MONDAY, 4/9
I have never seen ice on the ground in Grand Bay on Easter but that was exactly the scene yesterday morning as the sleet remained in our flower bed on the west side of the auditorium almost all morning.
However, the Lord blessed and we had a wonderful Easter weekend. Saturday was a windy day but a good day for our classes/church/egg hunt. Thanks to Bro. Benny, Chris, Josh and all who helped make that day a success.
Sunday was a blessed day with our three morning worship services. The pattern has now become that our early service is fairly well attended, the second service is well attended, and the third service rivals the second one in attendance. Thanks to each person who went the extra mile in service to help us have these three worship experiences. We didn’t have any public decisions but did have folks at the altar in the final service.
We had a very nice attendance in our evening service as the adult choir led us in worship by presenting their musical. I really appreciate Bro. Kerry and our choir and the effort it takes to prepare for a service like that. The evening service was a blessing.
Ronnie Owens and Phyllis Bush remain hospitalized and need our prayers. Bubba Bennefield told me yesterday that he anticipated his granddaughter being discharged from the hospital soon – praise the Lord.
I was not aware that Betty McDonald had been kept in the hospital following her biopsy last Thursday. I received word last night that she came home yesterday. Please continue to pray for Betty & Belvin.
I am traveling to Decatur today to meet with the oncologist about my dad’s situation. He had a bone marrow biopsy last week and today’s meeting will reveal those results and a plan of action. We are trusting God in this situation but I just feel the need to be there for my dad.
We will have a regular schedule this Wednesday and I pray that you will join us for the respective Bible studies, prayer meetings, classes, et cetera.
