Kings Highway Christian From the Minister. . . . .
I was deeply saddened to hear the news of Rev. Bob Allen’s sudden passing. He and his wife Karen served our congregation on two separate occasions over the years. I had the pleasure of meeting Bob at the end of his second term as interim minister here at KHCC. Shortly after my family and I moved to Shreveport he came by my house to welcome me and pass on the church cell phone. He also took the time during our visit to sing the praises of Kings Highway Christian Church and tell me how much he and Karen had enjoyed both of the interims they served here. By the end of our visit I was feeling particularly encouraged and was even more excited about my first day as your minister. In the last eight years Bob and Karen have visited our church several times. Our church was blessed to have him fill the pulpit on more than one occasion while I was out of town, and he was one of the ministers who presided at the funeral of Rev. Dave Farmer six years ago. With all of this, I still didn’t have the chance to get to know Bob as well as I would have liked and I envy those of you who were here during his time of service and had the chance to experience his ministry.
Please keep his wife Karen and his daughter Kirsten in your prayers in the days and weeks ahead. Services for Bob will be this Wednesday, Nov. 6th in Arizona. Karen and Kirsten have requested that instead of flowers, donations be made to the Susan G. Komen Foundation (you may contact the church office for details). Many times during Bob’s years in ministry he read the following verses in his booming voice; I can almost hear him. “I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Henceforth there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord will award to me on that day, and not only to me, but also to all who have loved the Lord.” 2 Timothy 4:7-8 In faith, David

KHCC STEWARDSHIP KINGS HIGHWAY CHRISTIAN CHURCH
ONE CHURCH TWO NEEDS
“Openly Christian, actively faithful, lovingly diverse.”
2014 Stewardship Campaign October 27th - November 17th ISN’T IT STRANGE? Isn’t it strange how a $100 dollar bill seems like such a large amount when you donate it to the church, but such a small amount when you go shopping? Isn’t it strange how endless an hour seems when we are serving God, but how short it is when we watch a Football game for 60 minutes? Isn’t it strange how 2 hours seem so long when you’re at the church and how short they seem when you’re watching a good movie? Isn’t it strange that you can’t find things to say when you’re praying, but you have no trouble on thinking what to talk about with a friend? Isn’t it strange how difficult and boring it can be to read one chapter of the Bible but how easy it is to read 100 pages of a popular novel? Isn’t it strange how difficult it is to learn a fact about God to share it with others, but how easy it is to learn, understand, extend and repeat gossip? Isn’t it strange how we believe everything that magazines and newspapers say, but we question the words in the Bible? Isn’t it strange how everyone wants a place in heaven, but they don’t want to believe, do, or say anything to get there? Isn’t it strange how we send jokes in e-mails and they are forwarded right away, but when we are going to send messages about God, we think about it twice before we share it with others?
IT’S STRANGE ISN’T IT? Are you laughing? Are you thinking about it? Spread the word, and thank God, because he loves you. — Author Unknown —
baby shower
“On the street I saw a girl cold and shivering in a thin dress, with little hope of a decent meal. I became angry and said to God: ‘Why did you permit this? Why don’t you do something about it?’ For a while God said nothing. That night He replied quite suddenly: “I certainly did something about it. I made you.’”
IT”S A BOY!!!!!
