The adults met in the fellowship hall last night as the children’s choir used the auditorium for a dress rehearsal. As I walked out of the fellowship hall at the conclusion of the service, the student ministry building door opened and it seemed as though a thousand students poured out – praise the Lord! I then went to Soy & Deidra’s house and it was basically wall to wall with young adults – praise the Lord! I have mentioned before that meeting with those young adults is really a blessed way to end my day.
Speaking of that, we are going to meet at Soy & Deidra’s one more Wednesday and then we will move to the student ministry building. We just need more space and that building is more condusive to hosting a large number. So, on Wednesday, 5/27, we will meet in the student ministry building as soon as the high school students dismiss.
Dawn Autin did well through her surgery. Brenda Poiroux had a procedure done too but I am not sure if she came home from the hospital. Maxine Rogers will remain in the hospital until at least tomorrow following her procedure. Betty Hamil is having a procedure done today. Shea Childress got a good report from the doctor yesterday – praise the Lord!
Tammy Johnson passed away yesterday morning. She has battled cancer for several years. Please pray for that family. Continue to pray for all of those from our church family who are battling cancer.
Tracie Holifield’s sister, Tara, will have surgery today at noon. Sonni Holifield Eyler fell and broke her heel last week. I am not sure what they are going to do to correct that problem. Pray for these ladies!
A group of ushers/greeters met with Bro. Jerry & me last night to discuss how we can be most effective in that area of ministry. Hopefully, we will meet again in the very near future to continue our dialogue. We need more greeters – male and/or female.
T. Garrett Wright has invested a number of hours already in trying to help us get a passport for Hien (pronounced Hennie). I appreciate his efforts. It is always good to know folks in high places! By the way, it was great to have T. Garrett in our service last night and he was happy that I mentioned Rush Limbaugh!
I pray that you will have a great Thursday with Jesus.
