Miss Nell is scheduled to have her hip replaced today at 3:45PM.  Obviously, that time is not set in concrete.  Pray for her as this will be a difficult surgery for a 97 year old person.  She is a sweetheart and a precious saint of God.

Bro. Chris sent an e-mail update to say that everything went great the first night.  There were three salvation decisions.  You can view photos at www.gocampevents.com.

Our students arrived safely to camp after experiencing a flat tire on the bus and Atlanta’s rush hour traffic.

The first day of VBS was a typical first day of VBS.  The attendance was down but will hopefully rebound this morning.

Thanks to those from the Friendship family who attended the visitation and/or service for Eric’s day yesterday.

Amy Walker’s paternal grandmother passed away this past Sunday.  The visitation with the family takes place tomorrow night, 6/5, from 5:00 – 8:00PM at the Serenity Funeral Home.  The service will be Thursday, 6/6, at 2:00PM from the funeral home chapel.  Pray for the Walker family.

Now the doctor is saying that Miss Nell Mulkey does have a broken hip.  Plans were for hip replacement surgery yesterday but she was running an elevated temp and they will not operate until everything is normal.

Visited with Tanya Love and there is no change.

Attempted to visit with Miss Barbara Nevin but they were working on her so I simply left a card.

Lisa Thompson goes to M.D. Anderson tomorrow for a couple of days of evaluations.

Bro. Kerry’s surgery is scheduled for tomorrow morning.

Kent Blaylock has been diagnosed with colon cancer.  The plan calls for surgery possibly next week but that is not a definite.

No 10:00AM service tomorrow due to VBS.  In our 6:30PM service, I will be sharing about the proposed distribution of our 2013 Annie Armstrong Easter Offering.  Note the earlier starting time!  That starting time is now the norm!

Evangelist Johnny Tucker will be our guest on Sunday, 6/16, and then Evangelist David Miller will be our guest on Sunday, 6/30.

Need to hear from any couples who have been married for 50 years or longer.  This includes widows/widowers who were married that long before their spouse passed.  We will recognize these folks in our 10:30AM service this Sunday, 6/9.  Must hear from you by tomorrow, 6/5.

Noticed that John Milton has a new partner in crime.  Yesterday afternoon, JM and Phil Sims were “looking” at JM’s garden but they spent most of their time peering over the fence with plans to visit.  Those plans were spoiled when they realized that I was working in my garden.  You have to keep a constant eye on those deacons!

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