Hope everyone had a good Father’s Day.
It always brings good memories back to me – I had a great father, we spent days, nights, weeks, months, years of time together.
He always had something to make you feel happy – words of encouragement or a good meal he had cooked.
My daddy taught us about life – my three sisters and three brothers. I always wanted to be like my daddy because he had a way about him that made everybody feel like they were loved and cared for.
I am thankful to my Heavenly Father because He did what no earthly father could do – He died to save us and set us free from all our sin.
We can pray that, as believers in Christ Jesus, men and women, boys and girls everywhere will be saved from their sins.
During the rough times of life we can pray. We can pray when things are going good in our life. Prayer is the Christian’s greatest weapon, and it is the key that will open locked doors for us.
We should start our day with prayer and end with prayer. The Word says that we should always pray. When we pray, have faith and and believe in God for what you ask you will receive.
It is time people of God united, not just in words, but in prayer.
Let us pray for world leaders and ask God for men and women who love Him.

We want to give a shout-out to the fathers for their participation in the Special Fathers Day Service held at Skipper Temple Church on your special day. The Father’s Day message was delivered by Deacon Larry Bell. Thanks to Elder Andrew Morris and all the fathers and everyone in the fellowship. May the Lord bless you real good.

Our prayers and concern goes out to all the sick and shut-in, those in hospitals, nursing homes, prison, the homeless, those who have lost loved ones and family members. Let us pray for one another, and reach out to those in need everywhere. Our prayer can reach places we won’t go.
