“Be kind to one another, tender-hearted, forgiving each other, just as God in Christ also has forgiven you.” (Ephesians 4:32)

First, my wife made it home yesterday morning and for that I am most grateful.  I am very glad that she was able to spend a week with Soy, Deidra and the girls just enjoying their company and doing ministry.  However, she was greatly missed here by me!  So, I am a happy camper!  She returned exhausted as I booked her on the red eye return flight (1:00AM departure) and she cannot sleep on a plane.  As is her nature, she stayed up and helped serve lunch before going to bed.  She would have gotten up for the evening service but I intentionally did not awaken her.

We had a good day in our services yesterday.  The attendance was down some but nearly what I was afraid it would be.  I am thankful that the rains held off until after the second morning service.  Pastor Mark Mast did a very nice job of sharing in the two morning services.  Thank you for giving to the love offering for Rachel Mast.

Ben Mast did a very nice job of brining the message in our evening service.  He is a fine young man and I believe he will go far in the ministry.  It has been a blessing to see the work God has done in his life over the years.

The reports are that the yard sale and auction went very well.  Thank you to all who had a part in these events.

Work day this Saturday, 3/17, beginning at 8:00AM.  Gary Walton has already volunteered to work the flower beds.  Steve Morris has ordered some sod and grass seeds for a couple of areas on the campus.  We will lay that sod and plant those seeds.  We will have biscuits available beginning at 7:30AM for those interested.

Carolyn Abendroth may be moved to a rehab facility today.  Keep praying for Carolyn.

The visitation with the Bubba Blake family takes place tonight from 4:00 – 8:00PM and then again in the morning from 10:00AM until the noon service time.  Everything takes place at the Mobile Memorial Gardens funeral home.  Pray for the Blake family.

Yes, our plans call for our 6:30AM service on Easter Sunday to be held outside.  Obviously, the weather could dictate a change in those plans but we are in hopes of being outside.  The 8:00AM and 10:30AM services will be held inside our auditorium.

Our adult choir will present their Easter musical on Sunday evening, March 25, beginning at 6:00PM.  Please make plans to be present.  Pray for this evening of ministry.

Congratulations to the Auburn basketball team for being a four seed in the tourney.  They should win their first game fairly easily. Alabama has a tough first round draw.  I like VT’s coach.  Good to see the SEC get eight teams in the tourney.  Totally not a fan of the play in games!  Let the tourney begin!

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