MONDAY, 8/3/09

Wow, what a weekend!  God is good!  Bro. Jerry tells me that  36 of our Sunday School workers  attended the training on Saturday.  Thank you to Bro. Jerry for coordinating that event and to each person who participated.  My prayer is that our Sunday School will be strengthened. 

The fiesta for our Hispanic friends was attended by about 12 folks.  Not a lot but a start and I am very grateful to each person who helped in any way.  The Sunday afternoon service is a good news/bad news scenario.  The bad news is that we had no one attend but the good news is that we cannot go backwards!  I could go into some of the “reasons” but suffice it to say that I am not discouraged and think this thing is of God so we press on.  Again, thanks to those who came to help on Sunday afternoon.

What a joy to see Lindsey Vice come forward to follow the Lord in believer’s baptism during our 8:00AM service.  We will be observing the ordinance of baptism either this Sunday evening, 8/9, or the following Sunday evening, 8/16. 

“An Evening of GRACE” was a blessing too.  I realize the services were longer than “normal” but it was a blessing to hear April & Jaclyn sing and the messages delivered by Pastor Mel Hacker & Pastor Bob Harvey.  I had a number of folks share positive comments and ask if we could have the girls back at a later date and give them more time to share.  So, we’ll prayerfully consider having another service in the future. 

Sonny Bates is now serving at the chairman of our deacons, Raymond Wilkinson as the vice-chairman, and Carl Ray Moulds as the secretary.  Pray for the eight men who serve as our deacons. 

The funeral arrangements for James Merritt are still pending.  Kathleen Henderson, Joey Switzer’s grandmother, is in a local hospital. 

Samuel Acan is taking it all in.  He was amazed at the “busyness” of our Sunday.  He went to Auburn with Pastor Bob & Renee last night.  It has been fun hosting him. 

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