The visitation with the family of Evan Eyler will take place on Monday, 5/4, from 5:00PM until 8:00PM in the auditorium of Friendship Baptist Church.  The service will also take place from the auditorium of the church on Tuesday, 5/5, beginning at 11:00AM.  Continue to pray for the Eyler family.

Today’s Bible reading – Judges 15:1-16:31 John 2:1-25 Psalm 103:1-22 Proverbs 14:17-19

Men’s breakfast in the fellowship hall this morning at 8:00AM.  All men are invited to attend.

Roseanne Baria did have another surgery late yesterday afternoon.  They are trying to determine the cause of her infection.  Terry & Carol Lucky were there with Robert during the surgery which I appreciate very much.  Visited with Roseanne and Robert yesterday morning.  She is such a positive person and has a strong faith in God.  Encourager!

Kelly & Sonnie Eyler, along with Miss Edna, will meet with the funeral director this morning to finalize the arrangements for Evan.  It is still almost unreal that this has happened.  I should be able to post the arrangements before noon today if all things go as planned.  Pray for the Eyler family.

Jimmy Moates was diagnosed with cancer about one year ago.  He has chosen to not make this a public matter until now.  The cancer is in his lungs and tongue.  He, Miriam and the girls (Lisa, Teresa & Melinda) are asking for our prayer support.

I do not do social media so I do not have an update on Ross & Betty Clair’s travels.  I do know we need to pray for them.  I suspect they are in India or very close to it by now.

The young lady, Amy, in Florida is seemingly near passing from this life.  Her sister, Emily, from Michigan arrived yesterday to be with her.  Pray for Amy and this family.

“Roses for mother” on sale in tomorrow’s services.  They cost $2 each and will be available as a part of next Sunday’s services.  Daphne Hutto & Kayla Hatcher will be the point people on this one.

So, I mention Will’s “wannabe” garden and Pattie Suthoff sends me a picture of her little “sandbox” garden – really?  Folks, I do not want to see pictures of your little “play” gardens or pictures of your last family vacation!  (The garden did look good but that is only because Charles Suthoff is taking care of it!)

Was able to hoe almost the entire garden yesterday, put ammonia nitrate around the corn and Charles used his tractor to pull dirt up to it, and I then used the tiller in the rest of the garden.  Travis Hyatt was kind enough to send me some okra plants that I hope to plant today.  Thank you Travis!  Got a ton of grass to mow i.e. push, weed eat and ride today after I finish at the men’s breakfast.

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