Bill Teasley departed this life around 12:30PM yesterday afternoon.  His wife and three of his children were at the hospital with him.  The arrangements are incomplete but the plan is to have a visitation and service on Wednesday.  Pray for Lynn and the family.

Louis Reyer was admitted to the hospital yesterday afternoon.  The doctors seem to think that he suffered a heart attack at some point Saturday night.

Jimmy Moates was also admitted to the hospital yesterday.  Still have much difficulty eating and drinking.

Becky Sellers will receive her sixth radiation treatment today and will then meet with the radiation oncologist to get a plan for the radiation treatments.  She continues to do well.

Pastor Wes Bates will be preaching the funeral service for the young boy (12 years old) whose life was taken in an ATV accident over the weekend.  This will be Wes’ first funeral and it will obviously be a tough one.  Pray for the family and for Pastor Wes.

What a wonderful day we enjoyed in our services yesterday – praise the Lord!  To see the baptismal waters stirred six times in the morning services was a real blessing.  Our morning attendance as strong!  Our evening attendance was good.  We thank God!

The Friendship family unanimously adopted our position and policies on the matter of same-sex marriages.  We are simply using the Bible as our guide.  I appreciate the many hours of prayer and work put into the formulating of this position and policies by our deacons.  They did a nice job.

Vacation Bible School begins in a little over three hours from now!  It will run from 9:00AM until noon today through Friday. Pray for all of those involved in this ministry.  Pray for this important week.

Bro. Chris Taylor leaves today to help lead a Wild Week camp in Texas.  Pray for him.  He will be one step closer to realizing his dream of being Ken Freeman!  (If he becomes another KF, Brianne will adore him!)

Griefshare will meet tonight beginning at 6:00PM.

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