I am at the mission in Sheridan, celebrating the work there with a dedication service for the building God has provided.  We can count our blessings for the material things we enjoy, but they mean nothing if not coupled with sincere devotion and dedication to the work.  I want to again encourage our church to not only focus on our ministries here locally as a church, but to write, call and visit our mission points as you can; read their newsletters and blogs; keep the lines of communication open.  I think we can all work to improve in this area.  I am encouraged by what God is doing in LBC and through us.  I am thankful for the new friends we have coming each week and for the friendly welcome they receive.  I pray that we see more professions of faith, life dedications, and commitment to memberships from all of it.  Let’s begin also to pray for the upcoming revival in March and our speaker, Brother Jeff Luellen.
