THURSDAY, 5/1/08
Today is the National Day of Prayer. The auditorium of First Baptist Church of Bayou La Batre will be open tonight from 6:00 – 8:00PM for anyone wishing to go and pray. That will be a “come and go” event. Obviously, you can pray from any place but this is an opportunity to go to a place where the church meets. Pray for the USA!
I heard nothing but good comments from the Sean Dickens funeral service relating to our folks who were involved. Jeanette Bates did her usual wonderful job of ministering through playing the piano and organ. Roy Smullen sang while Curtis Whitehurst accompanied him on the guitar. Pray for the Dickens family.
A call has come from Theodore Methodist Church for help with the food preparation for the Ziglar family tomorrow. The needs are for vegetables, casseroles, salads, or desserts. If you will help, please have your dish in our fellowship hall kitchen no later than 9:45AM tomorrow, 5/2. Miss Vinnie Brewer will then transport the food to Theodore. If you have any questions, simply contact Miss Vinnie. Thank you in advance for your help.
We had a good day in our services yesterday. It began with a really strong number in our morning service. Once again, we had a strong attendance in our student Bible studies. We thank God for His blessings!
It was good to meet with our college/young professionals last night too. Lisa did a great job with the meal! Sam Schjott aka “The Milo Man” furnished the tea! He even gave me a gallon of Splenda sweetened tea. (I like outdated tea – it’s the thought that counts!)
We don’t have anyone in the hospital and for that we are grateful. However, Janice Moreland’s mother, Miss Sybil McCoy, is pretty low physically. Pray for Miss Sybil, Janice and the family during this time.
A number of our college students are dealing with finals this week. As the Lord brings it to your memory today and tomorrow, pray for them.
I pray that you will have a great Thursday with Jesus!
