The Lord blessed and we had two salvation decisions in our 10:30AM service yesterday.  One was actually during the service and the Lord allowed me to lead a young man to Jesus after the service.  Good stuff!  To God be the glory!

Bro. Jim Chinners (8:00AM) and Bro. Chris Taylor (10:30AM) both did a good job of bringing the Word to us.  Again, we congratulate the Class of 2013.

Miss Tena Hovel and the children’s choir did a nice job of presenting their Spring musical during last night’s service.  Those workers and children worked really hard to share the Gospel through song and the spoken word.

It is a miracle!  Craig Kirschenman is off the ventilator, is off all blood pressure medicines to keep his pressure up, and is doing well.  He still has some steps to take but wow!  An on call doctor making rounds this past Saturday morning read Craig’s chart and simply said, “this man should not be here” (alive).  Hallelujah!

Miss Barbara Nevin remains hospitalized.  I will visit her and Craig this morning.

Amy Walker had an uncle pass away this past Thursday.  The visitation with the family will take place tomorrow, 5/21, beginning at 2:00PM at Gilmer’s Funeral Home in Mobile.  The service will begin around 3:00PM.

Donald Loyd passed away early yesterday morning.  The visitation with the Loyd family will take place tomorrow, 5/21, beginning at 12:00PM and lasting until the 2:00PM service time.  The visitation and service will take place at Serenity Funeral Home in Theodore.

Folks, we have a huge ministry opportunity in feeding these two families.  If you have not done so already, please call the church office today to sign up to help.

We reached our adjusted goal for the Annie Armstrong Easter Offering.  Next, we will talk about the distribution.  Thank you for giving to the Lord.

Received an e-mail from Jerry & Gloria.  They were in the Dubai airport awaiting their flight to India.  The flight from DC to Dubai was thirteen hours long.  They thank you for your prayer support.

Nanette Fontenot contacted me and she is not a happy camper.  Why?  We recognized her daughter, Korie, during the 8:00AM service yesterday as a college graduate.  It is all good – not!  Nanette wanted me to call her to the front as well in order for the three of us to have our picture taken together!  Is that weird or what?  Scott needs our prayers!

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