End of June tidbits
RANDAL & VICKI MATHENY | YEAR 41 | SÃO JOSÉ DOS CAMPOS (SP) BRASIL
Mid-year! How time flies! Insert other timely clichés here.
¶ The young couple from Guarulhos I mentioned previously was baptized June 23. The baptisms were ministered by Valdir, who taught them.
¶ I resumed participation in Radio Semear on Wednesday mornings with Valdizan. The topic these days is baptism.
¶ Remember to pray for these people:
- Paulo Cesar is studying with a young single, Gustavo, on Saturdays.
- Elisete told Vicki she wanted to start participating with the church again. Vicki studied with her for a while.
- Thales is a Christian who moved here from another city severals years and has never participated faithfully. He went last Sunday to the Southside congregation.
¶ A congregation upstate began using our online hymnal: “Riquezas de Cristo” (Riches of Christ). We use it at Northside. It’s what we use at the yearly Festival as well. We offer it online for free.
¶ Today’s editorial on Forthright is a translation from one of the simple daily devotionals I’m writing for the Northside saints plus a few others: “I am a friend.”
¶ I’m trying out a new social account where I highlight things I’m thankful for, within the group “3goodthings”.
¶ The monthly list, “Now,” has just been posted. More will get added in the next day or two, but you can see a few things that occupy my time.
¶ Looks like the process will soon get started for a group to consider how to guarantee the future of Projeto Alcance, the label we give to our efforts here. A group of some 20 people met at the Festival in April and showed interest in the project. Pray about this.
