MONDAY, 12/22/08

The Lord blessed and we had an awesome day in our services yesterday!  Give Him praise!  First, He used you to give graciously and we exceeded our goal for the Lottie Moon Christmas Offering – hallelujah!  To God be the glory!  Miss Edna will get the up to date total this morning but it appears we will be over the $22,000 mark which means you gave approximately $8,500 yesterday!  I will report an exact total in tomorrow’s post.  Again, to God be the glory! 

Our Girls In Action mission group and their leaders are to be commended for raising $1,020 through the GA post office.  Thank you for using that means to send cards within the church family. 

Bro. Kerry and the choir did a nice job of presenting the Gospel through song last night.  Sherry Lavelle and the hostess committee did a wonderful job of hosting the fellowship after the service.  Thanks to each choir member and to all of those who brought food and/or helped with the fellowship.

Pray for the John Freeman family today.  The visitation begins at 1:00PM and the service is at 2:00PM at Serenity.  Pray for Pastor John Womack as he ministers to this family. 

Britan Gillespie has a growth in her neck that the doctors do not like.  She will go for a needle biopsy today.  Miss Lenora Rivers has been diagnosed with cancer in her jaw area and will have a test today to determine if it is isolated.  Carla Felps Kyser receives her next to last radiation treatment today in her continuing battle against cancer.  Shea Childress continue to receive her treatments.  Phyllis Bush remains at home but needs our prayers.  Mark Mast’s maternal grandfather, Andrew Boeve, in Michigan is seemingly near death.  Mark and his family are en route to Michigan so pray for traveling mercy as they are driving through a pretty significant winter storm.  Larry Thompson continues to rehab at home from his hip surgery and Homer Perkins remains in a physical rehab facility.  Pray for all of these folks.

It was bad!  Curtis Taylor, father of our son-in-law, Michael, and his wife, Myrna “from Smyrna”, gave me a bright orange UT (we are not talking Texas either) cap yesterday as a Christmas gift!  Without a doubt, the ugliest Christmas gift I have ever received!  I was horrified and my girls have been scarred for life as they witnessed the opening of the “gift!”  Hey Bret Hart, what is your mailing address?  I will admit that it was nice having Michael in the family for sixteen months!  Our other son-in-law, Brad, is safe as his parents, Gary & Teresa, would never!  (The whole UT thing is actually the fault of Janice Moreland!)

Speaking of gifts, my family and I have received our fair share from the members of the Friendship family and we are extremely grateful!  The best gift I received from our church family was the reaching/exceeding of the LMCO goal!  Thank you for supporting our IMB missionaries! 

Bro. Jerry is on vacation this week so please don’t contact him for anything church related.  Don’t forget our Christmas Eve service at 5:00PM. 

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