We will have our regular 6:00PM service this Sunday, 9/4/11.  However, the fellowship is postponed and we will not have choir practice, AWANA, or Discipleship Training.  I will be preaching in the 6:00PM service.

We are not asking folks to risk injury or get out in horrible weather.  However, if you are able and the weather conditions are favorable, come join us.  Obviously, we could change these plans and, if so, that announcement will come Sunday morning.

So, we are on a regular schedule for Sunday morning and will have a 6:00PM service in the auditorium.  Thanks for being understanding and flexible.

By the way, Mrs. Aldruda Hines passed away.  The visitation with the family is tonight and the service is tomorrow.  Pray for the Hines family.

Also, Kevin Fox was involved in an accident.  His neck is broken and he is supposed to have surgery today.  Pray for Kevin.

Blessings!

I am writing this entry a little before 3:00AM and I have to be honest in saying that my mind has wandered through the night to 25 years ago.  It was on September 2, 1986 that Lisa’s only brother, Michael, was involved in a fatal automobile accident.  It seems like yesterday and it also seems like an eternity ago.  I do know that death stings!  I would ask you to pray for Charles, Ann, Kim & Lisa today.  Thanks!

By the way, Michael & Dub Ladnier were big buddies.  Three short years later, 9/2/89, Dub would pass from this life and join Michael in heaven.  So, pray for Cecil, Myrtle, & John Milton today too.

I am also watching, praying, and considering what to do as the system in the Gulf is going to most assuredly dump a ton of rain on us this weekend.  We will have a regular schedule on Sunday morning.  I have sent our deacons an e-mail asking for their thoughts on the Sunday evening fellowship/service.  The rains are supposed to be fairly torrential along with wind.  Please check this blog for a final word.  We will definitely make the call by tomorrow.  I do not want to be unfair to Dale & Karla.  Deacons, please contact me today.  Thanks!

Amy Huhn’s mother is in the hospital.  She is having some problems related to the chemotherapy.  Pray for her.

John Meredith’s problem has been e-coli.  They grew a culture and gave him that word yesterday.  He and Arlene are traveling home today.  Pray for them as they travel and for John as he recovers.

Herbert Benefield came home from the hospital yesterday afternoon.  He will not be down long b/c he is Herbert!  Pray for him!

The service for Mr. Skelton takes place today at 2:00PM preceded by two hours of visitation.  Everything is at Serenity.  Pray for the family.

Carla Kyser received her treatment yesterday.  Brenda Timberlake’s heart cath showed no blockages.

Looking forward to 11:21AM tomorrow.  Bill Kendrick and I are excited!

I pray that you will have a great weekend with Jesus.  Stay safe.  Check back for the details regarding Sunday night’s service.
