Today’s Bible reading – Ezekiel 42:1-43:27 James 5:1-20 Psalm 119:1-16 Proverbs 28:6-7

Rachel Jackson and those family members who traveled with her are returning home today.  Her nephew continues to receive his chemotherapy treatments as they fight this aggressive leukemia.

Miss Jackie Goff told me yesterday that their son-in-law, Billy Anderson, did not get a good report from the doctor regarding his cancer.

Bro. Benny and the bus/children’s workers will be hosting the annual Bus Ministry Thanksgiving meal this Sunday, 11/23, immediately following the 10:30AM service.  Takes place in the CAB.  Pray for this ministry.

Pastor Alton Stokes confirmed yesterday that his church (Grand Bay Church of God) will be providing two special music selections in our community Thanksgiving service this Sunday, 11/23, at 6:00PM.  The music should be really great with those two numbers plus one by our choir and one by Gordon Alford from Cloverdale Baptist.  (Pastor James Messer asked to borrow an outline from me yesterday but I told him that he was on his own)  It is going to be a great service and I hope you do not miss it!

Remember, we are having our 10:00AM service this Wednesday, 11/26.  It will be a special Thanksgiving service and we will be out by 11:00AM and then everything shuts down until Sunday, 11/30.  If you are in town and off work, come join us.

This is the front end of a major holiday with school being out the entire week for Thanksgiving.  I know that we are going to have families out of town this weekend and the following one too.  I am totally good with that.  My prayer is that those of us who remain in town will be faithful to attend the church services Sunday morning and evening.

Not a lot in the way of important college football games this Saturday especially in the South.  The following Saturday is the ticket!  Of course, that only comes after the huge Navy vs USA game on Friday @ 2:00PM.  Yes, I am tailgating with David & Kim and my nephew-in-law, Adam, who is a graduate of the Naval Academy will join us and will bring his two sons.  I am still fretting over what to wear!  Maybe I should call David and we can talk about it?

So, you cannot complain about those who complain?  That Bill Kendrick is one smart dude!  (You think that until you see him in that OM garb! LOL!)  Yesterday’s comments.

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