COMMUNITY FOOD PANTRY The Community Food Pantry continues to give out bags every

Thursday with nutritious staples to individuals and families who live in

Winn Parish. They accomplish this task through the work of volunteers

from all over our parish. They operate solely through gifts and

donations from churches, individuals, businesses, and clubs – without

any government funds. Along with food items, they now offer eggs

donated every week from a local business, school uniforms, Christian

books and devotionals, New Testaments, homemade jellies and jams,

an opportunity to pray with a minister, and enhanced choices on the

“Lagniappe” table. Thank you for keeping this local ministry alive.

Pastor Search Committee Update

We have completed our meeting and now have a short list of well

qualified candidates. GOD IS GREAT! And now the tough part is

finding the right fit for us. Again, this time is critical and your

prayers are needed. Pray that we heed God's guidance through the

Holy Spirit to hone in on the one man that God has destined for

us. Thank you so much

A Note from Pastor Danny Keyes

I’m ready for a change in the way I worship and if you are too, read

this prayerfully. It has nothing to do with the preacher, the worship

leader, the musicians, the praise band, the songs that are chosen, or

the music style. It is all about me and my personal approach to

worship. I am going to apply the principle found in II Chronicles

29:27. King Hezekiah had restored the temple and he was working

to recover true worship. This scripture says “When the sacrifice

began, the song of the Lord began also”. I am not advocating animal

sacrifices that were required in that day, but I am taking note of

what Paul told us in Romans 12:2; “Present yourself a living

sacrifice to God”.

I am reminded that worship is not about what I want, what I enjoy,

or what I expect. It is about remembering what He has done and

then discovering what I can do for Him. I have concluded that if I

approach worship in the attitude of Romans 12:2, every song will be

a “song of the Lord” and every message will benefit my relationship

with God. When we come into His presence with the proper attitude

of sacrifice we will be drawn to Him, and true worship will result.

How liberating it is to know that no matter what songs, style of

music, or sermon I hear, I can worship and sense the presence of

God, feel his comfort, and find His path for my life. I want to hear

the “song of the Lord” every time I come to His house, and I know

that I can if I approach worship in the way Paul prescribes. Join me

in true worship today and every time we gather in this place.

See you in church Sunday,
