          “Love God, Love People, Make Disciples “
 

   What started as a one-on-one Discipleship over a year ago has evolved into a Disciple Training Ministry.

     Some of the men at Carey 1st from ages youth to elderly have been meeting to pray together, to  study God’s word and fellowship at 12:00 noon on Tuesdays. We are currently studying “No More Excuses “ and are meeting at  the United Supermarket Deli.
     We eat  a meal and support the business that allows us to sit as a group and study. I have yet to see anyone go without eating for lack of money because there is always someone ready to pay for anyone low on cash. We want to extend aninvitation to any of you guys that want to be a part of this ministry.

Today June 30, 2024 Carey 1st was blessed to witness the baptism of Aiden.  As a congregation we have seen Aiden grow in his faith and Love for Jesus. During youth camp he responded to the Lord’s call to accept him as his Lord and Savior. This young man met with Pastor Travis and Mattie Leamon and he was encouraged to weigh the cost of salvation.  Even after counseling on what he is giving up to serve Jesus he surrender his life to Jesus. He acknowledged with his own mouth that he is a sinner, that he believed in his heart that Jesus is Lord and died for our sins, that God raised him from the dead. Today as he was raised from the water symbolizing death, burial and resurrection. Today Aiden is  born again starting a new life,  a journey with Jesus. 
Aiden Carey 1st is here to encourage and support you along the way. May you build a relationship with Jesus in prayer  and listening when he speaks to you through  the Bible, his Holy inspired word. We love you and extend the offer be there anytime you need us….do not be afraid to ask because we have all been there and needed Discipling

The adults  present were also encouraged to pick up a gift for there mother and any daughter that has children or will be a mother before next Mother’s Day.

It was a blessed day praising God and recognizing the importance of Mother’s in every part of our lives. Thank you Mom’s for bringing your children or allowing them to worship God and give them the opportunity to study his word. There is nothing more important than your child’s salvation and you being a part of their spiritual journey.
