From Open Door Fellowship…“Don’t forget, this Sunday, we welcome Steven McAbee as our guest pastor in the pulpit! Steven, his wife Tammie, and their children (maybe all 7) will be traveling from Arkansas and staying all weekend in the Coushatta area. Steven and his family spent many years in our community ministering to our neighbors at Fairview Baptist Church. Join us at 10:30 am. No perfect people allowed!”

Next week is the book fair at Riverdale Academy. Remember to get your children a book to help establish good reading habits. The book fair lasts all week. Also at Riverdale Wednesday will be Grandparents Day. A schedule of times for grandparents to visit each class is posted on Riverdale’s Facebook page.

“Discerning the Voice of God” is a new women’s Bible study now underway each Sunday night. Ladies meet to study the Word at 6pm. This Bible study is being held at Fairview Baptist Church on US 71 south of Coushatta.
