A Good Day

Yesterday was just a good day all around.  Sunday morning we had a good crowd, good singing, and good fellowship.  Sunday night Joe lead a good discussion on the church in Laodicea from Revelation.  The teenagers had a good night with Joel and Ann for a bone fire and board games.  It was a good, solid day.

We completed our third lesson on the 2nd Coming of Christ to answer the question, "Why hasn't Jesus come yet?". One more sermon in this series, "Until Then...".  What are we to do while we wait for His coming?  The Scriptures tell us.

We are proud to announce Bob Brackett was reunited with his umbrella Wednesday night.  It was a joyful reunion that was filled with dancing and singing.  It was also great to have two other umbrellas brought back (in case you're missing one).

On a serious note, we have many brothers in sisters in Christ who are dealing with a lot of things.  Mike McGee announced yesterday the passing of his sister, Brenda.  She had battled cancer for a while.  She loved coming to this church and being greeted by so many kind faces.  The funeral will be here at the building on Saturday at 2 PM.

I would like to also mention Sue Mora.  She volunteers in the office every Monday.  The ministers love these ladies give their time each week.  Sue has been dealing with her moms, Dorothy, hip replacement and rehab.  Her brother is down and will have back surgery soon.  Her sister is in the hospital in Port Saint Lucie on a respirator after a violent asthma attack.  Her brother-in-law, Billy, is in rehab in West Palm.  Sue is trying to keep the family going.

Then we have Ola Ellis, who has been dealing with a lot with her family recently.  Her sister is in hospice and not expected to live.  Her sister-in-law has been dealing with a lot of health issues.   It is a lot on her right now.

Jerry Cutshall is still trying to determine what is causing his severe headaches.  The latest test from the EEG did not reveal the answers.  It is very frustrating.  Jerry, as well as all of these need our prayers.  Keep up with the bulletin and updates for others that may not have been mentioned.

PLEASE call the church office (567-2465) if there is something to report on those in our congregation who need prayers.  Even if no one is in the office at the time, the volunteers check the voicemail once or twice a day - Monday through Friday.  Of course you can always email us.

Let's end on a positive note...a sticky note, that is.  On November 25th, we will be having our regular Wednesday night meeting on that Tuesday night.  Everyone will meet in the Worship Center for a time of Scripture reading, singing, and prayers of thanksgiving.  We will also use sticky notes for something unique.  Make plans to be here on the 25th at 7 PM.


COMING SOON: Announcements for upcoming Bible classes beginning in December.  The December sermon series.  Sunday night activities in December.  Information about our Christmas Eve Luncheon and New Years Day brunch.  There is something special coming in January that will be rolled out soon as well.
