FRIDAY, 2/27/09
Jeff Camp, son of Miss Kittie Camp, was taken from Montgomery to Birmingham yesterday because of some complications from his surgery of a few weeks ago. He was admitted to the hospital and will stay until the find the cause of his problem. Pray for Jeff & his family.
Our dear friends from Holland, MI, Ross & Kathy Genzink are grandparents! Their oldest daughter, Jenna, gave birth yesterday to a girl named Elliott (probably spelled incorrectly by me!) and she checked in two and a half weeks early but weighing 7 pounds & 4 ounces. Congratulations to Jeremy & Jenna Kreuze on this new addition to their family!
I have always looked at Ross & Kathy as parent figures in my life and I guess now they will move to being grandparent figures! Wow, they are getting old in a hurry!
The family of Lillian Brinkman will host an 80th birthday party for her tomorrow, 2/28, from 2:00 – 4:00PM in the fellowship hall. You are invited and the request is no gifts!
The past twenty plus years have seen Morris Bryant and me travel to the AHSAA state finals basketball tournament. The past dozen or so years it has taken place in Birmingham. We traveled to B’ham yesterday in time to catch the 4:00, 6:00, & 8:00PM championship games. My source for passes dried up this year but Craig Moss came through in flying colors – he is an important man in Hoover, AL! So, the next two days will see us watch basketball from 9:00AM until about 10:00PM – awesome!
Tony & Dawn Hacker have been actively helping fill the open spaces on the June 18 – 25 GRACE trip. I think we still have some openings so please contact me if you are interested in joining us. We will be joined on that trip by Pastor Abel Garcia and about 11 others from his church. Pastor Doug Chappelle and his daughter, Callie, will also be joining us.
We will have a brief meeting this Sunday evening, 3/1, immediately following the service for those folks going on the July 23 – 30 GRACE trip. This is important so please attend.
We will be observing the ordinance of baptism in our 10:30AM & 6:00PM services this Sunday.
I pray that you will have a great Friday with Jesus.
