“Oh, give thanks to the Lord!
Call upon His name;
make known His deeds among the peoples!”
~Psalm 105:1~
Mrs. Nadine Council continues to progress at home following her hip replacement. It will be good to see her back at church. Thank God for her progress.
Charles Slade has fully recovered from his copperhead bite. Thank God for his recovery.
Thank God for the life and testimory of Mr. Quincy Chapman. Pray for the family as they have a memorial service today. It should be a wonderful testimony for this man and his special family.

My youngest son, John, has a half brother, Will. Will is 10 years old and he is having an operation on the 21st. Will has one lung and they are operating on it. He has a 50/50 chance of surviving the surgery. I am asking people to pray for him and would you and your church pray for him. His full name is William “Will” Easley; he is 10 years old. He also just lost his Mom to sugar in March. Could you also put him on the prayer link. I would appreciate it and thanks for the job you do to keep everyone informed.

“At the name of Jesus every knee should bow…” Philippians 2:10
Mike Benson, Editor
HAD IT NOT been for a confident and encouraging wife, Sofia, we might not have listed among the great names of literature the name of Nathaniel Hawthorne…
When Nathaniel, a heartbroken man, went home to tell his wife he was a failure and had been fired from his job in a customhouse, she surprised him with an exclamation of joy.
“Now,” she said triumphantly, “you can write your book!” “Yes,” replied the man, with sagging confidence, “and what shall we live on while I am writing it.” To his amazement, she opened a drawer and pulled out a substantial sum of money. “Where on earth did you get that?” he exclaimed. “I have always known you were a man of genius,” she told him. “I knew that someday you would write a masterpiece. So every week, out of the money you gave me for housekeeping, I saved a little bit. So here is enough to last us for one whole year.”
From her trust and confidence came one of the greatest novels of American literature, The Scarlet Letter.
When most people who’ve achieved great things tell their stories, they mention those who encouraged him along the way. (David Jeremiah)
“Then news of these things came to the ears of the church in Jerusalem,
and they sent out Barnabas to go as far as Antioch.
When he came and had seen the grace of God, he was glad,
and encouraged them all that with purpose of heart
they should continue with the Lord.
For he was a good man, full of the Holy Spirit and of faith.
And a great many people were added to the Lord.”
Acts 11:22-24
