Minister’s Corner

Shalom aleikhem! שָׁלוֹם עֲלֵיכֶם Peace be upon you!

Good morning to you on this Lord’s Day and may God’s grace be evident to you in enough detail to set your heart to dancing and to praise.

This morning we are gathering to worship as many people around the world have woken up to another day of sorrow & pain. Haiti & Afghanistan are experiencing extreme hardship due to natural, and men made disasters. We are most definitely fortunate to not be dealing this day with the misery the people of Haiti and Afghanistan, (as well as many other countries) are dealing with today. However, we should perhaps ponder our good fortune and realize that although we look with pity upon the plight of these people, in their hour of need, their thoughts, their prayers, their desire is after God to a greater degree than it is for those who live in peace and plenty. So, let us pray and praise today as men and women who recognize the grace of our Savior as well as the absolute need for His continuous mercy in our lives.

This Wednesday – August 18th –Family Time & Bible Study

On Wednesday, from 6PM bring your takeout over to the Church Building for our Family Time. Several of our number get together and have dinner together before our 7 o’clock Bible Study.

From 7PM, in person and via Zoom, we will continue our journey through the book Genesis – God, Creation and Destruction by Dennis Prager.

Anniversaries this week: Jeremy & Shana Parent (17th)

Imprisoned for Christ – Virtual Event available On Demand

The Voice of the Martyrs’ Imprisoned for Christ Virtual Event is available on demand, allowing you to watch it whenever it’s convenient for you. You will be inspired by the testimonies of three men who were arrested, interrogated, and imprisoned for their faith in Christ:

• Petr Jasek, imprisoned in Sudan; Andrew Brunson, imprisoned in Turkey; Dan Baumann, imprisoned in Iran. Please email me or text me and I will send you the link.

Offering

This morning you can make your offering online at https://troychurch.net/give

Or, by sending a check to Lisa Jones. Thank you.

Haiti

A massive magnitude 7.2 earthquake hit Haiti early Saturday morning, leaving buildings crumbled, hospitals overcrowded and people rushing in fear from their homes into the streets. The quake left at least 300 people confirmed dead and 1,800 injured so far.

The earthquake came as Tropical Storm Grace raced toward the island, potentially complicating rescue efforts. The storm is expected to arrive late Monday night or early Tuesday morning, according to the National Hurricane Center.

Please pray for the people of Haiti that God in His mercy may grant them grace and many will support them in this time of need. Officially we won’t be taken a collection but if you feel called to give please do so and ear-mark your giving for Haiti disaster relief. I will be reaching out to Church of Christ Disaster Relief ministry to see if they are sending support to Haiti and if they do we will send a donation from Troy Church with all the donated money for this cause.
