MONDAY, 6/9/08
We had a great weekend and it was capped by our VBS Family Night last night. I think I remember Myrtle saying that we averaged 309 in attendance which is a little lower than in previous years. However, we had a good VBS and I appreciate all who helped in any way!
It was a joy to see Holly Guidry make a public profession of faith in our 10:30AM service yesterday. Her grandmother, Cecil, led her to the Lord. Of course, I was blessed to have Deidra “come home” and Michael join by letter too. God gives the increase and we give Him the glory!
Jenny Bosarge gave birth to Blake last Friday morning. He checked into this world weighing 3 lbs 14 oz and was 17 inches long. Mother and son are doing fine although still hospitalized.
We have six men nominated to serve as deacons. We will check with all six of them to confirm their willingness to serve and then will elect three of them on Sunday evening, 6/22. We will list those six names once we have made the necessary confirmation with each nominee.
Pray for Louise Morris and her family as they will have the funeral service for her brother, Leo Reinwald, today in St. Louis.
Chris & Nicole Taylor lead our middle school students to the Wild Week camp in Orange Beach today. They will return on Friday so please pray for them. Pray that God would speak to these students in a special way during this camp.
Our summer missionary is doing great! I am receiving regular updates from her and it seems the Lord is using them in a special way.
Today is Miss Vivian Ladnier’s 84th birthday! Happy birthday Miss Vivian! What a young 84 she is as she leads our Sunday & Wednesday convalescent home ministry, our Mission of Hope ministry, worked in the VBS kitchen last week, and the list goes on!
If my memory serves me correctly, this is the week for Leah Compagner’s wedding! Congratulations Leah & Brian! Leah finally hooked one and got him in the boat – amazing!
I hope you have a great Monday with Jesus!
