The church office is closed today.  However, I am in town and available in the event of an emergency.  I will go pray with Andy before his surgery this morning.  If you cannot reach me via my cell phone then Lisa’s phone is always on and she can track me down – I promise!  Please do not contact Bro. Abel today, tomorrow or Saturday.  I am the staff member on call.

Pray for Andy Hamil and Dr. Rex Looney today!

Our Sunday schedule for July 5 is two worship services – 10:00AM & 5:00PM.  No buses and no Sunday School.

Our youth Bible study went well last night with thirty students in attendance.  We had guests.  All thirty stayed for the watch party.  (Can someone please pull my toe nails off?)  Thank you to Dede, Ian & Siena, Bro. Abel, Scott Fontenot, Jimmy Tagert,  Brad Hutto, Henry Wyse and Lisa for their respective roles in last night’s Bible study and watch party.

Larry & Judy Whitehurst are hosting a swim party this Sunday night, 7/5, immediately following our evening service.  Food, fun and fellowship.  Evening church attendance is a must.  No two piece swim suits and everyone swimming, guys & girls, must wear a t-shirt.  Can you say old school?  Our rising sixth graders are invited to this fellowship.  No one younger, please.

If you have not done so already, I encourage you to read my third blog entry from yesterday.  If that does not move your heart then I do not know what will.  Two families from the Friendship family stepped up last night and made financial donations to help this family in need.  Thank you!  I am thinking that some folks who had already decided to not participate in the cake auction could possibly change their mind if they read the story.  Truth is the cake auction = meeting food needs of the hungry.  Want to help the two young people mentioned in the entry?  Contact me if you need more information.

With great hesitation and reservation, I am announcing that Lisa and I will host another watch party on Monday night, 7/6!  It will begin at 6:45PM.  Game begins at 7:00PM.  This will include our rising sixth graders through the class of 2026.  Pass the word!

I pray that you will have a great Thursday with Jesus.  Will you join me in praying for ten more cake commitments today?
