“God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.”  (Psalm 46:1)

Karla Bosarge will be having surgery this morning.  The plan is to remove half of her thyroid.  Pray that all goes well.

Carol Lucky remains in ICU.  Pray for Carol and for Terry as he cannot be with her.

Kent Blaylock also remains in the hospital.  Kent is a fine man and is deserving of our prayer support.

Miss Lulu Amonett, Debbie Kendrick’s mother, has not done well since the whole isolation thing has been in effect.  She fell from her wheelchair late yesterday afternoon sustaining head injuries and was admitted to the hospital.  However, she still cannot have visitors so it is a difficult situation.  Pray for Miss Lulu.  Pray for her family.

Continue to pray for Marie Brooks’ brother.

Kendall Falana’s son and family are in the recovery mode after the tornado hit their house in Tennessee.  Kendall and Leah are there helping in the recovery/clean up efforts.  Pray for all involved.

They had a COLS for Kirk Lightfield’s father yesterday afternoon in Oklahoma.  Difficult time for Kirk and family.  Pray for them.

Thank you to those who prayed for the graveside service yesterday.  Only five folks were in attendance but I had the opportunity to share the Gospel.

Two drive in services today – 10:00AM and 6:30PM.  East side of the auditorium.  Everyone must remain in their vehicles.  There will be no person to person contact.  The study will be broadcast on the radio.

Bro. Abel will lead a Zoom Bible study for our students beginning at 6:30PM tonight.  Contact him for the details.

The church office is open today from 8:00AM until 3:00PM.  As has been the case for the past several weeks, we are rotating lunch times so the office is open for the entire seven hours.

Ok we are making a change in our on campus schedule beginning this Sunday, April 19, 2020.  We will have a drive in service beginning at 8:00AM on the back forty.  The music and message will be broadcast on the radio and everyone must remain in their vehicles.  The service will end no later than 9:00AM.

Then on Sunday evening we will have another drive in service beginning at 6:00PM and ending no later than 7:00PM.  Different message.  Trying to return to “normal” as best as we can.

I do not like to constantly mention the offerings but I think you understand the importance of our faithfulness in this area during this most unusual time.  Give online 24/7, mail checks to P.O. Box 756 Grand Bay, AL 36541, drop checks or cash by the church office Monday – Thursday or drop a check in the drop box at Lisa’s office 24/7.  I am so grateful for those who have been faithful to give during this season.  I do challenge our younger members to follow the lead of our senior adults and give faithfully.  You will probably choose to give online whereas they are more in person givers but regardless follow their example.

Pray for the folks in Guatemala.  Pray for Soy, Deidra and the girls.  Pray for the borders to open soon as Lisa and I would love to have the freedom to visit our family living there.  The Lord is also providing financially for the ministry in Guatemala and we are very thankful to Him.  God is faithful!  Thank you to those who have given and to those who are going to give!

I hate to say “I told you so” but I told you so!  I can remember hearing Dub Ladnier saying, “if I tell you that a chicken dips then check under her wing for a can of snuff!”  Just saying!

I pray that you will have a great Wednesday with Jesus.  Looking forward to seeing a good number attend our two drive in services today.
