Urgent Prayer Request

A good friend of mine asked our church to remember Charlie Huggins of Haleyville who fell on the snow Monday and now is paralyzed from the neck down. He lay on the side of the road a good while waiting for help to arrive before he was taken to the hospital. He is in critical condition and the surgery which was thought might be helpful to him was sadly, not to be. They say that unless God intervenes, nothing short of a miracle can help him.

He worked for the Alabama Highway Department. His wife, Joan works at the law offices of Jackson, Mays, McNutt, Cook and Slatton in Haleyville. Please pray for this man and his family-it is urgently needed. We know God is the Great Physician and He is able. This is a senseless and unbelievable accident and they need all the prayer they can get.

Praise Report!

Margi Edge just found out from her cousin that the baby with the stage 3 brain tumor turned out to be just stage 1. They are thanking the Lord and all of you who have prayed for baby Jersie and her family. Praise the Lord! Thank Him for answering prayer and pass on the good news.

It's a New Attitude!

With the start of a new year, we tend to look back over the last one and recall the good as well as the negative things we've all had to deal with, and one thing we need to keep in mind is to recognize that God is for us. He is for us, He wants to see His children prosper and grow in His Word.



Bro Smith gave us a list of 8 things we need to learn and say OUT LOUD this new year. Learn to recognize these things as coming from the Lord, and be aware of the tactics of the enemy. Satan is already defeated, but we must be winners by using the strength of God.



1)Proverbs 6:2 We can be snared by the words of our own mouth, and its not always outside influences, according to the Bible. Our words carry the power to free or ensnare us.



2) Ps 119:89 God's Word is settled in Heaven and on Earth, and it's settled forever. No debate on that. Say to yourself, "I am somebody in God, blood-bought, saved and worth something valuable in God's eyes. That won't change--ever.



3) Psalms 89:34 When the Lord goes into covenant, He will not break His own Word. Remember that even your best friend will break their word to you--when trouble comes, they will turn on you and save themselves. Jesus is a friend who sticks closer than a brother. When the trials come, say "I am in covenant with God".



4) Proverbs 4: 20-22 His words are life and health to those who find them. We need healing for more than just physical needs, we need help for old wounds, mental problems, soul ties, generational curses. We can say to the enemy "It stops with ME!" This nation needs families who have the Bible alive in them every day. We need to be fanatical about that Word! Saturate your life and world with it-read and consume it. You can have favor if you rebuke Satan, so the Lord can be your partner and promote you and the way you live your life to honor Christ.



5) Ps 119:25 The Word of God quickens, meaning 'makes alive'. We as humans are so close to death, but Satan cannot win against the Word of the Lord.



6) Luke 1:38 Mary said let it be unto me according to Thy Word. It is always easy for us to judge others but not so easy to see our own sins and shortcomings. We need to come to the foot of the Cross and have the Lord cleanse our own hearts and minds. He is the searcher of the heart.



7) Psalms 35:27 &38 Let the Lord be magnified. God wants us to be

New Prayer Request

I just got a call from Margi Edge about her cousin. The baby is named Jersie and is only 7 months old and has inoperable brain tumor. They have taken her to St Judes' Hospital. They can't do anything for the baby, but Margi asked us all to pray for this little one. God is able to do abundantly above all we ask or think. We just lift up this child to the Father.

Worship with the Firstfruits

When we take Tithes and Offerings each Sunday morning, we have a little routine that we use to honor the Lord with our offerings. Each person holds up their check, money or tithe envelope and repeats this short saying:

"Jesus, as my Lord and High Priest, I bring the firstfruits of my income to You and worship the Lord my God with it. I rejoice in all the good which You have given to me and my household.
I have hearkened to the voice of the Lord my God and have done according to all that He has commanded me. Now look down from Your Holy habitation from Heaven and bless me as you said in Your Word. I thank Father, in Jesus' name."

This is just a bit different than many churches' form of worship with offerings, but we know God's Word is true and we strive to hear and obey His leadership. The scripture most Christians refer to when they speak of tithing is Malachi 3:10. "Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the Lord of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven,and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it." He goes on to say in verse 11 that the Lord will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, and not destroy the fruits of your ground.

Personally, my husband and I take the Lord at His Word and we prove Him~over and over again. So many people will testify to the same thing. God is faithful and is our deliverer and our source!! Praise the Lord, and again, Praise the Lord!

Pictures

Bro. Chris was the instigator of this little game. The team leader had to bid on how many marshmallows they could stuff in their mouth and still sing a Praise/Worship song--and still their team members could guess the name of the song. Here is our sweet Sarah, looking her best, along with Austin Scott.

Dakota Smith couldn't fit too many--wait, did he say 13???

Here is Emily and Zoe performing a drama, "You are Mighty, You are Holy". Great job, girls!!!

Some of the latest happenings here at WCFC

We have the BEST church members ever!

Here at Winfield City Family Church, we are blessed to have some of the most able people who do not hesitate to step up where there is a need. For instance, if you notice how clean the church is every week, please thank Margi and Allen Edge. They go each and every Tuesday and clean the building top to bottom. Many times, we have had to organize a "clean-up" day and get everyone to work together to scrub and sweep and vacuum and dust cobwebs, and what a major job that is! Thank you Allen and Margi for all you do and all you mean to the church family. We love you guys!

Debra Banta has stepped up to teach Adult Sunday School class while Todd Scott takes a little break. Both of them are great teachers of the Gospel.

Danny Joe Seals has been playing bass on the Praise and Worship Team and we are so blessed to have him and his family at WCFC. In fact, there are quite a few talented musicians that are to be recognized: Randy Smith, Danny Joe Seals, Joan Smith, Mike Knight, Dewayne Smith, Josh Smith, Todd Scott, Austin Scott, Chris Bell, Debra Banta, and Ronnie Beasley. Emily and Zoe Smith performed a drama to "You are Mighty, You are Holy" last week, and it was a great job, girls! God be praised for the talent He has directed to this church.

Chris and Sarah Bell have joined in working as the Youth Pastors. The boys' class has been taught well by Mike Knight and Neal Sandlin, but it really frees up some extra time for them to serve in other ways, since Chris began the Youth Ministry. Last Sunday night while Bro. Smith was away for a funeral, Bro. Chris took over the service. It was unforgettable, to say the least. Fun for all who took part. The game was to see which team leader could hold the most marshmallows in their mouth and sing a praise/worship song. Their team members had to guess what song they were singing. The pictures are unbelievable!
