HEARTBEAT
July 15 - 31, 2012
A Note from the Pastor I owe so many people a huge debt of gratitude. Your prayers and cards have been very encouraging during what has been one of the darkest and deepest valleys in my life health wise. Like others in our church who have had times of sickness or injury, I have found our television broadcast to be a way to experience a touch of the Whitesburg spirit. I miss the heartwarming fellowship that we often take so much for granted. As my doctors work to get my heart to function more effectively they are all optimistic that I will return to an excellent state of health. The love of Jesus in our church brings strong support in our times of need. As you pray for me, I continue to pray for each of you. Thank you to Brother Terry, Brother Greg, Brother Steven and any others who are doing the preaching. I have invited Evangelist Junior Hill to preach Sunday, July 22 and Evangelist Bill Stafford on Sunday, Aug 5. This will give our staff a little relief and give you an opportunity to hear two of God’s choicest servants.

Love in Jesus, Bro. Jimmy
I have learned
to be content
in whatever circumstances I am. I know both how to have a little, and I know how to have a lot. In any and all circumstances I have learned the secret of being content - whether well fed or hungry, whether in abundance or in need.
I am able to do all things through Him who strengthens me.
Sign up today! Information on the back.
