Tyler Primitive Baptist Church 6502 Old Jacksonville Hwy Tyler, Texas 75703 www.tylerpb.com 903-561-1152 May 9, 2010 Pastor: Elder Vernis J Stanaland Associate Pastor: Elder David Machiavello Deacons: Brethren Steve Cooper, Alvin Holley, Ed McGee, Keith Pridgen, Ned Sibley, Jason Stewart. Welcome to Tyler Primitive Baptist Church. We trust you will find a group of God’s children here endeavoring to worship Him in Spirit and in Truth. We hope that we may all learn more about Him from His word..105 Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path. Psalms 119:105 (KJV Happy Mothers Day A rich child often sits in a poor mother's lap.
~ Danish Proverb
There never was a woman like her. She was gentle as a dove and brave as a lioness...
The memory of my mother and her teachings were, after all, the only capital I had to
start life with, and on that capital I have made my way.
~ Andrew Jackson Her children arise up, and call her blessed.
~ Proverbs 31:28
Help Wanted Add For Mothers JOB DESCRIPTION:
Long term team players needed for challenging permanent work in an often chaotic environment. Candidates must possess excellent communication and organizational skills, be willing to work variable hours which will include evenings and weekends, and frequent 24 hour shifts on call. Some overnight travel required including trips to primitive camping sites on rainy weekends and endless sports tournaments in far away cities. Travel expenses not reimbursed. Extensive courier duties also required.
RESPONSIBILITIES:
The candidate must be willing to be hated, at least temporarily, until someone needs $5. Must be willing to bite tongue repeatedly. Must possess the physical stamina of a pack mule and be able to go from zero to 60 mph in three seconds flat in case the screams from the backyard are not someone just crying wolf. Must be willing to face stimulating technical challenges such as small gadget repair, mysteriously sluggish toilets, and stuck zippers. Must screen phone calls, maintain calendars, and coordinate production of multiple homework projects. Must have ability to plan and organize social gatherings for clients of all ages and mental outlooks. Must be willing to be indispensable one minute and an embarrassment the next. Must handle assembly and product safety testing of a half million cheap, plastic toys and battery operated devices. Must always hope for the best, but be prepared for the worst. Must assume final, complete accountability for the quality of the end product. Responsibilities also include floor maintenance and janitorial work throughout the facility.
POSSIBILITY FOR ADVANCEMENT & PROMOTION:
Virtually none. Your job is to remain in the same position for years, without complaining, constantly retraining and updating your skills so that those in your charge(s) can ultimately surpass you.
PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE:
None required. On-the-job training offered on a continually exhausting basis.
WAGES AND COMPENSATION:
Get this! You pay them! Offering frequent raises and bonuses. A balloon payment is due when the offspring turn 18 because of the assumption that college will help them become financially independent. When you die, you give your children whatever is left. The oddest thing about this reverse-salary scheme is that you actually enjoy it and wish you could only do more.
BENEFITS:
While there are no health insurance, no dental insurance, no pension, no tuition reimbursement, no paid holidays, and no stock options offered, this job supplies limitless opportunities for personal growth and free hugs for life if the candidate plays her cards right. Wednesday Night Services: This past Wednesday we held our final session of the Crown Financial Ministries Short Course, which was conducted by Brother Jason Stewart. I found this to be a very worthwhile course in learning and/or being reminded of the Biblical financial principles we should all be striving to live and exemplify in our Christian walk. Next Wednesday I plan to conduct a planning session to obtain feedback from our congregation on what would be most beneficial to do on Wednesday evenings as we strive to grow and develop spiritually, which should be uppermost in our minds as Christians. I am looking for ways to make our Wednesday evening sessions more interactive as we study particular subjects or books of the Bible or simply try to answer your questions or fulfill your desire to learn more about a particular topic. I am also desirous of trying to seek your input on ways to incorporate greater fellowship among our congregation on Wednesday evenings. We'll also talk about continuing to have singing instruction on a periodic basis. Thus, I invite all of you to come to the church next Wednesday evening, May 12th at 6:15 p.m. as I am sincerely interested in getting your feedback as to how we can make our Wednesday evenings more interactive as we all seek to grow in wisdom and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ while also providing more opportunities for fellowship with one another. Brother Alfred Blevins who was a former member of our church here at Tyler passed away last a few days ago after having triple by-pass heart surgery a week earlier. Brother Blevins was currently a member of Old School Primitive Baptist Church in Ft Worth. His funeral was held last week with burial at Midlothian, Texas. His wife Marie preceded him in death. Brother Blevins was 84 years old. Report from Bethel Primitive Baptist Church Nashville, Tennessee:I had an enjoyable conversation with Elder Ronald Lawrence of Bethel Church yesterday, and got a report as to the flooding of the Cumberland River in downtown Nashville this past week. We were thankful to find out that none of the church family there received any extensive damage, but just minor things like trees down, or maybe a little water in basements. I also found out that Brother Ronald and Sister Karen are the proud grandparents of their ninth grandchild, who was born to their youngest child, and only daughter, Sarah Griffin of Florida. Harlow Karen Griffin was born on April 28 and weighed 7 lb and 4 oz. This was Sarah’s first child and we would like to congratulate her and her husband along with Ronald and Karen. Also found out that Bethel Church plans on meeting for the first time in their new building in Goodlettsville, TN (Nashville Suburb) two weeks from today. Thanks be unto God for his mercies. Brother Darrell McSwain continues to need our prayers as he suffers with his health. Please continue to pray for the entire McSwain family.
