The visitation for the Idice Reeves family will take place this SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, from 9:00 until 10:00AM with the funeral service set to begin at 10:00AM.  Everything will take place at the Mobile Memorial Gardens Funeral Home & Gardens located on Three Notch Road in Tillman’s Corner.   

We had a blessed Wednesday!  One of the highlights for me is to gather with the college/young professionals group at 8:00PM for Bible study.  We meet at Michael & Deidra’s and basically fill the place to overflowing.  Supper is served, Ralph Rimmer leads us in musical worship, and then we spend some time in the Word.  It is a good time of fellowship and discussion.  I would encourage any young adult to consider joining us for this Bible study time. 

I stood beside the bed on Tuesday reading Scripture and praying with Miss Idice Reeves.  She seemingly didn’t know that I was there but I knew that she loved Jesus, His Word, and praying.  I am saddened by her passing but rejoicing that she is now is the presence of her Lord Jesus and with her husband, Ed, and daughter, Rachel.  I commend Denise & Adam along with their families for taking such good care of Miss Idice these past few years. 

Our Upward basketball registration has begun.  Please contact Bro. Benny McGath to get a brochure or to receive more information.  The cost of participating has actually been decreased this year.  We are praying for good numbers in all six of our leagues.  As always, many volunteers are needed to help make Upward run smoothly.  Pray for Upward!

I pray that you will have a great Thursday with Jesus. 

I was called away from our college/young professionals Bible study around 10:20PM last night to go to the home of Idice Reeves.  She had entered heaven a few minutes prior to that call.  It is now shortly after 12:30AM and they have just taken the body to the funeral home.  Miss Idice was one of the sweetest ladies I have ever known – a champion for Christ!  The Lord gave her 88 wonderful years on this earth and she served Him well! 

It too early to know but, if possible, the visitation and funeral service will most likely be Sunday afternoon.  None of that has been confirmed at this time.  I will post the arrangements here once they have been finalized.  Pray for the Reeves family.
