Volume I Number 5
Greetings! I
hope you are well. Let's start with the sick list and sick-news from
yesterday. The list, as it was carried to the lectern, is as follows:
Nursing Home Residents:
Mary Elmore, Alberta Roney.
Sick List: Luneal
Russell, Glenn Russell (he is doing better, though still on medication);
Sheila Mills (doing much better -- she sent her thanks for the cards etc.);
Jack Gott (Freda's dad -- awaiting results from his surgery last week);
Winifred Capps (home from the hospital and doing better); Mollie Phillips
(moved to a room at SAMC and still recovering from open-heart surgery on
Friday of last week); Tammie Phillips (home and doing well); Thelma Greenwood
(hospitalized in Arkansas - George Blevins sister); Bertha Johnson; Ruby
Carpenter; Steve King; EThell Kilgore (with us for both worship services!);
Paul Suggs; Shanda Jones; Scott Downs; Loren Crawford; Wayne Crawford;
Merle Whatley; Wilburn Roney, Blondell Cross, and many others.
We add to that list
Amy Hutchinson, who is to have tonsil surgery today. Also, Ernest
and Georgia, while on their way to be with her, had car trouble and had
to be picked up before reaching their destination. The whole family
remains in our prayers pending the surgery.
Now, on to the summary:
Wilburn Roney led
the song before Bible Class, Loren Russell led the prayer, and I taught
from Mark 2 and 3. A. Scourby (via audio tape) read chapter 2 for
us, we answered the questions from the lesson, and started the third chapter
before time expired.
I made the announcements
before the morning worship, Coby Smith did a tremendous job leading singing,
Jerry Gant led the first prayer, I presided at the table and was assisted
by Gary Wolfe, Lee Wolfe, and Blake Epperson. I preached on the purpose
of the work of Jesus, and Ray Wiehe led the closing prayer. Though
we had several sick and some out of town, with the visitors we had a good
crowd!
Singing class went
well, with the following leaders: Tim Smith, Alex White, Chad White,
C.J. Smith, Casey Smith, Cody Russell, Rett Russell, Glenn Russell, Jimmy
Kilgore, and EThell Kilgore (my apologies if I missed someone).
I made the announcements
before the evening worship, Jimmy Kilgore did a very good job leading the
singing, George Blevins led the first prayer, I preached on some lessons
from Gideon (Judges 6 & 7), Glenn Russell presided at the Lord's Table,
and Rob Taylor led the closing prayer.
Visitation Team 1
met last evening following the worship, and the turnout was very good!
All in all, it was
a good day! We enjoyed having Janet Ridgeway's 2 daughters and son-in-law
and grandchild as well as Loren Russell yesterday morning! We enjoyed
having Wade Warren and M/M Casey Smith last evening! Of course, we
enjoyed the other visitors also!
Let us remember the
TV Show this evening at 7:00 P.M. on Graceba Total Communications Cable
6 -- (Ashford market only this evening)! The program is entitled,
"What do you see in the Cross?" It originally aired in February of
this year.
I guess that is all
for now. Take care and have a good week! Tim
