Bro. Richard's Sermon for Today: "GOD'S Little Extras"
Job 42: 10......"And the LORD turned the captivity of Job, when he prayed for his friends: also the LORD gave Job twice as much as he had before."
We all know that Job was caught in a struggle between the LORD and satan. Job lost everything he had, but never lost sight of GOD. His friends even brought him grief and trouble, but still he prayed for them. After seeing him pray for his friends GOD restored the fortunes of Job by twice as much as he had before.
Even CHRIST prayed for himself when in times of trouble and asked GOD to forgive his enemies because they knew what they were doing to him. HE prayed for himself in Luke 24:46; And when JESUS had cried with a loud voice, HE said, "Father, into thy hands I commend MY SPIRIT."
We need to learn to pray for our enemies and pray for ourselves to be able to forgive others and strive to do GOD'S will. Whatever harm has been done to you by others, just like Job, GOD will reward you with even more than you had before. Believe, pray, forgive and you will be blessed like Job.

History of our Church
The first religious gathering place of the original pioneer families of the community is said to have been at the site of a sunken boulder, next to which the first crude log meeting house was constructed. Because of this boulder, the first structure was know as the "Old Rock Church".
About 1871, a larger one-room frame building replaced the log structure and the name was changed to Mims Chapel, after two brothers who were instrumental in procuring the six-acre tract of land. This white painted, one-room church remained in use until 1936, when a bad list to the structure necessitated its being torn down. The new church was built from the same material, except for necessary additions.
In January 1969, the old wooden building was torn down and replaced by a modern brick structure.
Mims Chapel maintains its strong historical background , while striving ever-forward to help spread God's glory and kingdom. Praise God in the highest! May Mims Chapel forever be the "Old Rock Church".
