My heart goes out to the Bush family as those children, although adults, deal with the passing of their mother yesterday afternoon and will attend her funeral service on Christmas Eve.  Pray for them.  Phyllis Bush was a sweet lady and will be dearly missed by her family and friends.  Again, if you can help with the food preparation for this family, please call the church office today. 

The “unofficial” observation by the medical personnel is that Britan Gillespie’s situation may not be what the doctors originally thought.  I simply ask you to keep praying as the official word is scheduled to come in a couple of days. 

Gene Freeman asked me yesterday if we would continue to pray for him and Sandra.  They seemingly held up well during the funeral service but certainly need our prayers. 

Carla Felps Kyser takes her final radiation treatment today before getting a brief break in the routine.  Homer Perkins remains in a physical rehabilitation facility.  Shea Childress is still taking treatments and Joyce Bosarge remains at home awaiting some new medication. 

Our 2008 Lottie Moon Christmas Offering total is $25,000!  Praise the Lord!  We have actually received $22,300 plus but someone contacted me yesterday to say they would give whatever total was necessary to bring us to the $25,000 mark.  To God be the glory!   

T. Garrett, we appreciate the Christmas card from you and Johna as it actually said “Merry Christmas!”  However, it appears the check had fallen out of the card so you might want to stop payment on that one and send another one! 

Don’t forget our Christmas Eve service tomorrow from 5:00 – 6:00PM. 

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