WEDNESDAY, JULY 18
The arrangements for Ronnie Owens are as follows: visitation tonight from 5:00 – 8:00PM in the church auditorium followed by the service tomorrow morning, 7/19, at 10:00AM. The burial will take place near Greenville, Alabama with a graveside service at 3:00PM. Please pray for Mary Lee, Vickie, Kevin, and their respective families as they go through this time of sorrow.
Also, please note that we will not have our morning or evening prayer service/Bible study in the auditorium today. All of our adults are asked to attend the visitation with the Owens family. The same applies to our college/young professionals Bible study. However, we will have all other classes including our middle school and high school Bible studies.
Thank you to those who will help with the refreshments for the Owens family tonight and the meal tomorrow. If you are interested in helping with the meal, please contact Miss Kittie in the office today at 445-5412.
I spoke with Bro. Johnny via the phone last night and received an e-mail from Derrick during the night too. The group is doing well and may actually complete 25 houses. Bro. Johnny and IMA have been a huge blessing to GRACE Ministries and I am grateful for the ministry God has given to Bro. Johnny.
We are going to observe the ordinance of baptism this Sunday evening as a part of our 6:00PM worship service. All baptismal candidates should meet in the Pastor’s office at 5:30PM Sunday.
I had the joy of having a root canal done yesterday. I am blessed that I haven’t had any pain or discomfort from this procedure. Dr. Tommy Hannahan did the procedure and he is really good – maybe because he is an Alabama football fan? Of course, my personal belief is that men simply handle pain so well. . .
Pray for the Bates and Holley families as they focus on getting the buildings ready for Saturday’s 2:00PM wedding. You are invited to attend the ceremony.
I pray that you will have a blessed day in the Lord.
