Hey Fathers in the Field team,

We will have a booth set up this Saturday (Sept 12.) at the Bodock festival. Kevin Wallace is planning to set up the tent from 6 to 7am. We expect crowds between 8am and 4pm. At 4pm, we will begin tearing down the tent. The festival will be in the lower parking lot of the Pavilion, where the food trucks set up during the week. We will not know the location of the tent within the parking lot until Saturday morning.

We are asking anyone that can help to be there as often as you can and as long as you can. If you need to leave for an errand or something, that is not an issue at all.

We will not need very much help at 6am for set up, but could use the help between 8am and 4 pm, as well as to tear down afterwards. As you may know, there is very little parking near the Pavilion, so plan to walk a little to get to the festival parking lot.

We will also have some bibles and tracks to give away.

Be sure to wear your Fathers in the Field apparel.

Thank you so much for your willingness to serve,

Casey Russell

Just Jesus Inc has a very unique origin story, and they are passionate about providing free Bibles for anyone, anywhere. Many local ministries and churches across Mississippi, the United States, and the world receive Bibles from their ministry. West Heights is one of these churches. We receive Bibles for our Jail Ministry and our Millcreek Ministry to distribute.

This year, we will be entering into the Pontotoc Christmas Parade again by sharing our cardboard testimonies.

How you can help:

1 Pray for our team!

2 We would also like you to consider walking with us.

Has Jesus Christ changed your life?

We would love to have you join us. West Heights will be walking as a group in the Pontotoc Christmas parade, carrying poster boards (cardboard) that have written on them a short sentence or a few words about how Christ has changed things for us.

There will be blank poster boards and markers on a table in the fellowship hall this coming Sunday, November 30th. Feel free to grab one and write. You are welcome to do them at home as well.

You can also use your own, or maybe you have one from a year in the past. That is all great.

We will be assemblying in the parade staging area around 5:30pm on Monday night.

The staging area this year will be next to First Baptist on Green Street.

Meet us there!

Contact Bro. Casey at 662-419-4859 for more questions or if you are interested.

We will leave this Saturday, October 25 from the church parking lot at 9:00 am to drive to Redemption Church in Coldwater, MS. We will be canvasing several neighborhoods with flyers for Redemption’s upcoming fall festival.

The plan is to work from 10:30am to 12:30pm and then have lunch with Pastor Sam Henderson in Senatobia before returning to Pontotoc. Hoping to be back in Pontotoc by 4:30pm to 5:00pm.

You will only need money for lunch.

Please contact Casey Russell at 662-419-4859 if you are interested in going with us.

A truck will be leaving this week from Pontotoc, headed to take supplies to the victims of the devastating flooding in the Kerrville/Hunt Texas area. West Heights Baptist will host a 3 day drop-off for supplies. We will have this drop-off available until 4:00 pm on Wednesday, July 16.

Items being requested are pop-top cans of meats, vegetables, or fruits. Allen Maxey is heading up the drop-off. He will be boxing it up on Wednesday and delivering it to the truck that will be located at the Pontotoc County Ag-Center.

If you have questions, or would like to help Allen deliver the food, contact him at 662-308-1052.

This Saturday, June 28, at 8 am, we will be working on a widow’s yard in our community. The plan is to trim bushes and possible trim low hanging tree limbs. Will need a few ladders, a wheelbarrow, and hedge trimmers. I will have the mission trailer out there too. It has a couple pair of trimmers and plenty of rakes and gloves. Hedges are around 10 to 12 feet tall right now. They are the kind with stickers on the leaves so may want to wear long sleeves.

We are meeting at 8 am at Ladonna Hutchinson’s house to work on the hedges. The hedges are closer to her house than the owner’s house so it will be easier to park along the street there. Address is 111 Mauldin Lane.

This will be a great opportunity to show a widow in our community the love of God. Contact Casey Russell at 662-419-4859 if able to help.

The mission trailer ministry has an opportunity to help with a one day mission trip with some light construction in Corinth, MS on May 3.

We are seeing if there is any interest in going to serve at the El Roi home, a new christian rehab center starting up in Corinth. No construction experience is required. We need able volunteers to go.

This would be just driving up and driving back the same day.

Please contact Casey Russell at 662-419-4859 if you are interested.

We need to know pretty quickly if you are interested in going.

Please contact Casey by this Tuesday.
