“Like as a father pitieth his children, so the Lord pitieth them that fear him. Psalms 103:13.”
Today is Father’s Day! We are privileged to have a ministry full of fathers. Godly men who provide, protect and are present in the lives of their family. Men who understand and accept their roles in leading by example. We the membership of Miracle pause to salute and stand with our father both past and present. God gave us fathers that love the Lord, their wives and children. Where would we be without father?
Church, let up praise and thank God for giving us men we call fathers. Pray for them, encourage them for who they are and for what they stand for.
Have a wonderful Father’s Day!

Serve the Lord with gladness: come before his presence with singing. Psalms 100:2.
On this past Sunday afternoon, our Children, Youth and Young Adults brought down the house! They sang high praises to our God and blessed everyone in attendance. Open Your Mouth and Say Something, God Will Take Care Of You, Lord Do It For Me and Jesus, Jesus, Jesus.
Church, let us continue to pray for and support our young people as they serve the Lord. Thank you goes out to Sis. Cynthia Tinson Jones, Directress, for her spiritual leadership and the musicians for accompanying her and the choir.

And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come. Hebrews 6:5.
The annual Great Men Cook Off was a memorable one. Our men, along with their assistance, provided us with a taste of soul. The food was good, the fellowship was great and the overall day was truly a blessing from the Lord. In my book, all of them were winners!
Church, let us encourage all of our men who participated in serving us a delicious sample of their dish. Thank you goes out to Sis. Roberta West and the Health and Wellness Ministry for hosting this event.
