Future Homecomings and Gospel Meetings will be held each April with guest speakers. We need to preserve the building by replacing the shingles on the roof. Leakage in a small amount has already harmed some wood underneath. It’s estimated about $4,000 dollars will be needed to have this work done. Already, about $1,000 has been donated. Can you help?

November 4, 2007, will bring us to Homecoming 2 at Brazil for the year. Bible School will begin around 10:00 am with Robert Rawson, teaching the class on “How Important Is Doctrine To The Lord?” It’s the next study in the Personal Work Booklet shared last year. With over 25 pages and 15 topics, we are into topic # 5 of the booklet. Bring a covered dish (in ice chest, cooled, if necessary) and come early to the Bible School Class.

Allen Hart of Memphis, TN, (grandson of Ben and Helen Faulkner by marriage) will be the guest speaker for the 11 am sermon; dinner on the grounds will be at Noon with an afternoon service getting underway about 1 p.m. Allen Hart will speak briefly in the afternoon service, too.

The community will be invited to attend, too. J T Parker and Robert Rawson will continue to do followup visits in the community and Bible studies with individuals as permitted. May the Lord bless the continued efforts at the Brazil church where homecomings invite all former members and families of members to attend as well as any newcomers. Since 2003 these meetings have been regular.
