THURSDAY, JULY 19
Linda Green will be having a procedure done today around noon at a local hospital. Trish Cohen will be having her left kidney removed beginning around 7:30AM (our time) in Jacksonville, FL. Please pray for these ladies and their families today.
Thank you to each person who attended the funeral visitation for Ronnie Owens last night. The family is doing well but can certainly use our prayers this morning during the service at 10:00AM and then the graveside service at 3:00PM in Greenville, AL. Again, I appreciate those who brought refreshments last night and those who will help with the noon meal today. You are a blessing.
I want to thank Chris Taylor for leading our senior high Bible study in my absence last night. I am told everything went great and that is a good word!
I keep hearing that Vince, Tanya, Madison, Morgan, and Chance Bosarge are back in town although I have yet to see them. I did see Chance in the gym last night but didn’t get the opportunity to speak to him. I am thrilled they are back! I don’t know what they did wrong for the Lord to send them to Michigan for a year but I am certainly glad they repented and He allowed them back to the promise land! (That was for all of my Yankee friends!) Seriously, we have missed the Bosarge family and I can’t wait to see them.
Our Personnel Committee met last night and accepted the resignation of Imelda Davis as our church custodian due some personal health concerns. This resignation is effective Sunday, July 29, 2007. The committee (Vinnie Brewer, Andy Hamil, Jim Sciple, Ben Vickers, and Kerry Woods) will be accepting applications for an interim custodian. If interested in the interim position, please contact one of the committee members.
Our missions committee met last night too to discuss a number of matters relating to our GRACE Ministries. Derrick & Jodie will be coming home shortly to resume his seminary studies. We support them through our Mission Antioch designations. I simply ask that you join my family in giving to this ministry over the next six weeks. May we finish well! Thank you to all those who have given over the past year and a half.
My plans call for me to preach Bro. Ronnie’s funeral this morning and then drive to Greenville for his graveside service. His son-in-law, Pastor Doug Chappelle, will be sharing/preaching too and I am blessed that he will be an integral part of these services.
I hope that you will have a great day with Jesus.
