Youth Meeting and Sunday Services

The out reach of the Lakes Pond Baptist Church is never at a standstill.  All summer the youth activities have reached out to the unsaved as well as to the believing young person.  This was the last of the summer activates and a good number were there for a time of games and preaching of the Word of God.

This was a special time for me also.  This was the One Hundredth sermon I preached at this great church.  I was a bit taken back that they knew this and had prepared a wonderful surprise for me and Mrs. Souza.  After the games and as part of the refreshments, a decorated and delicious cake was brought out and the announcement was made of the One Hundredth sermon I was to preach that night.  The Lord spoke to tender hearts as many stood with the preacher to accept God's way for their lives.

During the service another surprise awaited me as the church and young people presented  a plaque in my honor.  The real joy was knowing the love this church has for those who minister to them.  Their love for each other overflows to others.   This is a sweet fellowship of believers who stand true and firm on the Word of God (KJV).  It is an example of having strong convictions and the love of God for souls and each other.

Sunday Services

On Sunday morning I taught a combined class of the young people and adults in the Sunday School hour.  I am always amazed how eager these folks are to hear and heed the teachings of the Bible.  Many many responded to the invitation at both services and lingered at the altar as they did business with the Lord.   After a blessed time in the evening service Pastor Meader baptized a new convert into the membership of the church.
