Mr. Edward Olson Smyly passed away yesterday afternoon.  He is the father of Dona Glass and Margy Perkins.  The arrangements are incomplete at this time but the visitation and service will take in Thomasville, Alabama.  Pray for the Smyly family.

The funeral service for Miss Betty Sprinkle will take place today at 10:00AM from the San Souci Baptist Church.  I appreciate those from the Friendship family who attended the visitation last night and encourage folks to attend the service today to support Kevin & Tina.

The funeral visitation and service for Joanne Moss, Larry’s sister-in-law, takes place today from the O’Bryant-O-Keefe Funeral Home in Pascagoula, MS.  I will be meeting with the family this morning at 10:00AM and then preaching that service at noon.

Miss Jackie Goff was admitted to the hospital yesterday.  Bro. Kerry visited her and I will do so this morning.

Miss Carolyn Kittles will have a stent put in the left side of her chest today.  The other two ports they have used for her dialysis are no longer usable.

Jay Jackson, grandson of Miss Exie Woods, has been diagnosed with plasmablastic lymphoma and is at the M.D. Anderson Hospital in Houston, Texas.

Here is what I consider good news – Donald & Pat Butler have closed their florist but have decided to continue to do arrangements for those wishing to place flowers in the church on Sundays.  Donald & Pat have done an excellent job for many years of providing beautiful arrangements to be placed in the church and they deliver them on Sunday mornings.  So, if you are placing flowers in the church in honor or memory of someone, you may want to give them a call.  (If you tell Donald that I recommended them, he will increase the price by 10%!)

We are on a regular schedule today.  Bro. Jerry will be preaching this morning while Bro. Kerry will attend the service for Miss Sprinkle and I will be with the Moss family.

I pray that you will have a great Wednesday with Jesus!
