THURSDAY, 6/5/08
It is has been a busy, busy week and that is a good thing! Our third day of VBS was our best attended of the first three days – I think we had 330 something. Things continue to go smoothly. Today is an important day as it our evangelistic emphasis. Pray!
Paul Smith’s funeral service will take place today at 2:00PM from the church auditorium. Thanks to those who attended the visitation last night and to those who will attend the service today. Bobby Stork has handled getting the pall bearers and I appreciate those six men. Bro. Benny McGath, Bus Director, is taking off work to be present and I am grateful as Bro. Benny was a big influence in Paul’s life. Pray that the Gospel will be clearly presented during that service.
The visitation for Dewayne’s aunt will take place tonight from 5:00PM until 8:00PM with the service tomorrow at 10:00AM. Everything is from St. Michael’s in the Heron Bay area.
Jenny Bosarge was admitted to one hospital and then moved to another hospital yesterday afternoon as she is having some complications with her pregnancy. It appears they will take the baby. Jenny is in her seventh month of this pregnancy so pray that the baby will be born with no complications.
Burney Barnes was placed in ICU yesterday and, obviously, is not doing well. Jean Hatcher was having a pretty tough day yesterday too as she was in ICU recovering from her surgery. No word on whether Estuardo Morales came home or not. David Boutwell remains hospitalized. Jimmy Crawley, Tyrone & Michael’s dad, is in the hospital as they are doing tests to determine his problem. Pray for these folks.
Leo Reinwald, Louise Morris’ brother, passed away yesterday afternoon. Thankfully, all five of his siblings were there in St. Louis, MO at the time of his passing. Pray for this family during this time.
I need to remind our Finance Committee members (who don’t read this blog anyway) that they have a meeting tonight at 7:00PM.
Katelyn Jackson is celebrating her 18th birthday today. She is in Guatemala with the First Lacombe team so I am sure Derrick & Jodie will see to it that she has a great day! Tiffany Bowden Fox is also celebrating a birthday today. Happy birthday Tiff!
Kerry & Sherry Woods are celebrating their 26th wedding anniversary today. (That is one ceremony I did that stuck – praise the Lord!) Also, today is Sherry’s birthday – that Kerry is one smart guy! Happy birthday Sherry! Happy anniversary Kerry & Sherry – what a great couple!
I pray that you will have a great Thursday with Jesus! He is Lord!
