August 2003 On May 11, 2003, the Lettsworth Methodist Protestant church held a Founder’s Day/Homecoming Day event. Founder’s day stood for all the people involved in starting our church in 1967. Homecoming was for getting all these people and their families back in Lettsworth for a celebration of honoring the founder’s of the church or charter members as they are called. At least 140 people made it to this event. Brother Harold and his lovely wife made it to the celebration. He and his wife spoke highly of the work Bro. Lloyd and Mrs. Ruby have done over the past 36 years. Mrs. Ruby Mayeux was honored with a day of her own. May 18, 2003 will be recognized by the conference as Sister Ruby Mayeux day. Awards were also given out. Our oldest charter member which is Bro. Bill Kimble is in his 80’s. He was honored with a plaque from the church for his support of God and his country. We also gave a plaque to a deceased member’s family in his honor for all the work Bro. J.B. Leger did around our church. Sister Ruby was honored with a plaque for her dedicated service to the church and all of its members. Bro. Glen Mayeux and Sis. Carrie Sue Mayeux were awarded a plaque for the dedicated work of filling the shoes of Bro. Lloyd and helping Mrs. Ruby . No one can even come close to imagining what Glen had to go through to get to where he is today. A confident young preacher who only gets better with time. The church had a large plaque made with all the names of the charter members put on it. We will hang this in the church for all to see. Our church plans to have a large picture of Bro. Lloyd made and hung in the church. This will be for all his years of service to the church and its members. And last but certainly not least our music people were given an award for all the work they do in the church. These beloved people are hardly ever thanked and almost always forgotten. If it weren’t for them and the music they play I dare to say some souls may not have been saved and brought to Christ Jesus. Music awakens the heart and lets the Holy Spirit enter. This way God can get in and get people where they should be in HIS eyes. The church and its members wish to thank all those involved in the cooking (Marvin Cazelot, Alan Dauzat, Faye Cazelot) and cleaning (Shauna, her mom Mary and Shauna’s sisters). Thank you all for everything that you have done to help us out. And last but not least the church and its members wish to thank our grounds keepers. These two people are a young married couple that we appreciate very much. They are Randy Mayeux and Christi Mayeux. Randy cuts and weed eats all the grass while Christi keeps up our flower bed. These young people also donated most of the flowers that adorn our church grounds. God
Bless all Cedar
Grove Pastor Jeff Carroll The Lord blessed us all with beautiful weather for our morning services. The church bell rang (with the help of Brother Alton Russell) for Sunday services to begin. These wonderful old songs “Jesus Saves”, “Heavens Jubilee” and “Everybody Will Be Happy Over There” got our day off to a good beginning. They were led by Bro. Steve Price. The Sunday School lesson “The Transfiguration” was taught from Matthew 17:1-13. Golden text; “This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him.” Our heartfelt sympathy goes to the family and friends of Lawerence Mims. Please remember to pray for our sick and shut-ins, our country, military and leaders. We welcomed all our visitors and were very glad to see Peggy Pearson with us again. Happy Anniversary to Betty and Earl Caton on the 28th of this month. The worship service began by congregational singing and for our special song, Brother Dennis Smith and Brother Alton Russell sang “After All”. A blessing was received by all. Brother Jeff Carroll brought a powerful message titled “Desperation” taken from 2nd Timothy and Mark ch.3. As always Bro. Jeff preached a very good sermon. Things have really been happening at Cedar Grove,.We had a wonderful crowd for our cook-out Saturday evening; home made ice cream, hot dogs, hamburgers & all the things that go with it. One member was thought to eat the Red Hots as fast as they could be cooked, wonder who that was? A good time was had by all. Our Sunday night service keeps getting better and better each week if that is possible, larger crowds, wonderful singing, great messages. The specials were sung by: Sam Price, Sandra Carroll, Amelia Hubbard and Alton Russell. Bro. Jeff’s message was taken from Romans ch 6;1-5 "Life’s Greatest Offer." What a great time to praise the Lord for His goodness to us all this week. Next Sunday night, July 6th our associate pastor, Brother Heath Vines will be bringing the message. We think he is one of the best young pastors we have ever known. You will be blessed to come hear him preach. He is also beginning a Bible study beginning this Wed. night, 7 P.M. July 2nd for the teenagers and young adults in the fellowship. Come and join Brother Heath in this study every Wed. Night at 7 P.M. Remember the singing at Cedar Grove, Sunday July 13th at 5:30 P.M. Guest singers will be “The Kelly’s” from Lawerenceburg Tenn. Cedar Grove is located 3 miles south of Thorsby just off Co road 37. Everyone welcome. For more information call 646 2390. Greetings from Alaska I am so proud to see a Methodist Protestant Church website!!! It looks great! Very professional and user friendly. It’s really a nice touch to include pictures of various things, too, because it makes everyone seem a lot closer. There are currently no MP churches in Alaska, but being able to check out the website sure does make the miles shrink. How is everyone doing? We are expecting our first child in August. She is a girl and her name will be Tia. Has there been any more work done at the General Conference Headquarters? I would love to see pictures if you have any. Please tell everyone hello for me and I miss them. God Bless you all. Hope to hear from you sometime. Jennifer
