God’s house was full as we gathered to worship at Mill Creek Baptist Church Sunday and celebrate 113 years of our church with our annual Homecoming. Susan Cory and Levi Hamilton were celebrating birthdays and special prayers were requested for Mildred Cook, the Bob Parish family and Debbie Taylor.
“Trigger” was the devotional given by Linda Abercrombie as she read Psalm 29:10-11. Our response to watching the news we hear each day can trigger our anxiety. Packing too much into our day can trigger our anxiety. We need to limit that anxiety because the “what if ” can drain our energy. Ask God for wisdom to help us handle what triggers us and threatens our peace.
Rick Lett asked God’s blessing upon the offertory and he and Wayne Johnson served as ushers followed by the congregational hymn “The Gloryland Way” lead by Becky Johnson and Karen Gardner. We were blessed with special music and songs of praise during our song service and after lunch by Spring Street, a gospel bluegrass group from northeastern Oklahoma. We enjoyed listening to their music and
