Here it is, Wednesday again. I am saddened by the passing of Roy Swafford. I know he is rejoicing in heaven, but I am only human. We are in prayer for Lee and each family member and have a sense of grief along with them. However, it is really good grief because the Scripture says, "To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord," and "happy in the sight of the Lord is the home going of the saints." We still experience loss, but we have hope in all our sadness. At the same time there is a note of victory at the promotion of a saint of God to heaven in that we can rejoice with them. The viewing will be Thursday night and the funeral will be Friday morning. Notice the details for the viewing and funeral at the end of this email.
This Saturday is The Wedding at 1:30 p.m. in the Rose Garden at the Fort Worth Botanical Gardens and then back to the church for the Reception. You will enjoy having Dr. LeRoy Bartel ministering to you this Sunday. Anna Pounds thought I should be there to preach. Thank you, Anna, and I am glad to know that we will be missed. I know she was teasing and we had a good laugh in the process.
Tonight we will continue our series, "Too Busy To Pray." We will share how easily you can spend one hour in prayer by breaking it down into 5-minute segments and what to pray during each of those segments. We will also look more in detail at the ACTS Plan of prayer that Dale mentioned recently on a Wednesday night. I know you will find this a productive time of praying from 7-8 p.m. tonight and sharing together about becoming more effective in prayer, and especially praying for Lee and the family in the homegoing of Roy. I look forward to seeing you all tonight.
Blessings,
Pastor Larry
