NOVEMBER 27th; LORD'S Day (Sunday); 2022.
THIS WEEK'S HYMN. “Anywhere With Jesus” by Mrs. Jessie Pounds (1861-1921). Mrs. Pounds was a Pastor's Wife. This Hymn was written in 1887. This a favorite Hymn in the Care Facilities.
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. The Family of a former Care Facility Resident sent a thoughtful Card and Gift. We are thankful for those who think about the important work in the Care Facilities and who financially help out in its outreach. 2. The Care Facility Church Services went particularly well last week. Several specially spoke of the Sermons. O that THE LORD will greatly bless the Preaching of the Scripture to the souls of the Residents! Jeremiah 33.1 says: “The Word of the Lord came unto Jeremiah the second time while he was yet shut up in the court.”
THIS WEEK'S PRAYERLIST. These Prayer Requests have been made in part by different Residents and Staff in the Care Facilities. 1. Those who are still struggling with serious chest-colds, chills, fevers, and stomach-bugs. This includes Staff and Residents. Sometimes, such sicknesses can be extremely serious for the Elderly. 2. Those in the Hospital. 3. Care Facilities that are on lockdown again. This is usually a hard time for the Residents. Dr. Spence spoke with many of them last week. 4. Those who have private, unspoken requests. Jeremiah 33.3 says: “Call unto Me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not.” *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.
SPECIAL PRAYER REQUEST. Pray for the United States of America during these days.
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 more than 6 hours and 225 miles, 9 Letters and 99 Printed Sermons were distributed in 2 Gas Stations and 9 Care Facilities located in Slippery Rock, Harrisville, Grove City, and Mercer. Some Notes on the day— First: Although the day was in the low teens, it was a beautiful, sunny day. It was a good day to be out in THE LORD'S Work. Second: All these Care Facilities were spread out in the Country. This required more driving than commonly. Third: Of all these Towns and Cities, this was the first time the Printed Sermons were ever distributed in Mercer. Fourth: The Receptionists and Aides were hospitable. Fifth: One Activity Director said she's been trying to find someone to conduct Church Services among the Residents. Pray that a door will open. THE LORD bless this distribution of the printed Preaching of His Word! (2) 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.
