Focus Church:  Cosby Zion/Clarksdale
Pastor:  Connie Eighmy and spouse Mike

Please keep Pastor David Mortenson and the congregation of Woods Chapel (Odessa) in your thoughts and prayers.  The church was completely destroyed by fire during the night.  We wish them hope, and faith, and quiet strength during this time.
 

Scripture - Psalm 66:1-12

Psalm 66

For the music leader. A song. A psalm.

66 Shout joyfully to God, all the earth!
²     Sing praises to the glory of God’s name!
        Make glorious his praise!
³ Say to God:
“How awesome are your works!
    Because of your great strength,
        your enemies cringe before you.
⁴ All the earth worships you,
    sings praises to you,
        sings praises to your name!” Selah

⁵ Come and see God’s deeds;
    his works for human beings are awesome:
⁶ He turned the sea into dry land
    so they could cross the river on foot.
        Right there we rejoiced in him!
⁷ God rules with power forever;
    keeps a good eye on the nations.
        So don’t let the rebellious exalt themselves. Selah

⁸ All you nations, bless our God!
    Let the sound of his praise be heard!
⁹ God preserved us among the living;
    he didn’t let our feet slip a bit.

¹⁰ But you, God, have tested us—
    you’ve refined us like silver,
¹¹     trapped us in a net,
    laid burdens on our backs,
¹²     let other people run right over our heads—
    we’ve been through fire and water.

But you brought us out to freedom!
