Today we welcome our special guests.  

COURAGEOUS movie actor, ROBERT AMAYA will be our guest speaker today during our combined worship service at 10:30am. Robert Amaya is most recently known for his role as "Javier" in the film Courageous.  He felt humbled and honored playing this character because it reminded him of his own father's struggles to survive in a new country with a family.  Robert is a bilingual professional actor/singer from Miami, Florida.  He volunteers as a worship leader and children's ministry actor at his church. 

 

Music Evangelists, LESTER & HOLLY RECTOR are back with us again.  They were here at MGBC last year and presented special music.  They will sing today during our combined worship service at 10:30am and will present an entire concert tonight during our 6pm worship service.

    

 

 

 

 

Today @ 4:30pm . . .

Pastor' Class will meet in the Fellowship Hall.  New members and those interested in membership are encouraged to attend this class led by Pastor Ron.  A light supper and childcare are provided.  To sign up, write "Pastor's Class" and your name and telephone number on the Welcome Tab attached to this bulletin.

Old Veterans: Another display board, this time for past veterans will be hung in the church Sanctuary next to the existing veterans display board. If you served in WWII, Korean Conflict, Vietnam, Vietnam era, or Desert Storm and would like your picture on the board, please submit a 3"x 5" photo (uniformity) of yourself, whether in uniform or civilian attire (in uniform is best)  bring it to the church office and leave it with Betty, I will collect and post them on display in your honor. Be sure to write your name, branch of service and time era you served on back of photo. November 11, 2013 is Veterans Day and would like the board completed a month prior to. Copy of a photo will work too! Thank you! Roland Koomen

Food 4 Kids:  Last school year (2012/2013) Myrtle Grove Baptist Church showed an awesome display of Christian compassion for our "backdoor elementary" schools, Sherwood and Myrtle Grove elementary. The testimonial letters we received from the schools bore witness to that display of kindness. The 19th of August started a new school year (2013/2014) for our kids however, and we as the Body of Christ again are up to bat, so to speak. I will have a child- friendly food list available in the Lobby to take with you. I'm still waiting on a firm date from Walmart Mobile Hwy for Afood drive in September. Thank you! Roland Koomen
