I am very grateful for all who serve the Lord Jesus this new church year. Thank you each for your precious time. Please encourage the people you know to come to Sonday morning Bible study. The teachers have given their time studying and preparing the lesson thru the week to share with you each Sonday, so come on out and enjoy the fellowship and the studying of God s Word. September is our revival month here at Cooper. Please pray for our revival meetings and for the revival team. Please plan your schedules to attend and be renewed in your spirit and soul as we seek the Lord Jesus in a humble and sincere attitude of heart and mind. We are not home yet, so a refreshing of God s Spirit and His Word are continual needs we all need to strive for in our walk of faith. As we draw close to the LORD in revival meditate upon this Scripture: Psalm 24:3-5 (New King James Version) 3 Who may ascend into the hill of the LORD? Or who may stand in His holy place? 4 He who has clean hands and a pure heart, Who has not lifted up his soul to an idol, Nor sworn deceitfully. 5 He shall receive blessing from the LORD, And righteousness from the God of his salvation. Love in Christ, Bro. Evans
