Words Fitly Spoken...

God gives the increase...

Sunday, October 11, 2009
Each Sunday morning, the boys help me greet the people as they arrive.


Joey and David happily await the arrival of our church members!


David is very pleased to hold the door for folks as they carry in their food for the afternoon meal!




Dexter Bartlett is one of our faithful members and serves as head usher!




The Lord filled our nursery and younger age classes today with many children.




Our deacons faithfully count the offering each week wherever they can find a place!


Bro. Potter (left) and the Dornan's have been faithfully attending
Humphrey Baptist Church for many years. We appreciate the heritage they
have helped to provide and pass on to the next generation.

Our ladies work diligently each Sunday preparing a wonderful spread for our afternoon meal!

We had a wonderful day on this, our fourth Sunday as Pastor. Bro. Burrell was not feeling well so I led the singing. The Lord blessed us with 43 in attendance. This is a record for us since I have been here as Pastor! Even though we did not see any new visitors from the nearly 2,000 doorhangers, God chose to bring people from another direction - many folks who used to come have been visiting lately. May the Lord help us to meet their needs spiritually, and if it be His will, keep them around! The Lord gives the increase from wherever He sees fit. We just need to continue in obedience to His commands!
