Sandra Simpson Arnold is having heart surgery. Pray for her and the medical staff as they work with her today. Pray for the family as they wait during surgery and for Sandra that she might have a full and easy recovery.
Pray for Marsha Bankston. She went to Ochsner in New Orleans yesterday to get her first round of chemo. Instead, the doctors found she had low blood sugar and hospitalized her. The chemo is on hold for now.

I will sing to You among the nations.”

Have a happy Monday!

Miss Laura Joiner has been taken to New Orleans. I don’t have a good update on her condition.
Mr. Raymond Anthony continues to improve a little. Pray for him and for his family.
Mr. Kenneth Birch is having a complication from surgery. Pray he improves this week.
Marsha Bankston was able to be in church today. Pray for her as she begins her treatment this week.
David Allen has had a few side effects from his last treatment. Thank God David got this far before having any problems. Thank God the problem was not too much to David to overcome. Pray for him and his family as the treatments continue.
Thank God for three mothers over ninety years of age at church this morning. All are still living in their long term homes. On top of that, two of them drove themselves to church.
This morning, just before worship service began, Miss Laura Joiner tripped and fell in the center aisle. She was taken by ambulance to a hospital. I don’t have an update on her condition, but will let you know something later. Please pray for Miss Laura.
“For their sake I dedicate myself completely to you,
in order that they, too, may be truly dedicated to you.”
~John 17:19 TEV~
“We were gentle among you,
like a mother caring for her little children.”
~1 Thessalonians 2:7~
Today, FBC, Kentwood (and many other churches) will honor mothers and dedicated babies. Dedicating babies is a promise PARENTS make to train up their child as they should be.
Happy Mother’s Day!
