Men’s Day Pictorial Highlights
Faith celebrated a spirit-filled Men’s Day (July 11) with great singing, powerful preaching, and a delicious Fellowship Meal following the morning worship service. Bro. John Richardson, local preacher at Faith, was the guest speaker for the worship service. Coming from the text, Genesis 4:1-15, Bro. Richardson cautioned his listeners to 1) Watch what we think 2) Watch what we do and 3) Watch what we say. Twelve persons came forward after the sermon to unite with the Faith family! The worship service also included a video presentation of the men’s community service during the previous weeks. The men cut lawns in the community and painted the graffiti-covered wall in front of the church. During service the men sang beautifully with the congregation on their feet and the Fellowship Meal following service was complete with many soul food favorites. What a marvelous day we had in the Lord!
