Today's the Day!

    Today begins an exciting chapter in the history of Batley Baptist Church.  This morning will be old fashioned harvest day.  A lot of folks will be wearing old fashioned clothes to the service.  After church we will have an old fashioned meal that will include pinto beans, onions, greens, peach cobblers, etc.  We are doing this as a promotion for our Sunday School.  Our Sunday School has been growing steadily over the last couple of years.  We now regularly run about 160 in Sunday School.  I praise God for godly teachers that not only teach the Word of God, but have a genuine love for their class members. 
    Tonight we will start our Revival meeting.  For those of you who have never heard Terry Trivette, you are in for a treat if you come.  Terry is a young man that has a genuine love for our Lord.  I have had the privlege of preaching revival in his church, White Oak Baptist in Trenton GA.  During the time I was there, I had the privlege of spending a lot of time with Terry.  I cherish the time we had together and the friendship that we have that will last for all eternity.  We will not only have great preaching, we will have great singing.  The McKameys will be singing on Sunday and Wednesday night.  The Youngs will be singing on Monday night and the Joyaires will sing on Tuesday night.  Please make plans to be with us.  Services start at 6:00 on Sunday night and at 7:00 on Monday through Wednesday night.
    Tomorrow I begin Chemotherapy again.  I will be wearing a chemotherapy pump after the initial treatment from Monday through Wednesday.  I will have the pump during the Monday and Tuesday night of revival.  Please pray that I will not be sick during this week and I will be able to enjoy the revival meeting.  You have overwhelmed me with your love and prayers during this difficult time in my life.  Don't be surprised if a million years from now, I am still walking up to you on the Streets of Glory and thanking you again!
