On Tuesday, the Pine Grove Missionary Baptist Church was immersed in a sea of white apparel during Women’s Night of their Mending Hearts Ministries’ Pulling Down Strongholds 2010 Conference. The guest speaker was Stellar and Grammy Award winning recording artist, Dr. Dorinda Clark Cole of the legendary gospel group, The Clark Sisters.

When speaking about Tuesday night’s service, Vonita Womack of Chicago, IL stated, “[The service] was very dynamic, very intense. I grew spiritually as a result of the Dr. Dorinda’s message.”

Overseer Oliver Smith, pastor of Pine Grove M.B. Church emphasized that the conference was designed to be “not just a concert but much more.” By Tuesday, he was confident that the conference had achieved its goal for the nights that had past and looked forward to the remaining nights.

“The recipe for perpetual ignorance  is to be satisfied with your own opinion.” A wise man will hear, and will increase in learning, and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsel. Proverbs 1:5  

There is a certain little high we get when we’re right about something.  Being the one with the right answer gives us a feeling of pride, worth and value.  We get a charge from being the one people come to for guidance.  That’s human nature.  We all need to feel necessary.  

The Senior Mission and the Gospel Chorus Ministries of Walker’s Chapel Free Will Baptist Church held outreach activities at McComb Extended Care and McComb Nursing and Rehabilitation Center for Mother’s Day on May 9th.

“Helping Those in Need” is the lesson this week and it is the practice that all Christians should be addicted to on an ongoing basis. This study is found in the book of Acts chapter 9 which is a transitional chapter in the book in which God is attempting to get his people out of Jerusalem and into the uttermost parts of the World as what he originally stated in Acts 1:8. Peter finally responds to the call and heads down to Lydda, located about 30 miles northwest of Jerusalem. When he arrives, God in his sovereignty arranges for him to meet Aeneas, who had been paralyzed for 8 years.

There was a lot of celebrating going on in the White Acres community this past Sunday. Area residents could hear the music and the singing from the church building that had been empty and quiet for nearly 3 years. A new church, a new location and a new beginning is how Pastor Alexander White and the members of Rising Star Missionary Baptist Church see the old St. Andrew Church now. White and his fellow church members officially moved their startup church from a Magnolia location to the once vacant St. Andrews facility at 821 LaBranch Street in McComb over the past week, culminating the transfer with a joint afternoon worship service with the United Methodist Convention of Mississippi(UMC).
