I received an e-mail from Docia Thompson last night giving some information relating to Dawn Hacker’s mother.  The funeral service is going to be private.  However, Docia is graciously leading an effort to provide a meal for the family for tonight, 7/24.  If you can help with this meal please call the church office and Miss Edna will put you in touch with Docia.  You can bring the food to the church and Larry & Docia will deliver it to the family.  Thanks to those who will help and please pray for this family during this time. 

Please continue to pray for Vance May, James Swann, Morris Dupont, and Kayla & Hannah Hatcher as they all remain hospitalized.  Also, pray for Carla Kyser as she meets with doctors to determine the next course of action relating to her cancer. 

We have a group from 1st Baptist Waxahachie, Texas using the mission house in Guatemala this week.  These folks are first timers so pray for them as they do ministry. 

There was a problem with the oven in the mission house last week and, thanks to Larry Whitehurst, one of the Texas team members was able to secure the part needed, take it with him, and repair the oven yesterday.  That Larry is one smart dude! 

Our friends in Michigan who are going to be on the team in Guatemala beginning August 2 need to remember the 6:30PM meeting tonight at the home of Ross & the Queen.  Also, remember there are no pick up trucks allowed in that exclusive neighborhood! 

Our Personnel Committee continues to accept applications for the position of interim custodian.  All applications need to be verbal and must go through Vinnie Brewer, Jim Sciple, Ben Vickers, or Kerry Woods by this Friday, 7/27, no later that 5:00PM.  This interim custodian will begin working next Monday, 7/30. 

All students wishing to take part of Endure this weekend must pay their $35 by tomorrow night.  Questions?  Contact Chris Taylor. 

Our 2007-08 deacons need to note that we will have a staff/deacons meeting this Sunday, 7/29, at 4:00PM in the pastor’s office.  Also, during that same hour Bro. Jerry needs to meet in the auditorium with all of the 2007-08 teachers/workers.

I trust that you will have a great day with Jesus.  Tell someone that Jesus is alive!
