Maria Wainwright’s mother, Mrs. Hamilton, was given the choice to remain hospitalized or be discharged.  Obviously, she chose to go home.  The doctors are not optimistic.  Pray for Mrs. Hamilton and her family.

A good Sunday!  God is good!  He is faithful!  What a blessing to see one salvation decision in yesterday’s 10:30AM service and then to see five folks follow Jesus in believers’ baptism as a part of last night’s service.  God gives the increase and we continue to give Him all of the glory!

Men’s breakfast this Saturday morning, October 1, beginning at 8:00AM in the fellowship hall.  All men are invited to attend.

Operation Christmas Child boxes will be available from mid-October until some point in November.  If you need more information about this ministry, contact Reb Nevin.

October 2016 is going to center around “hope” with our annual “Hope Sunday” taking place on October 16.  We are also asking folks to be faithful in our evening services as we will have “October Nights!”

Congratulations to Pastor Joe David Bailey!  The Danville Baptist Church family extended a call to him yesterday morning.  He will assume the duties of pastor effective January 1, 2017.   Joe David is a great friend and I am very, very happy for him!

Did they really fire Les Miles?  I will admit that I do not understand the inner workings of the business side of college athletics but this seems crazy to me.  He was 114 – 34 in his eleven plus seasons.  Five top ten finishes, two SEC championships, one national championship, another appearance in the national championship game and the second winningest coach in the history of LSU football. Rusty is upset!  Basically begged me to take up an offering for Miles in last night’s service.  Has a Fathead of Miles in his living room.  He has set up a counseling appointment with me each day of this week.

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