Word came to me last night via Miss Vinnie Brewer that Donald Butler’s father is having triple bypass heart surgery today.  He is 80 years of age so pray for Mr. Butler, the doctor performing the operation, all those giving assistance, and the Butler family as they wait.

Chuck Rockwell did come home from the hospital.  Saw Sue Blodgett at GROW last night and she said Roy has had a good week but they have several family members who are hospitalized including their son in Florida.  Pray for them.

Logan “JLo” Hatcher no longer has a catheter.  He is doing well up to this point.  Bernard Suthoff’s daughter, Lisa, remains hospitalized in Jackson, MS but is in a regular room.

We are on a regular schedule today with the 10:00AM service and the normal evening service/Bible studies.  The 8:00PM group begins a new study tonight.  The meal is going to be great!  If anyone sees Bre Woods, tell her Ken Freeman “may” be there.  (He will not but just the “maybe” part will be enough to get her there)

We need the folks who serve on the CAB renovation committee to meet in the CAB at 6:40PM tonight.  Important!

There will be a baby shower for Ross & Betty Clair Hatcher on Sunday, May 29, from 2:00 – 3:30PM in the fellowship hall.  It is a girl (Blair) and Betty Clair is registered at Target, Babies-R-Us, and Kountry Korner.  Ross would love to see Blair receive several “Bama girl” outfits!

Here is your internet special of the week:  Lisa and I have a Melville Clark piano that is in need of a good home.  It is house broken and likes children.  Interested?  Call us.  One catch – we are not Domino’s so we do not deliver!

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

Chuck Rockwell was set to be discharged from the hospital yesterday afternoon but I am not sure if that took place.  Daphne & Emmy did come home late yesterday morning and are doing great.  Donald Butler’s father remains hospitalized.

Spoke to Joe David Bailey Sunday night and sent him an e-mail yesterday.  The folks from Danville Baptist continue to look for ministry opportunities as a result of the tornadoes.  Again, thank you for giving to the special offering to help folks affected by the storms.  By the way, Joe David is having some “minor” (his word) surgery today so pray for him.

Tony Hacker told me yesterday that he spoke to Rex Looney via the phone about any needs for help in their area because of the tornadoes.  It is “possible” that Tony could lead a team up to the Madison area to help in some way.  If you have an interest in taking part in this effort, contact Tony.  You can call the church office to get Tony’s phone number in order to get more information.

We need the folks who served on the committee to renovate the CAB to meet tomorrow night at 6:40PM.  One item needs to be discussed so we can finish this renovation project.

Our VBS is upon us and our director, Myrtle Bowden, tells me that we are woefully short on workers.  Call the office to let us know you will help.  The dates are June 6 – 10 from 9:00AM – noon daily.  Thanks!

Our next “Potluck with the Pastor” takes place on May 25th.  We need a “grill master” for that day.  Qualified applicants please send your resumes to me immediately.

If you live in south Mobile County and drive, be careful!  Word has it that Hien, who now has her license, has a vehicle!  Oh my!  I have been told it is a Toyota and I think it is a Matrix.  Once I get a color of the car I will pass along the information so you can take cover in the event you see it coming toward you!

The young adults who attend our 8:00PM Bible study on Wednesdays need to know that the books are in and we will begin a new study this Wednesday night.  Join us and bring a friend.

The Lakers are done and I am no longer watching the NBA playoffs!  I expect David Stern to call me soon begging me to support the league but I am standing firm!

Speaking of basketball, Bro. Chris has a men’s team in the Grand Bay league.  I do not know who their sponsor is but it should have been Bay Water Wells as they have gotten “drilled” their first two games!  I read this quote last week, “it does not matter whether you win or lose. . . until you lose!”  LOL!  Seriously, TJ Vice nailing 3 pointers on you – wow!

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