Around 6:15AM today, Jennings Brewer left this life to enter Heaven.  Plans call for a brief visitation followed by a graveside service.  Everything will be at Serenity Funeral Home.  When?  TBA but most likely Wednesday or Thursday.  Pray for the Brewer family.

Wow, what an awesome day of worship we experienced yesterday!  It was truly a God thing.  The altar was close to filled in both of our morning services.  I could hear folks literally weeping as they poured their hearts out to God.  What a blessing!  The Spirit was excellent and the attendance was once again very strong.  Thank you for being faithful!

What can I say about last night’s service to adequately describe it?  The My Hope America video was spot on as evidenced by Debbie Kendrick’s salvation decision.  We had 54 families come forward to say they will attend a meeting to learn more about being a host home for the My Hope America night in November.  Amazing!  (We will have that meeting next Tuesday night, 9/3, beginning at 6:30PM in the fellowship hall.  A sandwich supper will be provided.)  Yes, yesterday was a God thing and we give Him all of the glory!  Thank you Jesus!

Folks, I missed God on the My Hope America emphasis.  I appreciate Pastor Jack Bailey pushing it continually.  Rob & Reb have been on board with it too.  We are now playing catch up but that is okay.

Full day today with hospitals, convalescent home and a funeral.  Let me share some prayer needs:

Miss Lois Adkinson is scheduled to have a heart cath around 11:00AM today.

The funeral for Amy Reynolds’ grandmother, Gloria Eden, begins at noon today preceded by two hours of visitation with the family.  Everything takes place at Serenity Funeral Home.

Amy Walker’s grandmother, Miss Brown, has been admitted to the hospital.

One of the men from the Mission of Hope shared with Jeff Holifield this past Friday night that his mother is in the hospital.

Donnie Felps’ mother is in the hospital.

Courtney Cavin’s newborn nephew, Connor, remains hospitalized.

Coach Eric & Sanna Collier gave me a gift last night to be used on the mission field.  Very nice gift and I appreciate it!

Thanks to each person who helped with the senior high fellowship last night.  It was good.  Lisa is a great hostess (I am biased).

So ready for this Thursday night and the college football season.

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