JULY 3rd; LORD'S Day (Sunday); 2022.
THIS WEEK'S HYMN. “Rock Of Ages” by Rev. Mr. Augustus Toplady (1740-1778). This Hymn was written in 1776. Rev. Toplady was Vicar at Broad Hembury, England. He later took the charge of a French Calvinist Church (Orange Street Chapel) in London. In his time, he was a notable defender of the Historic Protestant Faith.
THIS WEEK'S THANKSGIVING. I Timothy 2.1 says: “First of all, giving of thanks.” There are answers of Prayer to report this week. 1. A Family donated more clothes for the Residents in the Care Facilities. These clothes have since been distributed. Several have spoken of their gratitude. 2. Last week's Church Services among the Care Facilities went well. Many heard the Preaching of the Scripture. Many spoke of their personal appreciation. Proverbs 4.4 says: “Keep My Commandments.”
THIS WEEK'S PRAYERLIST. These Prayer Requests have been made in part by different Residents and Staff in the Care Facilities. 1. Many have unspoken Requests. 2. A Lady was not able to attend the Church Service last week because of pain. 3. Many more who live in pain. 4. Several Residents ask Prayer for their Friends and Families. 5. A Lady lost her Brother last week. Please pray for this Lady and the Family who remain. Proverbs 4.14,15,18 says: “Enter not into the path of the wicked, and go not in the way of evil men. Avoid it, pass not by it, turn from it, and pass away. But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day.” *In the Thanksgiving and Prayerlist sections, the names of the people have been withheld to protect their privacy. Nevertheless, the Thanksgivings and Prayer Requests are real and actual.
THIS WEEK'S COLPORTAGE REPORT. (1) Last week, besides Dr. Spence's visits in his weekly Care Facilities, on one of his days off, he conducted a Colportage Day among Care Facilities he does not visit. For about 6 hours and 106 miles, 6 Letters and 37 Printed Sermons were distributed in 11 Care Facilities located in Pittsburgh, Whitehall, and Homestead. Please pray that THE LORD will bless these Printed Sermons to the good of the Residents who live in these places. (2) The new Printed Sermons (Summer Issue) have arrived from the Press and will begin to be distributed on Sunday in various Care Facilities in Pittsburgh. O that the Sermons will be a deep and spiritual Blessing during the next quarter! (3) Would you read a King James Version Bible or New Testament? We also have the Book of Psalms in Braille. These dear Books are gently used. They come in different sizes. Many Residents have left these Books for Dr. Spence during the past years. If you or someone you know would use one or two of these Books, please contact us. The Books and postage are free.
