Sunday Blessings
Last Sunday brought to mind this picture I had once taken. You'll see why further down the post.Tidying up. Just as we clean our homes and the spaces around us, we need to remember to also declutter and tidy up our mind, body and soul. Visually sweeping away all the everyday distractions that tend to wear us down, clearing and focusing our minds on what is really important in our lives. Growing up, when it came to my worries, grandma and mama use to say, "sweep them off the porch!" ~ Mindy
Create in me a clean heart, O God, And renew a right spirit within me. Psalm 51:10

A Couple of Shares this morning....
Had to share a little
about last Sunday. It all started when I first pulled in to church.
A big smile immediately appeared on my face. Jerry and Nancy were
out front doing a little hoeing and weed treating. I'm fondly
referring to it as....Workin' before Churchin'. Tidying up and
addressing those weeds before heading on in to worship.Gotta love it! As I mentioned earlier, Pastor Donna was under the weather and unable to attend so we
lifted her up in prayer and proceeded with the service as best we
knew how. Sang our Hymns and praised the Lord. Sharing our
thoughts, joys, prayers and concerns. In numbers we are few but the
fellowship and support is plentiful.

Also wanted to share this news clip from KMTV 3 about Mulholland Grocery in Malvern, that was lost in a fire last December. Click HERE to watch.
We can only imagine what a emotional and trying time it as been for owner Tom Mulholland since the loss of his family business. Let us remember in prayer Tom and the town of Malvern as they seek to rebuild this special piece of history within their town.

LOOKING AHEAD
Next Sunday, June 19th, Father's Day Brunch and "Church Around the Tables."
Please come and join us!

Old churches must not simply stand
as monuments to the past but as spiritual grandparents that have
invested in the future by passing on their life to others and releasing
their offspring to form new congregations. ~ unknown

One more thing.....
I would like to take a moment today to say thank you to my friends at Percival Community Church for allowing me to share little pieces of our church and its people and the occasional news or events happening in and around our community. I really do feel blessed to be a part of it all. I also want to say thank you for the kind words spoken last week. Truly heartwarming and sincerely felt. <3

Have a good week. Now grab that broom, sweep those worries off the porch and give them to the Lord! :)
