Yesterday’s (Saturday, 5/24) Bible reading – 2 Samuel 4:1-6:23 John 13:31-14:14 Psalm 119:17-32 Proverbs 15:31-32

Today’s Bible reading – 2 Samuel 7:1-8:18 John 14:15-31 Psalm 119:33-48 Proverbs 15:33

This entry is being written shortly after 10:00PM on Saturday night and is intended to be Sunday’s entry.

The wedding ceremony for Matt & Alisha was beautiful.

The 100th birthday celebration for Miss Annie Rogers was well attended (at least when Lisa and I went early on).  She, and her family, are so well known in the Grand Bay community.

Our second celebration service had 37 in attendance.  (Actually, 37 7/8 as Nicole was there!)  The band did well and Dale brought a good Word!  We actually had some “new” faces which is encouraging.

We are on a regular schedule this morning and evening.  Jim & Glenda Chinners will be cooking a “to go” meal that will be available immediately after Sunday School for those who attend the 8:00AM service and then after the 10:30AM service for all others.  The cost is $6 per plate with the proceeds helping our students take part in the GRACE trips this Summer.

I know it is a holiday weekend.  I pray that we will not forget those who have paid the ultimate sacrifice defending our freedoms.  I also pray that we will not forget/forsake the assembling of ourselves together today as the body of Jesus.  Yes, we have folks out of town but we also have a lot of us in town.  Lets be faithful!

Remember, the church office will be closed tomorrow (Monday) for Memorial Day.  I will be in town and available in the event of an emergency.  Otherwise, the office will open at 8:00AM on Tuesday.

Lisa and I had the opportunity to fellowship with Pastor Roy & Rachel (my first cousin) on Friday night.  We enjoyed ourselves as it is always good to spend time with such a fine young couple.

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