In lieu of flower the family requests memorial contributions be made to the charity of your choice.

I was wrong! (Again)  Tim Knighten will meet with the doctor(s) this morning for his test results.  It was not scheduled for yesterday afternoon.  My apologies for the misinformation.  Pray for Tim & Peggy this morning.

The arrangements for Danny Lewis are as follows:  visitation with the family this Friday, April 26, from noon until 1:00PM at the Norris Funeral Home in Bay Minette, Alabama.  I do not have the name of the cemetery but I do know it is the one where Danny’s mother is buried.  I will update this once the obit is posted online.  Pray for Pam and the Lewis family.

Our ladies will be providing a meal for the Lewis family following the service.  Clara Broadus & Rita Boutwell will be coordinating this ministry opportunity.  Details coming.  Contact Clara if you are willing to help, please.

Mrs. Vel Brannon’s heart surgery went as expected.  As far as I know, they did three by-passes.  Miss Vel will be in the unit for two or three days.  Keep praying!

Winston Gulley is still scheduled to have heart valve replacement on Thursday.  Keep praying for Winston.

Soccer again this afternoon beginning at 4:30PM and ending at 7:00PM.  Pray for this ministry.  (Betty, you are needed in the concession stand again, please)

Speaking of soccer, we could use some volunteers to bring their mowers and help clean up the back forty (not the actual playing fields) today, tomorrow, Thursday or Friday.  Any, and all, help would be greatly appreciated.  Contact Bro. Abel if you need more information.

Regular schedule on our campus tomorrow morning and evening.

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