Sunday

“Enter through the narrow gate.

For the gate is wide

and the road is broad that leads to destruction,

and there are many who go through it.”

~Matthew 7:13, HCSB~

 

Alan Ray Blackwell is home.  Pray for Mr. John Alan, Ray, and Beverly as they have all had medical issues lately.

Mrs. Inez Randall had a nasty fall that caused her to spend time at the ER at Hood’s.  After some attention there, she was pronounced to be in better condition than first thought.  “Miss” Inez was married to the former Rev. Lawrence Randall.  Please pray for no serious problems to show up later for “Miss” Inez.
