SEPTEMBER 25th; LORD'S Day (Sunday); 2022.
THIS WEEK'S HYMN. “Our Great High Priest Is Sitting” by Lord Adelbert P. Cecil (1841-1889). This dear Hymn presents the Truth about JESUS, Godly Christians, JESUS' Relationship with Godly Christians, and the sorrows that Godly Christians may expect to experience in this life.
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 Gentleman has stopped smoking. 2. The Church Services in the Care Facilities last week were well attended. 3. THE LORD was near the Church Services last week blessing the Preaching of the Scripture. Some specially spoke of the Sermons. Isaiah 35.1 says: “The wilderness and the solitary place shall be glad for them; and the desert shall rejoice, and blossom as the rose.”
THIS WEEK'S PRAYERLIST. These Prayer Requests have been made in part by different Residents and Staff in the Care Facilities. 1. A Lady with whom Dr. Spence spoke in her room. 2. The Fall sicknesses have already started. Please pray for the sick these days. 3. Those Care Facilities that have returned to lockdown. Will this practice never end? When will another milder method be used for the dear Elderly? Surely, this generation has not been the only people who have been obliged to deal with serious sicknesses. Isaiah 35.8 says: “And an highway shall be there, and a way, and it shall be called The way of holiness; the unclean shall not pass over it; but it shall be for those: the wayfaring men, though fools, shall not err therein.” Verse 9 says: “The redeemed shall walk there.” *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. Please pray for our Country during this critical time. We are in hard days. It seems we are directly headed to harder 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 almost 7 hours and 205 miles, 7 Letters and 61 Printed Sermons were distributed in 8 Care Facilities located in Butler, Fenelton, Chicora, and Vandergrift. Some Notes on the day— First: During this Colportage Day, most of the Care Facilities visited were in the country. The distance between the Care Facilities was considerable. This resulted in, comparatively, that fewer Homes were visited. Second: Mostly Aides, but even some Owners, were spoken with. The Aides were pleasant. The Owners were nice. THE LORD bless and use greatly this distribution of the Preaching of His Word on paper! (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.
