Sweet Home 2022:
"It's Time To Work"
|
|
"Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed; not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of His good pleasure. Do all things without murmurings and disputing: That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world;"
Philippians 4:12-15

From the Pastor:
Grace and Peace!
We continue to thank God for His faithfulness unto us. We are crossing into the second half of 2022 and by now I hope you have discovered just how much God desires to bless us exceedingly, abundantly above all we can ask or think! We have had a successful launch of our Digital Campus, and we thank Rev. Reginald Paige and Brto. Joshua Henderson for their leadership in this new ministry. As always, I am thankful for what God has done and excited about what God is doing in us, to us, through us, and for us!
Please know that if you have any ideas or submissions, you can send them to us at info@sweethomembcgary.org.
In Anticipation of Greater,
Marlon C. Mack, Sr., Senior Pastor

Member Spotlight:
Bro. Clayton Ervin
The Member Spotlight for the month of July is Bro. Clayton Ervin!
Bro. Clayton has been a member of the Sweet Home family since 1976! During his time here at The Home, he has sang in the choir, functioned as a Trustee, and travelled to several convention events. Now, he enjoys being a member and getting a solid Word from Pastor Mack.
Even though Bro. Clayton is a long-time resident of Gary, IN, he also resides in Mississippi with his wife, Ella. He travels on the highway between Gary and Mississippi on a regular basis.
Since he began attending Sweet Home, he stated that he could always expect to receive a good word from each pastor that has led this ministry. Bro. Clayton is happy to learn and continue to grow in his faith under the leadership of Pastor Mack.
He also stated that his favorite scripture is Isaiah 41. According to Bro. Clayton, "The Word of God is always on time, and I can testify that when you wait on God, He will come through!"

Christian Education Corner
Hallelujah, Glory to our God! Thank you Jesus for who You are!
To our Pastor Mack for his support and to the church family as well for support in the youth ministry. We are asking for continuous prayers in action for all of the children and their parents. God has allowed us to being doing greater things with our youth. As you saw this past Sunday, we celebrated Youth Day. The youth did a magnificent job in praise and worship. Thank you to the young people, and to Jalynn for a job well done. I believe that God was pleased with their work.
To every member and friend that reads this Digital Newsletter, and allows their children to be a part of the Kingdom of God, we thank you!
"Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for such is the kingdom of Heaven."
"Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth, while the evil days come not, nor the years draw nigh, when thou shall say, I have no pleasure in them; God be the Glory!"
