians 3:14)

Extending Happy Birthday Blessings to a faithful and joyful member, Bro. Prentiss Johnson who celebrates 90 years of life and service to others. “To God Be The Glory for the things He hath done...” to enrich the ministry of among the good people of Georgetown Community, City of Jackson and beyond!!! Your life is an inspiration!!! Enjoy this very special day!!! Love, Pastor Johnson

“Her children rise up and bless her and her husband also, and he praises her” (Proverbs 31:28). Thank God for the gift of a Mother’s love, nurture and support. “Ain’t no woman alive that can take my momma’s place... there’s no way I can pay you back but the plan is to show that I understand. You are appreciated!” (“Dear Mama”, Tupac Shakur)

As we journey through this Holy Passion Week, consider those habits that hinder your ability to appreciate where God has you planted and where God is taking you in the “season to come.” for the rest of it!

We Spring Forward (1 hour) and I found this posted from Pastor H. B. Charles, Jr. for his members and hopefully will take the advice too. Try singing this to the tune of “God of Grace and God of Glory” to remind yourself to spring forward tonight and be on time for church in the morning!

Extending Happy Birthday Blessings & Wishes to Pastor Rev. Charlton L. Johnson! May this new season of life shower God’s rich favor on you, your family and ministry.

We’ve begun our Bible Study with Thom Rainer. Together we are sharing truths regarding the scripture, Matthew 16:13-18 and reflecting on how God is leading in this season. Together we are making our first of many petitions during this Lenten Season. Won’t you pray with us?

Prayerful Commitment #1: God, open my eyes that I might see my church as You see it. Let me see where change needs to take place, even if it is painful to me. And use me, I pray, to be an instrument of that change whatever the cost.
