MRS. BAILEY PROMOTED

My niece, Jamie, just called to let me know that Pastor Jack Bailey’s mother passed away this morning.  She was at home surrounded by her family and now she is at “home” surrounded by her family.  Absent from the body, present with the Lord!

Pray for Pastor Jack & his family.

WEDNESDAY, 3/10/10

Wow, what a crowd for the visitation with the Gillespie family last night!  Because of the rainy weather, we had to be a little innovative to get folks in the building and out of the rain.  Special thanks to those who helped make that possible.  Edd, Sandy, & Braxton did well.  It was a long night for them as they didn’t leave the church until around 10:15PM or so.

I also want to say a huge “thank you” to Raymond & Tina Wilkinson for taking care of serving the refreshments in the fellowship hall last night.  They always do a super job and I appreciate it!

Folks bringing food for the Gillespie family can bring it any time between now & noon.  Please place it in the fellowship hall.  Thanks to Miss Vinnie Brewer for coordinating this ministry and to all who will help in any way.

The service is at 2:00PM.  I appreciate the e-mail I received early this morning assuring me of prayer support.  Pray for Edd, Sandy, Braxton, and the entire family.  Pray that they will find His grace sufficient.

Pastor Mike Soesbie, 1st Baptist St. Elmo, is having surgery this morning.  He has been diagnosed with terminal cancer.  Pray for him, his family, and the church family.

I haven’t heard any update on Pastor Jack Bailey’s mother.  Sue Wyse told me last night that Jayne has seemingly been more alert in recent days.

We will not have our morning service today but will have our evening services/activities.  The sheetrock men begin their work this morning on phase one of the CAB renovation.  They will only work until the early afternoon out of respect for the Gillespie family.

This post represents a “first” for me as it is being typed using a MacBook Pro laptop.  I have had it since early January but haven’t really gotten use to using it. It was a gift and I know that I am going to love it once Chris Taylor teaches me how to use it!

I pray that you will have a great Wednesday with Jesus.
