The old adage goes “seeing is believing” and I have been waiting to see the engagement ring so I could believe but decided to go ahead and make the announcement sight unseen.  Rebecca Bates is engaged!  She will become Mrs. Jay Taylor on May 16, 2009.  Congratulations to Rebecca & Jay! 

I normally don’t post on Saturdays but did need to ask you to pray specifically for Shirley Bosarge.  I visited her yesterday and John Wayne noted that her hands had begun swelling.  Tina called me late tonight to say that Miss Shirley has an infection which is causing swelling over her entire body.  Pain medication causes a significant drop in her blood pressure so she is in a great deal of discomfort.  Please pray for Shirley, John Wayne, Tina, Mark, and the entire Bosarge family. 

Also, Brad Hutto’s Uncle Ricky passed away late this afternoon.  He lived in Town Creek.  It is expected his funeral service will take place Monday afternoon.  Pray for Brad and his family. 

My mother-in-law, Ann Clark, was discharged from the hospital this afternoon.  She has to go back daily for some out patient treatments.  Thank you for your continued prayer support. 

I don’t have an update on Louise Gibson.  I could not find Steve Mayfield yesterday and have not made phone contact yet either. 

Thank you to the ladies from the Friendship family who attended the funeral service for Mary Brown’s sister yesterday.  I know Mary appreciates you being there! 

This Sunday, 8/17, will see the 20-29 class meet in the parsonage during Sunday School.  It is also the last day to sign up for AWANA.  Also, all high school Juniors & Seniors are asked to meet with me at 5:00PM in the parsonage.   

Hope to see you in the services tomorrow!
