To me, it is always a good thing to end a Sunday with a baptismal service.  Last night we saw three folks follow the Lord in believer’s baptism and we praise God for giving the increase.  We had a good day!

Our Spanish ministry had a total of 28 folks present but took a numerical hit as one large extended family is relocating to another state.  I have been told by a number of folks that is going to be the “norm” for a ministry such as this.  So, we just press on seeking to minister to those in this area. 

Miss Joyce Bosarge was in our service last night.  Miss Vivian continues to make improvement.  Billy Smith & Lois Kirschenman are rehabbing at home.  Sammy Bowden’s mother, Miss Eunice, took a fall at her church yesterday and suffered some broken bones i.e. nose, sinus cavity area, et cetera.  Rita Vice’s aunt, Marilyn Dukes, is in critical condition in a Dothan, AL hospital.  Raymond Wilkinson’s mother will have surgery this Wednesday.  A life long friend of mine, Susan Hinkle Hensley, will have surgery on Wednesday too.  Betty Taylor’s surgery has been set for Friday, October 9. 

Angie Kitchens, owner of Savannah’s Florist in Grand Bay, passed away last Friday.  Her service is tomorrow.  Word came to me last night that Rayford Dunham passed away yesterday afternoon.  Those arrangements are incomplete.  Lance Harbison worked at Chevron and was killed in a motorcycle accident last week.  His memorial service will take place this afternoon.  Pray for these families.

Bro. Benny McGath has resigned as the director of our children’s church.  Dale Bosarge has been elected to serve as the interim director.   I appreciate the many years Bro. Benny & Miss Julie have given to this ministry and I am grateful that he will still be leading our bus ministry.  Pray as we seek the Lord’s will in this vital area.

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