Dear Southmoore Church Family,

It is impossible to put into words to let you know how much Judy and I appreciate you for all you have done during Pastor Appreciation month. We so enjoyed last Sunday morning’s video, the many kind and encouraging words, the love offering, cards, gifts, and other expressions of your love for us. Southmoore, you are amazing. We are so blessed to be a part of a loving and caring church.

We love you!

Bro. Danny and Judy.

I want to encourage you to mark your calendar. November 1st is the end of daylight savings time. So be sure and set your clocks and time pieces back one hour Saturday night before you go to bed. That way you will be on time for Sunday morning services. Remember, this is a time to “Fall Back” one hour.

This day will not only be a day to “Fall Back” but also a day to “fall down on your knees”. Let me explain. As you know, November 3, 2020 is election day. I’ve heard other people say that this may very well be the most important election day in our lifetime. The way the election goes could very well affect generations to come. It appears that Christianity will be voted on. I know you have been watching, listening, and praying as election day draws near.

I want to invite you to join us, November 1, 2020, at 6 pm at Southmoore Baptist Church for a prayer meeting. We all agree, prayer changes things. Prayer is not only a privilege, but also, prayer is powerful. Our prayers can and will make a difference in the November 3rd election.

Mark your calendar, save the date, and join us Sunday, 6 pm, November 1, 2020 at Southmoore Baptist Church.

“If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land. Amen and Amen.”

2 Chronicles 7:14

To Live is Christ,

Bro. Danny

Update Letter From Pastor Danny

This was posted on .

Dear Southmoore Church Family and Friends,

I pray this letter finds you doing well and that you are staying safe. You are always in my prayers.

Many people have been asking how I am doing? I am doing fine. Thank you for not only being concerned, but also your continual prayers. My doctor said there is a possibility that more tumors may appear. I will be going in for a scope of my bladder every two months for the next year. It will be part of my medical maintenance as I go forward. And if more tumors appear, there is another procedure that will be considered. Again, I can’t thank you enough for your love and prayers. I am blessed beyond measure.

Brother Doug, Brother Hayden, and I met last week to talk about going forward at Southmoore and the pandemic. We talked about Sunday School and our Sunday and Wednesday night services. As you probably know, there was a spike in the coronavirus cases last week. We were in agreement that we should continue with what we are doing for the time being.

If you have any ideas or thoughts, we would gladly like to hear from you. Brother Doug talked about starting choir rehearsal in preparation for a Christmas program. He is reaching out to choir members and potential choir members for their input.

The East Wing Project continues to go forward. There was a slow-down the last several weeks, but things are picking up. It is exciting to see the progress. God is good!

As you Pastor, I want to commend you for your continual and consistent financial support to your church. Many are still unable to attend at this time, but you are faithful in your tithes and offerings. Some are now giving online. Your love for Jesus and the Church is showing.

Let me close by reminding you to pray for our country and the upcoming election. I have heard people saying that this election may very well be the most important election in our lifetime. PRAY – STAND – VOTE!

To Live Is Christ,

Bro. Danny

Down Through the Roof

This was posted on .

1 After some days Jesus went back to the city of Capernaum. Then news got around that He was home. 2 Soon many people gathered there. There was no more room, not even at the door. He spoke the Word of God to them. 3 Four men came to Jesus carrying a man who could not move his body. 4 These men could not get near Jesus because of so many people. They made a hole in the roof of the house over where Jesus stood. Then they let down the bed with the sick man on it.

5 When Jesus saw their faith, He said to the sick man, “Son, your sins are forgiven.” 6 Some teachers of the Law were sitting there. They thought to themselves, 7 “Why does this Man talk like this? He is speaking as if He is God! Who can forgive sins? Only One can forgive sins and that is God!”

8 At once Jesus knew the teachers of the Law were thinking this. He said to them, “Why do you think this in your hearts? 9 Which is easier to say to the sick man, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Get up, take your bed, and start to walk?’ 10 I am doing this so you may know the Son of Man has power on earth to forgive sins.” He said to the sick man who could not move his body, 11 “I say to you, ‘Get up. Take your bed and go to your home.’” 12 At once the sick man got up and took his bed and went away. Everybody saw him. They were all surprised and wondered about it. They thanked God, saying, “We have never seen anything like this!”

Mark 2:1-12 (NKJV)
