MONDAY, AUGUST 20
We had a blessed day in our services yesterday and we thank God for His blessings. The trio, Felicity, sang in the PM service and I appreciate their willingness to come minister. It was good to see a number of folks respond to the invitation last night as they spent time encouraging one another.
Dollie Trout will be undergoing heart surgery around 10:30AM this morning so please keep her and her family in your prayers.
It is my understanding that Rusty Lewis will have one of his kidney’s removed today. His son, Cam, attends our student Bible study from time to time. Please pray Rusty and his family too.
Pete Nelson, Rita’s dad, will have some testing/procedures done today in California. Please pray that the doctors will be able to get a clear picture of what is happening with his heart and that they will be able to correct it. Pray for Rita as she waits beside her dad.
The funeral service for Tammy Litton takes place at noon today so pray for Pastor Ed and his family during this time.
The final mission team, 1st Baptist Wilmington, NC, to use the mission house this summer came home yesterday. We are thankful to them and all the other churches that have used the mission house thus far this year. It has been a blessed year of ministry.
Derrick & Jodie Wilkerson ended their interim ministry as our resident missionaries to Guatemala yesterday too. I appreciate the ministry they have had for the past eighteen months. Derrick resumes his seminary studies tomorrow, 8/21. Pray for them as Derrick completes this final year of seminary and they apply with the IMB for appointment.
FYI – the Foundations of Friendship class is completely filled. Thanks to all of those who have signed up. It will be offered again beginning the first Sunday in October.
I pray that you will have a great day with Jesus!
