Pastor's Blog

Important inquiry – I mentioned a few weeks ago the possibility of a few folks going to Guatemala for five or six days to help ready the mission house for the summer season.  Then the airfares went crazy high.  They have now dropped to a much better price.  The dates are Monday, 4/30, through Friday, 5/4, or Saturday, 5/5.  If you are interested and ready to ticket, contact me immediately if not sooner!  You would be asked to cover the cost of your airfare.  Airfares can change at any moment so please move on this now!  Thanks!

Korie Fontenot was able to go back to class at UM yesterday.  She must have thought I was preaching as she slept through her first class.  Nanette has called me no less than twelve times a day since Sunday night to give me updates on Korie.  Honestly, do I need an update every twenty minutes?  I am glad that Korie is doing better!

Carla Kyser will receive another chemotherapy treatment tomorrow.  Pray for her!

“Potluck with the pastor” takes place today.  Special thanks to Betty Creech for setting up the tables and chairs.  Ditto to Marisa Felps for cooking the roast and helping coordinate the entire meal/fellowship.  Of course, my wife is a huge plus in this ministry opportunity.  The meat, potatoes, rolls, and drinks will be provided.  You are asked to bring the trimmings and desserts.  Why not join us for this time of good food and great fellowship?  We are always finished well before noon.

If some goofy pastor had not postponed the workday last Saturday, we would not be asking our retirees and others to attend a workday tomorrow morning beginning at 8:00AM.  Goofy did postpone it so we need your help tomorrow.

There is a need for plastic eggs and candy for the activities scheduled for Saturday, 4/7.   You can bring them to the church office or leave them in the foyer of the auditorium.

We begin our study of the book, “Not A Fan” in tonight’s 8:00PM Bible study.  Should be awesome!

We need a miracle in order to reach our AAEO goal this Sunday.  We can still promote it through April but I would like to be finished before Easter.  I do not want to receive a special offering on Easter!

Dr. Brown gave me a good report yesterday morning.  It appears the infection is going/has gone away.  Praise the Lord!  The only lingering effect is that I can no longer hear my wife unless it is advantageous to me.  Do not ask me to explain that as I am not the doctor!

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