Praise the Psalmist who said it best when he wrote these words “Praise the Lord, for the Lord is good; sing praise to his name, for that is pleasant” (Psalm 135:3). The Lord is good and His goodness has been evident in our church. I want to share with you some of the blessings He continues to pour out on Maize Road Baptist Church. We continue to see new visitors at our services most every week. This is because we have caught a fresh vision for evangelism. Each week, I hear from people who make it a point to share with me that they have invited someone to church. I know that the Lord places people in our paths every day. I believe He provides “divine appointments” for each of us, and we only need to be more aware of these opportunities for inviting others to hear the good news of Jesus Christ. The Lord will bring people into your lives that He will never bring into mine. That is why we must continue to work together so that our world can be changed. Matthew 5:14-16 says we are “the light of the world. A city on a hill that cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it in its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven.” Who’s light will you be today?

       I want to encourage all to be involved in our Vacation Bible School, which will be held from Sunday night, July 20th thru Thursday night, July 24th. The times will be; Sunday 6:00-8:00 p.m., Monday-Thursday 6:30-8:00 p.m. There are many ways you can be involved. First, you can plan on being here. There are classes for all ages including adults. Second, you can invite your family, friends, and neighbors to join you. Finally, you can pray for those who will be working with all of our classes. We look forward to seeing you there.  God Bless You,   Bro. Brett
