Communion Tonight 7.2.2017
The Lord’s Supper:
The Lord’s Supper is an ordinance of Jesus Christ, to be administered with the elements of bread and wine and to be observed by His Church until He returns. It is in no sense a sacrifice or a means of having one’s sins cleansed, but it was designed to commemorate His death, to confirm the faith and other Christian graces, and is to be a bond, pledge, and renewal of their communion with Him and their church fellowship.

Obituary
Helen Marie Lovett McKinney
Helen Marie Lovett McKinney, a humble servant of Jesus Christ, passed through the threshold of death and made her entrance into the regal presence of her glorious King Jesus Christ, robed in His perfect righteousness and arrayed in majestic splendor.
She was born May 12, 1925 to Allie Washington Lovett and Lela Jane Hankins Lovett of Morehead, MS. While a senior at Central High School, Jackson, Ms, she was invited to attend a Revival service where a young preacher, Don McKinney was speaking. During that 1942 service God called her to Himself and she was changed by the power of Gospel. Some months later, Don came back to Jackson and started courting her and they later married. Marie was a devoted wife and wanted to help her husband in the ministry. At the age of 26, she taught herself to play the piano. For 60 years she played the piano and organ. She played in her home church, Heritage Baptist, in Lake Charles, LA until her husband of 66 years died in 2009. For the past 7 years she has been a resident of Morningside of Dalton Assisted Living. Often she would play hymns for the residents to their delight. She couldn’t remember what she had for breakfast but she could play for 30 minutes one hymn after another from memory. She was God’s gift to Barry, Jennifer and Ron.
A memorial service will be held on Saturday, May 13, 2017 at 1:00 PM at Grace Chapel, Reformed Theological Seminary, 5422 Clinton Blvd., Jackson, MS. Visitation will be 11:30 AM till 12:45 PM at RTS prior to the funeral. Pastor Shane Kastler, Dr. Charley Chase, Dr. William Sasser and Pastor John Hunter will be officiating.

COLLINGWOOD PRAYER LETTER January-March 2017
Church Planting ** Bible College ** Christian School ** Discipleship
Dear Pastors and Praying Friends,
Greetings in the wonderful name of our Lord Jesus Christ whom we love and serve. The first few months of the new year bring preparation and planning for the end of the Christian School year which began in June of 2016 and will end in March 2017.
The first event in a count down to the graduations and special recognition of achievers, etc. is our Annual Field Trip. It was a cloudy and gloomy looking day in January on the scheduled day of the trip. A low pressure area was centered in the Visayan Islands area bringing much of the weather and not the usual hot weather experienced at this time of the year. The venue was Mt. Samat in Bataan and Ocean Adventure, Subic in Zambales. The travel and visits to these places is basically an all day adventure. Some of the parents come with us to be with their children and are surely welcome with a rather large attendance which we divide into groups for the venues and site seeing.
Later in the month of January, our principal, Bernie Hernandez directed some of our students to the School of Tomorrow Headquarters in Bicutan for the competition in the Junior Student Convention. The travel will take them through Bulacan and Manila to reach this event. Early departure and some 11 hours of travel through unbelievable traffic is necessary to attend this annual event. Our students scored well in the competition and brought home their trophies and a sense of accomplishment.
On March 18th in the morning, our Preschool children held their graduation into the elementary ranks. 15 of these young ones moved forward as proud parents watched them also recite long passages of scripture.
On March 18th in the afternoon, 21 6th graders moved up into the junior high school curriculum.
On March 22nd in the morning 7 Junior High School students graduated into high school.
On March 24th Grace Christian Academy celebrated our Annual Awards Banquet at Casa Buena de Pulilan, Bulacan. Our banquet speaker this year was Rev. Erich Bernard Santos, Interim Director of School of Tomorrow Philippines. Our brother is also an associate Pastor of Jesus Flock Gateway Church in Quezon City, Metro Manila. We were blessed with his message as our great God attended his word with power and conviction. This event culminates the events for school year 2016/2017.
Now summer preparations are underway for cleanup, painting and maintenance for the coming school year which will commence in June 2017.
A much needed prayer request is for RECOGNITION STATUS for our high school from the Philippine Department of Education. The secular education people do not really understand the School of Tomorrow program no matter how many times they observe the students taking responsibility for their learning through working their PACES and then grading them at the scoring table. But God can move upon them to grant to us this status and put back into our program classes through grade 11 and 12 and graduate our own. They now have to enroll in a Recognized school for these last 2 grades. Many of you know the battle of Christian education vs. secular education.
ADDITIONAL PRAYER REQUESTS FOR UPCOMING EVENTS
April 23, God’s Grace Baptist Church, Pandi, Bulacan Missions Conference. They have 2 missionary candidates for support coming to the meeting.
May 8, Grace Baptist Church, Baliwag Bulacan Pastors/Workers Conference.
May 21, GBC, Baliwag 32nd Anniversary followed by a week of Bible Conference.
Special needs for the family of Rebecca dela Cruz, wife of Pastor Edgar. Her family’s crops and houses were totally destroyed in Quezon Province by a strong typhoon and it may take 5 years for that area to recover from this devastating storm.
Brethren, thank you for your prayers and financial support for this ministry.
By His Grace and for His Glory,
Brad and Bonni Collingwood
