MEETINGS CLOSE WITH FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH OF BURBANK, IL.

WHAT A JOY IT HAS BEEN TO BE WITH THESE WONDERFUL PEOPLE OF FIRST BAPTIST AND PASTOR RONNIE AULGUR AND HIS FAMILY ONCE AGAIN. AS HAS ALREADY BEEN STATED THIS ALL BEGAN TWENTY-TWO YEARS AGO WHEN I FIRST PREACHED FOR FIRST BAPTIST. PASTOR HAS BEEN HERE NOW SOME THIRTY YEARS AND NEVER FALTERED NOR FADED IN HIS STALWART STAND FOR THE GOOD THINGS OF GOD. NOR HAS HE BEEN REMISS IN TAKING CARE OF A MYRIAD OF NEEDS IN A PEOPLE SO DIVERSE. THERE IS ALWAYS SOME "NEW AND DIFFERENT NEED" THAT MUST BE TACKLED ON A WEEKLY BASIS AND BROTHER AULGUR HAS NEVER FAILED TO MEET THAT NEED. WHAT A WONDERFUL PASTOR HE HAS BEEN THESE MANY YEARS. IF EVER YOU FIND YOURSELF IN CHICAGO AND NEED TO FELLOWSHIP WITH GOD'S PEOPLE CALL FIRST BAPTIST OF BURBANK AND THEY WILL EITHER COME GET YOU OR DIRECT YOU TO THE CHURCH - BLESSINGS AWAIT!

FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH, BURBANK, IL. MONDAY EVENING'S SERVICE

ONCE AGAIN THE LORD SHOWED HIMSELF MIGHTY AS THE ALTAR WAS USED EXTENSIVELY AND ONE VISITING MAN WAS SAVED. VINCE, THE VISITING MAN HAD MET THE PASTOR THIS VERY AFTERNOON AND HAD INDICATED THAT HE WANTED TO COME AND MAKE SOME FRIENDS. HE MET THE BEST FRIEND THAT MAN CAN EVER HAVE, THE LORD JESUS CHRIST. HOW VERY WONDERFUL TO SEE THE LORD WORK IN THE HEART OF ONE SO VERY HUNGRY FOR FELLOWSHIP.

FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH, BURBANK, IL.

I HAVE BEEN PREACHING FOR PASTOR AULGUR FOR TWENTY-TWO YEARS - WE HAVE HAD SOME WONDERFUL MEETINGS BUT NEVER ONE QUITE SO PROFITABLE AS THIS MORNINGS MEETING. THE LORD'S PRESENCE WAS SO VERY EVIDENT AS A GREAT NUMBER OF PEOPLE, VISITING PEOPLE, WERE SAVED. THIS WAS A MOST UNUSUAL SERVICE AS THE LORD WAS DEALING WITH SO MANY HEARTS AND SEEMINGLY ALL AT ONCE. ONE FATHER, SAVED IN MY LAST MEETING HERE, REDEDICATED HIS LIFE TO THE LORD, HIS FOURTEEN YEAR OLD SON WAS SAVED, HIS MOTHER WAS SAVED, HIS SISTER WAS SAVED AND MAYBE ONE MORE MEMBER OF HIS FAMILY. TWO VISITING MEN WERE SAVED AS WELL AS SEVERAL OTHERS. IT WAS JUST NOTHING SHORT OF SPECTACULAR AS MANY WERE IN TEARS, MANY WERE HUGGING ONE ANOTHER - THE ALTAR WAS FULL WITH FOLKS PRAYING FOR THOSE BEING DEALT WITH. PASTOR AULGUR, WITH TEARS IN HIS EYES WAS VISIBLY MOVED NOR COULD I AS THE TEARS OF JOY FLOWED. WE LEFT THE CHURCH SOMETIME AFTER ONE O'CLOCK. I AM PRAYING AND ATTEMPTING TO GET THE MIND OF GOD FOR THE EVENING MESSAGE. I KNOW THIS I DO NOT WANT TO GET IN THE WAY.

EXCELLENT MEETINGS CONTINUE HERE AT BETHANY!
