Winnfield’s Gates joins SBC WMU in missions discipleship for young men

Winnfield’s Gates joins SBC WMU in missions discipleship for young men

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (SBC WMU) – Keith Gates, a judge and member of First Baptist Church, Winnfield, has joined the Southern Baptist Woman’s Missionary Union staff as a ministry for consultant for Royal Ambassadors, Challengers and Youth on Mission.

“RAs changed my life as a camp staffer in the early 2000s,” Gates said. “Developing a better RA program, at least in my circle of influence, has been a passion of mine since then.”

Gates brings ample experience with RA programs in multiple churches and the Louisiana Baptist Convention.

He has served as a leader of RA chapters at First Baptist Church, Lafayette, Goldonna Baptist Church and FBC Winnfield. Gates also is on the state RA Council, where he will continue to help plan RA Congress (a weekend missions conference for first to sixth grade boys) and other activities around the state.

St. Paul’s Episcopal Church

Article Image Alt Text

St. Paul’s Episcopal Church joins many others in remembering the life, ministry, and legacy of Absalom Jones. He is remembered especially on Monday, February 13. Born in 1746 in Delaware, Jones, and his friend Richard Allen, Sunday school teachers in Philadelphia, were both prominent in an integrated church community. They departed when told that African-Americans would be newly-required to sit separately in the balcony.

Jones and Allen, in 1794, established the first Episcopal Church with an African-American congregation. Allen later departed to found the African Methodist Episcopal denomination.

Laural Heights Baptist Church

Sunday morning services at Laurel Heights Baptist Church included Carrie Sandifer singing “Come Morning” and Gary Busby singing “My God is Real”. Our guest preacher was Bro. Daniel Cox who preached from Romans 5. Romans is the story of the gospel through the apostle Paul’s eyes. He was preaching to the Gentiles. This passage of scripture is Faith, Peace, and Joy. Because of our faith we have been made right with God. There is no meaning in life apart from God. We can rely on him as he gives direction to our lives. We are free from the penalty of sin and have the power to overcome. God gives us what we need when we need it. We all have trials but they are for a reason. They bring us closer to God which brings us joy. Trials can cause us to change and leads us to depend on God more. Trials strengthen our character and advance the kingdom of God. We have hope because God loves us. Bro. Cox closed with a passage of scripture from Psalm 32.

January Meeting of Delta Kappa Gamma

The Alpha Beta Chapter of Delta Kappa Gamma held its monthly meeting on Jan 24, at the Louisiana Political Museum. Members bagged treat bags for the Bags of Blessings Project before the meal. President Laure Durr called the meeting to order and blessed the meal. A delicious gumbo prepared by Pat Thurmon was enjoyed by everyone. President Durr led the group in a fun game of “Jeopardy”. Members scored points for their team by answering questions pertaining to the history of Delta Kappa Gamma. We were very saddened to have lost another member of Delta Kappa Gamma, Sharon Brewton. Mrs Derr read a eulogy for Sharon and members of our group shared stories of how she touched the lives of others. Plans are being finalized for the Spring Style Show, April 1, at Winnfield Senior High School.
