Good Sunday!  We give God the thanks!  I am so very thankful for my church family.  We have now looked at faith, family, faith family and this Sunday, 11/23, we will look at “I Am Thankful For My. . . . .”

Dr. John Nicely and his wife, Robin, are good friends and great supporters of GRACE Ministries.  They have been on numerous trips and Dr. John is always one of our lead doctors.  He and Dr. Mark Stid are constantly recruiting medical folks to join them on GRACE trips.  Dr. John has had two surgeries within the last week and was (as of Saturday afternoon) in ICU in the Holland Hospital.  He has “bilateral knee infections” which came out of nowhere.  Pray for Dr. John to heal completely.  Pray for Robin and their sons as they deal with this too.

Rita Vice’s dad’s service takes place this Wednesday, 11/19, at 11:00AM (1:00PM our time) in Riverside, California.  Pray for Rita and the family.

The arrangements will be made today for Junior Bosarge’s sister-in-law’s service.  The thinking now is a service either tomorrow or Wednesday at Oddfellows in Bayou La Batre.  We want to minister to this family by providing a meal following the service.  If you will help, please call the church office today (8:00AM – noon, 1:00PM – 5:00PM) and let us know.

Lisa Thompson has not been feeling well at all.

C had a couple of tough days but had a better night on Saturday.  Still no word from MDA.

Daphne goes for her last chemo shot of this cycle today.

Dr. Jack Bailey is slowly, but surely, recovering from his surgery of last Thursday.  He is definitely not jumping fences!

The first team with Mark Mast returns home today and the second team is en route.  Pray for travel for both of these teams.

Have you ordered your pumpkin roll from Ashley Crawley?  You can call the church office to do that too.

The USA Jaguars are bowl eligible after their stirring comeback against Texas State this past Saturday.  (Folks, I really do not care but am simply trying to appease Kim French!)  They travel to play USC this Saturday and then finish with Navy at home.  Will they get picked for a bowl game?  IDK.
